“Are Sin, Disease, and Death
Real?” is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be
read in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist, on Sunday, October
12.
The Golden Text is: “Heal
me, O Lord, and I shall be
healed; save me, and I shall be
saved: for thou art my praise”
(Jeremiah 17:14).
Among the citations which
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:
“O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin; and
the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Cor-
inthians 15:55-57).

good health for several years
but was confined to his bed
for only three weeks. Although
it was known that he could not
recover, still when news of his
heath was wafted about our
community, it caused many
a pang of sorrow to pervade
the hearts of loved ones and
friends.
Funeral arrangements were
made for Wednesday morning.
The funeral procession left the
family residence in the Mt.
Olive section, at 9 a. m. thence
to the Sts. Cyril and Methodius
Church for Requiem High Mass
which was celebrated by Rev.
E. J. Bily who also preached a
consoling sermon. The funeral
rites were in charge of Mcn-
signor Netardus and Father
Bily.
Pall-bearers were: Charles
and Ben Siegel, Joe Machacek,
Stanley and Frank Siegel and
Godfrey Maehart.
The attendance at the last
rites was unusually large and
the floral offering beautiful and
profuse, ample manifestations
of the love the people of this
section had for this truly good
man.
Deceased was born in Czecho
Slovakia and reached the age
of 81 years, 4 months and 19
days. About 54 years ago he
was united in marriage to Miss
Annie Kucera. Together they
have walked down life’s path-
way and reared a fine family
of 9 dutiful daughters, two
being members of the Sisters of
Incarnate Word, both now in
Shiner.
Surviving with their mother
are: Mrs. Leo (Annie) Netek,
Corpus Christi; Mrs. Mike
(Mary) Siegel; Mrs. Jim
(Katie) Maehart; Mrs. Joe
(Rosie) Machacek; Mrs. Jerome
(Agnes) Siegel; Mrs. Louis
(Bessie) Svoboda; Mrs. Frank
(Christine) Marek and Sisters
Nepomucene and Bohumila of
the local Convent. Other sur-
vivors are two brothers, Al-
bert Svatek of Shiner and
Frank Svatek of Flatonia, also
31 grandchildren and 2 great-
grandchildren.
Mr. Svatek leaves his family
an enviable heritage of devot-
ion to his church. During the
hours of suffering his faith was
unchallenged. He has lived a
righteous life and has gone tq
reap his reward. Devoted to his
family, his absence will be
keenly felt. A loyal member of
the local K|. J. T. the members
attended the funeral in a body.
Our sympathy goes out to
his bereaved ones, commending
them to the God he loved and
served so faithfully, while here
upon earth.
Mr. Svatek had not enjoyed health for the past six years.
Last Tuesday, his condition be-
came critical and though all
possible was done for him, not
much hope was held for his re-
covery.
She funeral was held Mon-
day at 9 a. m. from the family
residence near Shiner. Requiem
Mass was said in Sts. Cyril and
Methodius church by Mons. L.
P. Netardus, who also spoke
touching words of consolation
to the bereaved and paid a
beautiful tribute to the de-
ceased.
Interment was made in the
Shiner Catholic Cemetery. Rev.
E. Bily officiated at the home
and grave.
Pall-bearers were: Adolph
Filip, Adolph Sembera, Walde-
mar Tieken, Louis Matula, W.
J. Janecek, Felix Hybner, Al-
bert Kurtz, and Walter Goetz.
In spite of the bad weather, the
last sad rites were attended by
a large number of friends and
relatives, who showed by their
presence and an unusually beau
tiful floral offering, their love,
respect and friendship for a
good man who has passed out
of this life. Henry See and
Benno Holchak presented the
flag to the bereaved widow, Mr.
Kubecka having served in the
World War.
The deceased was born in
Columbus, but at the age of six
years moved to Shiner with his
parents, and has lived
ever since. In 1921 he was unit-
ed in marriage to Miss Emma
Schoenfeld. He was classed as
one of the most prominent
and progressive farmers in this
community, and though in re-
cent years his health was fail-
ing, he bore his cross with true
Christian fortitude. His genial
nature and his willingness to
help others won him the res-
pect and admiration of every-
one with whom he came in con-
About forty six young men

In the early afternoon hours
of Tuesday September 30, death
came to end the worthy life of
a beloved Shiner lady, as Mrs.
Marie Dusek answered the final
summons at 1:30 o’clock. Her
passing was not unexpected, for
her condition had been critical
for several days, nevertheless
when it became known that this
good lady was no more, many
heads were bowed with genuine
sorrow.
The deceased was a shining
example of Christian patience.
About 12 years ago she sus-
tained a broken limb and for a
long time afterward was con-
fined to a wheel chair. During
her long period of physical dis -
ability, she was never known
to complain, but by her cheer-
ful smile and kind word spread
sunshine to those about her. A
great comfort to her was the
loving devotion of her children,
who eagerly ministered to her
every want, and did all in their
power to make her comfortable.
A fervent Catholic, she found
great solace and comfort in her
religion.
Mrs. Dusek, nee Welfl, was
born at Netolice, Czechoslovakia
January 2, 1862, at the time of
her death having attained the
age of 79 years, 8 months and
28 days. In 1882 she came to
this country and in 1883 she
was married to John Dusek. Her
husband preceded her to the
grave in 1933. Their union was
blessed with eight children, who
are: John, Frank, Martin, Mrs,.
Joe (Marie) Wagner, Mrs.
Frank (Frances) Vesely, Mrs.
Chas. (Anna) Bolech, Miss Ma-
tilda Dusek and Miss Justina
Dusek. The family had spent
all their married life in La-
vaca County with the exception
of 3 years spent in Wharton
County. For the past 5 years
they made their home in town.
Funeral services were held
Thursday, October 2, at 9 a. m.
Requiem Mass was said in the
Shiner Catholic Church by
Mons. L. P. Netardus who also
spoke words of consolation and
interment was made in the Shin
er Catholic Cemetery, Rev. Bily
performing the rites at the
grave. Pall-bearers were: Jim
and Jerome Dusek, James Vese-
ly, Louis Mozisek, Benjamin
Zissa and Edward Wagner. The
local K. J. Z. T. Society ac-
companied her on her last
earthly journey. An eloquent
testimonial of the love in which
the deceased was held was the
large attendance at the funeral
and the wealth of floral of-
ferings that conveyed the deep
sympathy of friends to the sor-
rowing loved ones in their loss.
Besides her children, Mrs.
Dusek leaves two brothers, John
Welfl of Moulton and Frank
Welfl of Sweet Home; one sis-
ter, Mrs. Frances Mikes in
Czechoslovakia; 23 grandchil-
dren and 13 great grandchil-
dren.
And so we bid farewell to a
lady whose friendship we have
valued highly, and, to those so
deeply grieved by her passing
we offer tender and abiding
sympathy.

and groom were attired in dark
crepe dresses and each wore a
corsage of pink carnations.
After the ceremony an in-
formal reception was held at the
home of the bride’s parents fol-
lowed by a dance at night at
Kokernot Grove. The bride, a
lovely young lady, is a grad-
uate of the local St. Ludmilas
Academy with the class of *38,
while the groom is an indus-
trious young son of prominent
residents of Wilson, Texas.
The young couple will make
their home in Wilson where the
groom is employed.
May their pathway through
life be filled with sunshine and
happiness is the wish of their
many friends.
