Assisting were Dr. Briggs and nurse Tulley. His parents were Alois (Louis) Shavlik and Ludmila (Millie) Blatny Shavlik. In 1931, Louis and Millie moved their family – Milo, Rose, and Stan – back to the Linwood area. A Sears kit home was built on the Shavlik Farm in NW Saunders County. Stan attended rural school District #86 through 8th grade and high school in Linwood. With no professor available for Stan's 12th grade, he stayed home to help with farming. Returning to high school the following year, his Senior class included Jean Dvorak and Clarence Thege. They graduated in 1948. Stan and Jean were married on November 7, 1950 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Linwood. On the Shavlik Farm, they built a small cabin-style house, adding to it as their family expanded. Eventually, Stan and Jean switched houses with Louis and Millie. Stan farmed row crops, had cattle and hogs, sold scrap iron and fixed radios and television sets. With his journeyman electrician license, he was able to get "wiring" jobs. In the 1970's, Stan helped organize the Saunders County Pork Producers, serving as President the first two years. He was quite involved with the Farmers Coop and grain elevator in Linwood, serving as president and training several managers. With three children attending District #86, Stan was on the school board. A lot of time was spent with his children, whether in day-to-day farm life, or attending school events. Stan farrowed hogs, and later began finishing feeder pigs. His small herd of cattle would calve in the spring. It was a favorite time, helping to welcome each new life into the world. After reading about the scarcity of the Eastern Bluebird, Stan learned to build nest boxes for them. He enjoyed monitoring the 'trail' and photographing the bluebirds, eventually fledging over 2,000 chicks. Stan kept water out for the wild birds and put up nectar feeders for the hummingbirds. Woodpeckers loved the suet blocks, and orioles enjoyed orange halves and grape jelly. Time was spent photographing area wildlife – especially bald eagles. Another cherished hobby was fixing clocks or creating cordless clocks in one-of-a-kind imaginative styles. The physical life of a farmer resulted in Stan having knee surgeries, spinal surgeries, hip replacement and other minor surgeries over the years. Stan relied upon Jean and appreciated all her help. They were a wonderful 'Team' for 67 years and 9 months. During his lifetime, Stan belonged to Catholic Parishes of St. Mary's in Linwood, Sts. Peter and Paul in Abie, St Anthony's in Bruno, and St. George in Morse Bluff. Faith and fellowship have been the cornerstone of his foundation. Stan departed this world on July 4, 2021 in Fremont, NE. He was preceded in death by his parents; his infant brother; his beloved wife, Jean; brother- in- law George Vanis; sister-in-law, Phyllis Shavlik.
