Mrs. Macha Honored
On 96th Birthday
Mary Macha was honored for outliv-
ing her SPJST insurance policy during
the SPJST District IV meeting hosted
by Lodge No. 73 in Seymour on April
26, 1992.
On běhali of the SPJST Society, Di-
rector Stanley Brož, presented Mrs.
Macha with a Certificate of Apprecia-
tion for her devoted membership, also
a corsage was given to her as an appre-
ciation token.
Mary Marak Macha was born April
26, 1896 on a farm in Hill County,
Texas. Just over the line from
McLennan County, the farm is about 3
miles from the town of West, which is
just north of Waco. Mary was the sixth
of nine children; all but her sister, Hat-
tie Pavliček, age 93 háve predeceased
Mary.
Mary’s father, Matthew Marak, came
to this country in 1856 at the age of 5
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Frantizek Marak, from Moravia in
Czechoslovakia to Dubina, southeast
of La Grange, from the region of Horni
Sklenov near Frenštát. Mary’s mother
was a Zbavitel; she came to Dubina at
age 13.
Mary went to parochial school about
2 years and also public school in West.
In 1906 when she was 10, her family
moved from West to Bomarton in Bay-
lor County. She first went to school a
year or two at Shady, northeast of
Bomarton, then contínued in public
school at Bomarton.
In January 1916, Mary married Louis
J. Macha at Bomarton. They lived one

year on the Mikulastic plače south of
Bomarton, one year on the Matthew
Marak farm one mile north of
Bomarton, then they purchased 100
acres about 2 1/2 miles northeast of
Bomarton from Roman Marak, her
brother.
Mary’s husband, Louis, died in Feb-
ruary 1928. She has been a widow 64
years. Mařy continued living on the.
farm until March 1980, when she
moved to the housing project located
on the southeast side of Seymour.
Three children were born to Louis
and Mary Macha, námely: George,
Marilyn and Eleanor. George lives in
Wichita Falls, Marilyn Cloud lives in
Rule and Eleanor Hoover lives in Con-
roe.
Except for hearing loss, Mary has en-
joyed good health all these years and
continues to do so. She drove a car
until 2 years ago. She still takés an in-
terest in the farm and, being a farmer,
one of her consuming interests is the
weather. She loves her church.
Besides Mary’s three children, she
also has ten grandchildren and five
great-grandchildlren.
Mary joined the SPJST organization
in 1916, becoming a member of Lodge
No. 77, Bomarton, which merged with
Lodge No. 73, Seymour a few years
ago.
The Supreme Lodge and Lodge No.
73 members wish Mrs. Mary Marak
many years of good health and happi-
ness.
