Read More	From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, November 8, 1917, transcribed by Linda Berney: Thomas Skrivan Dead – Like a thunderbolt from the sky flashed the news of the death of Thomas Skrivan. Although he has been fast failing in health, the end was not expected to come so soon. As the funeral is not to take place until tomorrow (Friday) we are not able to publish a complete obituary, but will make a full account of it next week. ~~~~~~~~ From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, November 15, 1917, transcribed by Linda Berney: Thomas Skrivan – Last Tuesday evening at exact 11 o'clock, Thomas Skrivan passed away quietly at his home in the south part of the city. Mr. Skrivan has been in ill health for the past six months, and it was not until a few weeks ago that his life was gradually ebbing away. Like a thunderbolt the news of his death spread over the city. Thomas Skrivan was born August 28, 1866, in Milcice, Bohemia, and there he grew to manhood. At the age 24, he was married to Miss Marie Hejman, and was a true and faithful husband to the last. To this union 12 children were born: Albert, Vincent, Harry and Mrs. Pete Step, who were born in Bohemia, and Amelia, James, Bessie, Louise and William, who were born since coming to America. Three children dying in infancy. In the year 1899 he with his family of 4 children sailed for America, and settled in Baltimore, Md., where Mr. Skrivan took up his trade as carpenter, and there followed that profession for ten years, when he moved to Greeley county, settling in Wolbach, here residing until his departure to the great beyond. His passing was peaceful and he was conscious nearly to the end. All the children were present at his side, but Albert, who was unable to come from the army. A week before his death he was called and then securing only a few days furlough, not long enough to be present. One of the greatest tributes that could be paid to Mr. Skrivan is the recognition of his success in rearing such a splendid family. In them will his noble life and character be represented for years to come. Many are the friends who have tried by word or pen or flowers to express their feelings of their heart. Tho all who knew him feel their loss, yet we know it was his hour of triumph. It matters not when or where the road terminates, God will be there. He has made his exit out of this world more glorious than we can imagine. It was his home going. Nothing is more beautiful than the close of a day. In the autumn the leaves of the forest are painted with the glory of death in shades of gold and crimson, and a gentle breeze lowers them to their grave. It is the time of ripeness, and all experiences of trials, disappointments, successes, sorrows and joys tend to ripen us for God's autumnal harvest. All things that ripen are commentaries or death, and God will make our going as easy as Mr. Skrivan's if we are as worthy as he. TO FATHER: "You have labored hard and long Many a month and many a year "not for me" that was your song "But for my children's love and cheer." When into our lives there came Shadows, falling thick and fast, Quick to father then, whose name Proved a friend unto the last. We had longed to keep you here Just because we loved you so, We'd have kept you ever near, But farewell—you had to go. Sleep, dear father, sleep and rest Gently on thy Fathers breast, Tho we speak with tear dimmed eyes, God knows best, he is all wise." Funeral services were held from the Catholic church, conducted by Father Feeney of Greeley. The remains were laid to rest in Hillside cemetery. They were followed to their last resting place by many friends, to pay their last tribute to a good friend they all loved. The bereaved wife and children and (Sic) the sympathy of the entire community in their hour of bereavement. CARD OF THANKS – We wish to sincerely thank the public for their grateful help and assistance tendered us during the sickness, death and burial of our beloved husband, father and brother. In appreciation for the beautiful floral offerings, we thank the (sic) from the bottom of our heart. Mrs. Thomas Skrivan and family, Vincent Skrivan.
