At the age of 13 she came with her parents to the United States. The family located at Solon, Iowa where she grew to womanhood. On April 20th, 1889 she was united in marriage to Joseph Safranek at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where the new home was established. Two sons and four daughters came to bless this home and to extend its fine Christian influence into the community. The family lived at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, until 1906 when they came to Oelwein, where their residence has been continuous ever since. Mrs. Safranek is survived by her husband, the companion of 54 years of devoted home-life and enobling comradeship: and by two sons and four daughters— William Safranek of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Floyd DeBow, Fred Safranek, Mrs. John Kvasnicka, Mrs. Albert Youngblut, Mrs. Lambert Lacy, all of Oelwein. She is also survived by one step-sister, Mrs. J. Beranek of Morse, Iowa, one step-brother, Frank Stehlik of Cedar Rapids, and by 10 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. One grandson, Harold DeBow, was reported "killed in action" in the present World War. Mr. and Mrs. Safranek were charter members of the John Huss Methodist church in Cedar Rapids and rendered distinctive service in establishing and developing that church. Mr. Safranek acted as organist for a number of years and Mrs. Safranek devoted her strength to the social activities among the women and the Ladies Aid Society. After coming to Oelwein they transferred their membership to Grace Methodist church, where she was a loyal member working with Unit 10 of the Woman's Society of Christian Service and with the Big Sisters Sunday School class. She was also an interested member of the V. F. W. Auxiliary. A devoted wife and mother, a deeply Christian woman, she quietly rendered a faithful service in her Savior's Name.
