He spent three years of his youth in the Austrian Army and came to America at age of 24 and lived with his parents at Cedar Hill. In 1878, he was united in marriage to Katherine Vojtech, after which they purchased a farm in Rock Creek precinct where they lived until 1900 when they retired from the farm and moved to Weston. In 1902 they moved to Wahoo where they made their home until the husband passed away July 20, 1926. To this union eight children were born, six of whom are living. Mr. Kavan was well known in Saunders county and loved by his many friends because of his high sense of honor which characterized him, his cheerful disposition, his honesty and integrity. He was a deep thinker and reader, very progressive, always willing to work for the welfare of humanity. Although he has been ailing for some time his death was unexpected as his passing on was very peaceful. Judge Slama was in charge of the services that were held at the home at 9:30 Saturday morning. Beside the widow and six daughters, the deceased leaves two brothers, Philip Kavan of Wahoo and Jacob of Linwood, and three sisters, Mrs. Victoria Navacek and Mrs. Mary Welna of Omaha and Mrs. Anna Stanislav of Linwood. Card of Thanks To the many thoughtful friends and neighbors who were so kind to us during the sickness, death and burial of our beloved husband and father, we extend our sincere thanks, also for the many beautiful floral offerings, the kind remembrance of the Royal Neighbors of Weston, and Judge Slama for his kind and comforting words.
