Many relatives and friends were present at the funeral, including a large number from David City, Bellwood, Surprise, Ulysses, Bee, Dwight and Prague.

George Kozisek was born at Dartford, Wis., November 12, 1863, a son of Frank and Anna Kozisek. In 1873, the Kozisek family moved to Butler county, Nebraska, the father making three trips here by wagon from Wisconsin that year to take out a homestead, break 80 acres of prairie sod, and prepare a home for his family. Mrs. Anna Yindrick and brother, Frank, accompanied their father on his first trip and remained here while the move was being accomplished. George Kozisek and Josephine Yindrick were united in marriage at Appleton November 7, 1884, and from that time until death they resided on the same farm northwest of Bruno.

Mr. Kozisek was a man of upright character, honest, trustworthy and just. He was a devout Catholic, a member of the Holy Name society, a man who lived and died in peace with God and man. He suffered patiently and was ever thoughtful of others during his long illness. As a pioneer citizen, he did his full share in building up the community in which he lived, and was at one time county supervisor of Dist. No. 1 for four years. ___ Card of Thanks - We are taking this means of thanking all those who so kindly assisted us during the illness and at time of death of our brother, especially Father Kopecky, also for the many spiritual bouquets.
