Funeral services were held from the home near Jelen, Thursday of last week, under auspices of the ZCBJ Lodge of which she was a member. Many beautiful floral tributes testified in their mute way to the high esteem in which she was held by all. Jacob F. Kolar read the funeral address in the Bohemian language. Interment was made in the Jelen cemetery.
