Deceased was a native of Bohemia, coming to America about thirty years ago and located on farm near Pocahontas, but for several years past has been residing in town. There is left to mourn with the widow, two sons and three daughters. They are Frank and Joseph Vodraska, Mrs. Anton Hronek, Mrs. Emanuel Hronek and Mrs. Katie Wolf. The funeral was held Wednesday forenoon, the services conducted in St. Peter and Paul's church by Rev. Duda, and the remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery. NOTE: Vaclav was the father of eleven children. His first wife, Johanna Kalisova died of an illness and was the mother of Frantisek and Jan [John]. Jan died two weeks before his mother at the age of 8 months. By his second wife, Marie Stejskalova, he had 9 children, Vaclav, Jan, Katerina, Marie, Anna Mary, Katerina, Josef Francis, Catherine Ann and Josefa. Only Marie, Anna Mary, Josef and Catherine Ann lived to adulthood. There is a possibility that Vaclacv (jr) had come over from the old country but soon left on his own and went west. He may have gone to Missouri. Contributed by Teresa Davis
