Last Thursday morning, Jan. 27,
1921, came the message from Bell
vile, Ohio, that Robert A. Klimesh,
died there during the night, preced-
ing. He had been seriously i'll for
about six weeks before his death. He
went to DR.. Keith's sanitorium at
Belleville to receive treatment ac-
cording to the physio medical system
Of medication. For a time he seemed
to improve there, but the end came
quickly at last in spite of all efforts.
He was cheerful and hopeful almost
to his last day, and his death was a
sad blow to his wife and family in
| spite of their knowledge of the SER
ious nature of his illness. He was
born on farm near Protivin, Iowa,
on March 81, 1877, thus being nearly
forty-four years old at the time of
his death. He spent his early life
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Klemish in Spillville, Iowa. In 1900
he was married to Miss Mary An
dera at ST. Weneslaus church here,
| by Rev. Jos. Dostal. Soon after they
moved to farm near Karlin, Mis-
souri,. From there they came to Pro-
twin, Iowa, and from there, after
seven years stay they came to Spill
vile, where Mr.. Klimesh soon after
engaged in the garage and automo-
bile business with marked success
until the present time.
He leaves behind a grief stricken
wife and eight children, lof whom
Robert is the eldest, about twenty
years of age, then Charles, Otilia
Sidonia, Celestine, Emil, Cyril anG
Bohumer, the last named being only
fifteen months old. The funera
was held Monday morning at II
o'clock at st. Wenceslaus church
and cemetery, Rev. j. P. Broz anC
Rev. Lakomy performing the funera
rites, with Anton Balik as funera
director. The members of the loca
lodges of the three Catholic order
of which the deceased was a mem
Der, accompanied the remains to tn
grave. The pail bearers were 10
seph Mikota and William Kalishe
of Protivin, Edd Novak, Joseph Kuh
John Simek and John Korbel o
, this parish.
1t seems hard 70 be torn by deaf
= from manhood's duties at a time o
, life when those duties are the mos
, strenuous and most precious, whe
the little ones need most a lOvin
! fathers care. But in such thing
/ the bereaved ones, like all mortal
{ should bow meekly before a Wisdol
{ higher than mans, for surely it
true "be our veal or woe what the
e may, a higher purpose through a
the ages run"
p May he rest in peace.
