Entered as "Janda" as several families by that name were in Plattsmouth census in 1880. Born in Moravia Note that the age and birthyear in the obituary do not agree.) ------- Died - Yanda - At Plattsmouth, Nebraska, on Sept 3d, 1879, Joseph Yanda, aged 17 years and 6 months. The deceased had been at La Platte visiting friends and relatives and on Sunday morning had started for his home in Duke's Addition. As he passed through a wire fence at the north end of the Platte bridge, a shot gun he was bringing home with him was accidentally discharged, the shot taking effect in the left arm and side which finally resulted in his death at 12 o'clock on the following Tuesday. The deceased was born at Moravia, in Bohemia, on March 1, 1851 (sic) and came to this country with his father and three brothers on the first day of last August; immediately on his arrival here he and his five brothers organized what is known as the Bohemian Band, whose ability as musicians has been favorably established. The funeral ceremonies were conducted by Father Linch, while many of the warm and loving friends he had made in his short acquaintance here, headed by his brothers of the band, followed his remains to the cemetery. After the funeral ceremonies were over the brothers gathered around the grave and played a most touching and pathetic funeral dirge over the remains of the dead brother, which was one of the handsomest brotherly tributes that could have possibly been paid to the deceased. He was a kind brother, and loving friend, a patriot to the cause of energy and a disciple to thrift. The great manly nerve displayed in his last misfortune, made him an honor to his newly adopted country, and a martyr to his will. He sleeps now mid the elements of clay, moistened by the tears of many friends, mourned by all that knew him. Son, Friend, Brother, fare thee well.
