DAVIS PASSED AWAY AT A HOLDREGE HOSPITAL LAST SATURDAY --------- HARLAN COUNTY JOURNAL, Alma, Nebraska Thursday, February 11, 1943 -- pg 1 -- col 6, & pg 8 --------- This community was deeply shocked Saturday of last week when announcement was made of the death of Mrs. A. C. Davis at a hospital in Holdrege, following a short illness. Mrs. Davis had spent the past twenty-seven years in this community, during which time she won the admiration and respect of everyone. For many years she assisted her husband, the late A. C. Davis and her sons, with the operation of their grocery and market in our city, and in that way had a very close contact and association with the residents of our community. Throughout these years Mrs. Davis had a ready smile and a hearty greeting for all. Since the death of her husband in 1939, Mrs. Davis had continued to make her home in the Alma community and up to a short time previous to her passing, had enjoyed comparatively good health and her association with her many friends and acquaintances. Funeral services were conducted from the Christian Church in Alma Monday afternoon at two o'clock, with Rev. R. O. Fife in charge, and burial was made in the local cemetery Members of the local American Legion acted as pallbearers. Zulauf's Funeral Service had charge of arrangements. Obituary: Anna Ondrak was born October 16, 1872, on the Atlantic Ocean, coming from Bohemia to America, and passed away at the Peterson Hospital at Holdrege, Nebraska, February 6, 1943. She lived with her parents in Wisconsin about four years, then moving with them to Ohiowa, Nebraska. She was united in marriage to Arthur C. Davis on June 8, 1890. To this union nine children were born. In 1892, Mr. and Mrs. Davis moved to Harlan County, Nebraska. Since February, 1916, they have resided in Alma, where Mr. Davis was engaged in operating a grocery and market until October, 1936, when they retired from business. Mrs. Davis was preceded in death by her son John, who passed away in 1924, and by her husband, who departed this life July 17, 1939. All four of her sons were in the armed forces during World War I, and at present seven of her grandsons are in the service of their country. Mrs. Davis leaves to mourn her death, her five daughters, Nettie Neubauer of Orleans, Nebr.; Mayme Strayer of McCook, Nebr.; Sadie Longsine of Stamford, Nebr.; Nellie Henderson of Rock Island, Ill.; and Addie Calkins of Alma; three sons, Arnold and Charles of Alma, Nebr., and Frank of Holdrege; her three sisters, Minnie Styskal of Ohiowa, Nebr., Fannie Friese of Ravenna, Nebr., Julia Yeck of Burchard, Nebr. and one brother, John of Exeter, Nebr., and many other relatives and a host of friends. * * * * * * The above obituary was also printed in THE NEBRASKA SIGNAL, Geneva, Nebraska on Feb. 25, 1943. * * * * * Although family legend says she was born on a ship coming to America, the 1880 census has her brother John born in 1870, Anna in 1871 & sister Kate born about 1873, all born in Wisconsin. 1900 census says she was born in Wisconsin; 1910 census says Nebraska; 1920 census says Bohemia; 1930 & 1940 both say "At Sea" - so who knows for sure.~ (Jeri 1/15/2014)
