who were at the funeral. The body

Keeney Cemetery
Miss Caroline A. StradaI was born in
Bohemia, October 10, 1878, and came
to the United States with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Strada1, sr, when
she was but a babe. The family first
located in Chicago, then in Nebraska
and later in Kansas, coming to Trego
county in 1879 They located in the
Bohemian settlement near Voda, and
this county. has been their home ever
| since. The family has known what it
is to go through the hardships of
pioneer life and Miss Caroline bore
her share with patience and forbear-
ance-s She was especially anxious to
obtain an education and accomplished
her desire through her own efforts.
She was a graduate from Trego
County High School and taught in the
country schools of this county for
thirteen years. During this time she
| accumulated funds with which she fin-
! ished the course of the Kansas State
University graduating with the class
of 1911. Following her graduation she
| taught in high schools of the state
until she was elected county superin-
tendent of schools of this county Her
| work as county superintendent was
| most excellent. She worked untiring-
| ly to raise the standard of the country
| schools and to keep the scholars and
| teachers interested in their work and
| indeed, many were the regrets ex-
pressed when it became necessary for
her on account of her health to resign
I her Position Miss StradaI possessed
an unusually bright intellect and had
| accomplished much for herself, the
family and the school children with
whom she came in contact. 1t is indeed
sad that the grim reaper has called
for her and taken her to the eterna
home. Deep and sincere sympathy is
extended to the parents and other rel
atlyes IN their great sorrow
