The third death occurring in a short time to shock the community, was that of Frank Vonasek, who on last
 week Wednesday evening went out to milk his cows, and not returning in a reasonable time was found, by those who went to the barn to find the cause of delay, lying dead by the side of partly milked COW. pr, Converse, medical examiner, pronounced the cause, lyocarditis MT. Vonasek had
 been ailing for several weeks. Pastor Allen was the first to drive his car | through the unbroken crusty road to the house, when the sad tidings were sent abroad. Frank Vonasek | 56, was born in Bohemia, coming as youth to New York, where he mar
 ried Miss Mary Kriz. They were
 among the first of the fine class of ! Bohemians to settle in town, purchas- | ing the then, so called, Darling place, south of the Hill, known to the des- cendents of the pioneers as one of the original Holt family homesteads. For several years MT. VOnasek worked at his trade of stone mason for the G. Hall Jr., Company, later, caring for his farm and finding his excellent
 work at his trade in constant demand. When the family lost their home by fire a few years ago they went bravely to work and in an incredible short time were again dwelling under their own roof MT. Vonasek leaves | his widow and five children: Rose | (Mrs. Joe Blajaossky), Frank (whO married Miss Bertha Pardis), Oldrich, Irene and Otto. There are three grandchildren, Bertha, Erwin and Old rich Blajaossky. The family have the deep sympathy of all. The funeral, Rev W. V. Allen officiating, at the home, on Saturday afternoon, was very largely attended, as was attested by the procession of 20 automobiles passing over the Hill The services at the cemetery, under the auspices of the O. s. P. s. club, Pastor Allen mak- ing the cOmmittal prayer, was one of the largest gatherings ever held there, an unusual feature being the large Company sleigh drawn by horses bringing a party of men from South Wilmington. The flowers were abun- dant and beautiful.
