She was born in the Frysovicich, Moravia in 1871. I think Antonie, she came with their parents to this country, directly to the district where Jackson spent his difficult beginnings on a farm. In 1891 she married John Dolezilek, also our confrere (?) who before her death a few years previous farmed together successfully and acquired the beautiful property. They had seven children of which two died, Cyril & Florence. Surviving are Jan (John), August, Theodore and daughters Ludmila F. Steele and Agnes Bevers.

She was always mindful of the responsibilities. Funeral was held 26 Dec from Catholics church. Church was well attended and the remains of her stored in Catholic cemetery Mt. Calvary St. Mary's. Family pronounces deep condolences to the deceased and wish you a peaceful rest. [Note: Translated using Google translate. I’m not sure it is perfect but the basic is there. From my research, I know the names to be accurate. Her married name was Dolezilek but the obit put Simecka last so I added the (maiden name).] | |

| 5255 |  | Obituary- Dolezilek, August 2 August Dolezilek Dies In Grass Fire August Dolezilek, 83, a retired Rossville farmer, may have been killed when his clothes were set ablaze as he tried to stomp out a small grass fire, authorities speculated. His body was found Monday, March 22, 1982, near his farm home. Shawnee County Sheriff's Deputy Mike Ramirez told a reporter for the "Topeka Capital-Journal" they were speculating that Mr. Dolezilek was burning trash and, one way or another, was engulfed in flames. Mr. Dolezilek's badly burned body was found at 3:28 p.m. lying in the driveway near his farmhouse, northeast of Rossville, about one-half mile south of 86th Street on Docking Road. An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center. Sherriff's deputies commented they had to treat the death as a homicide until the autopsy report is returned, even though the death appear accidental, maybe coupled with a heart attack. Bennie Martinek, a neighbor, said that Dolezilek usually burned his trash. In the shadow of his farmhouse, a charred pile of newspapers and magazines littered the driveway. Farther north was the still-smoldering outline of a cedar tree and a wide patch of fire-blackened stubble. Several of Dolezilek's relatives, including his brother Ted, also of rural Rossville, were at the scene soon after the fire was discovered. Ted told authorities that August lived alone and that he got around well despite his age. Their parents had lived in the small wood-frame farmhouse before his brother moved therein in the 1920s. Fire units from Shawnee County Fire District No. 1, based in Silver Lake, were first on the scene. "We just happened on it." said Dale Upton. "We were out investigating an illegal burning and took that road back because we saw a column of smoke." They found the grass fire, by then barely burning, and Dolezilek's body. Services for Mr. Dolezilek are pending at Verschelden Funeral Home, St. Marys. | |

| 5288 |  | Obituary- Doud, Bernard Bernard Edward Doud Bernard Edward Doud was born in Rossville, KS. Aug. 24, 1898, lost his life Tuesday, Aug. 29, 1922, aged 24 years and 5 days. Eddie, as he was known to all his friends in the community, was educated in the Rossville schools, completing the high school course with the class of 1918. He was unusually ambitious to grow mentally and anxious to prosper and early developed the habit of thrift. In his effort to have steady employment he had spent much of the time since his graduation in railroad work away from Rossville. Soon after returning from a year's stay in the northwest, eh secured work with the Santa Fe Railroad Co., and it was while in their employ he lost his life at Olathe, when he fell on high voltage wires of the Olathe Power CO. His father, Eventus Doud, died a number of years ago, his death due to old injuries received in the Civil war. His brother Eventus Doud lost his life in the line of duty in the fighting in the Argonne Forest in France. Eddie was ready to take his brother's place and upon becoming twenty-one in 1918 had received orders to report for duty when the order was countermanded at the signing of the armistice. He was a member of the S.B.A. and Woodman lodges of Rossville. His untimely end is mourned by a host of friends and his mother, to whom he was unusually devoted and his dutiful attention to her at all times will forever be a comfort and cherished memory to her. One sister Mrs. P.R. Felker of Corvallis, Mont., also survives. Funeral services were held Saturday, Sept. 2, in the Methodist church, conducted by the Rev. H. L. Nelson, of Topeka, and interment made in the family lot in Rossville cemetery. Edward Doud Killed By Electrocution Bernard Edward Doud, aged 22, son of Mrs. Rose Doud of this city, was killed Monday afternoon between four and five o'clock, at Olathe when he fell across three high voltage wires of the Olathe Light and Power Co. The tragedy occurred within the city limits and hundreds of people looked on while the charred body was removed from across the wires. Members of the fire department used chemicals to extinguish the flames which enveloped Doud's body. Mr. Doud was employed as lineman for the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe wires and those of the Olathe light plant run on the same pole, the former's above. Mr. Doud, who was working alone at the time the tragedy occurred, slipped and fell across the wires from a cross arm on which he stood doing repair work. The body was brought to Rossville last night, in charge of Levi Marion, another Rossville man employed at Olathe, and taken to the home. Mrs. Rose Doud, the mother, had gone to Missoula, Mont., about two weeks ago, to stay with her daughter, Mrs. P.R. Felker, who was preparing to move to Cornwallis, Mont., where Mr. Felker is to take charge of a school. Mrs. Doud is enroute home due to arrive here tomorrow (Friday). The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church, conducted by the Rev. H.L. Nelson, of Topeka. Interment will be made in Rossville cemetery. | |
| 5289 |  | Obituary- Doud, Eventus S. d. 1918 1 Eventus Doud Rests in Home Cemetery The remains of Eventus Doud were laid to rest in Rossville cemetery, Tuesday afternoon following a public funeral held on the high school grounds at 2 p.m. The body arrived in Rossville, Saturday at noon and was brought to the Verschelden undertaking parlor where it lay in state until the day of the funeral, with members of Rossville Post of the Legion doing guard duty. Many flowers were gathered about town Saturday afternoon by ladies and placed with the flag covered casket in the undertaking rooms. The funeral services were simple but none the less impressive. Headed by the band the procession formed on Main street with the Legion Post and visiting Legion members from St. Marys and Silver Lake marching in line behind the band and the relatives behind the veterans. The line of march was east on Perry street to Orange thence north to the school grounds. By request of the mother, no singing was arranged for the service but the band played "Rock of Ages" and "Nearer My God to Thee" while the casket was taken before the outdoor altar. The Rev. H. L. Nelson of Topeka, preached the sermon. At the cemetery the legion ritualistic service was read by Rev. Nelson. The body was lowered to its final resting place and the firing squad fired three rounds in its salute. Bugler Lowell Hook concluded the service with "Taps." The floral offerings were beautiful and elaborate. A beautiful wreath from the Legion Post and a floral flag from the K.L. [missing] and several other set pieces from the people of the community were among the offerings. Eventus is the third of three Rossville boys to be brought home from France, to rest in his native soil. His was the only life lost in the battle line. He was killed during the advance of the 3rd Division in the Argonne, on Oct. 10, 1918. The day following, on Oct. 11, Glen Sebring and John Bravence, two other Rossville boys in the same division, but members of Co. G. 38th Inf., were hit during the same advance. Bravence was wounded severely but Sebring was saved by the bullet flattening itself against his belt buckle. | |
