OBITUARY
LUNDAK.
Joseph Lundak was born Jan. 30th, 1832 in Bohemia, and died at the home of his son, John Lundak, of New Oregon township, on Nov. 8th, 1918, aged 86 years and nine months.
He was married in 1861 in Bohemia, to Victoria Hron, who passed away about three years ago. To them were born two sons, John and Frank the latter dying in infancy while the family were still in Bohemia.
The deceased came to America in 1867, settling in New Oregon township on a piece of prairie land, which he afterwards bought. His entire capital on his arrival was $88, which was used to put up buildings. From this meagre beginning he made a home for himself and family and prospered in the land of his adoption which he loved devotedly, as he was a Bohemian who came to this country to secure the blessings of genuine liberty. He was known among his neighbors as an honest man, a good neighbor and friend.
The funeral was held on Sunday, Rev. Hovlik of Saratoga, officiating, with interment in New Oregon cemetery.

CARD OF THANKS.

John Lundak and Family.
