Benedict (Sonny) Martinek Jr., 11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Martinek, was killed instantly Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 2, 1949, when the tractor he was driving overturned. He was operating the tractor on his father’s farm, and in turning at the end of the field a wheel climbed a post and his machine turned over. Martinek was in the field when the tragedy occurred, and had to summon help and use another tractor to release the boy.

The Martinek farm home is located north east of Rossville. Surviving besides the parents, are two brothers, Douglas and Dwight; two grandmothers Mrs. Frank Diehl and Mrs. Agnes Martinek; and a number of aunts and uncles. He attended 101 rural school near Rossville, where he was a sixth-grader.

Benedict (Sonny) Martinek

IN MEMORIAM -- In loving memory of our darling “Sonny”, who was taken from us thirteen years ago today, August 2, 1949. Thirteen years ago you left us, Son, On your journey home to God; Thirteen years ago with sorrow you were placed beneath the sod. You bade no one a last farewell, you said good-bye to none; God loaned you for a few short years then your stay on earth was done. More and more each day we miss you;
friends may think the wound is healed, but little do they know the sorrow that lies within our hearts concealed. Someday we hope to meet you, Son, In that better land above; where sorrows never enter And there is only Love.

Sadly missed by parents and brothers, Mr. and Mrs. Bennie J. Martinek, Douglas and Dwight.

Bennie J. Martinek
July 4, 1913 - March 4, 1995

As each day dawns, and time marches on,
Our lives still feel some sense of pain
For the loss of our beloved husband and Dad
Still inside our hearts does remain.

We will never forget the light touch of his hand
As he guided us all along the way
For deeds of kindness and words of love
Still grow in our hearts every day.

God’s plan is not always very clear in this life
As we struggle to try to understand
The memories are precious of the times that we shared
In this live here on earth, hand-in-hand.

As we pray for the souls of our loved ones we miss
We know that God cares for us all;
And the angels are carrying our Dad, Sonny, and Dwight
To heaven’s peace and God’s sweet, prayerful call.

Our lives will never be the same
Without his loving way.
We all are longing for his touch
As we go on to face each day.

He shared his heart and soul with us,
And his love will never die.
We’re truly blessed with many thoughts
Of the happy times gone by.

He left us with great memories
And we rely on those each day,
Remembering all the wonderful times
Only he could have brought our way.

Our prayer is for his peaceful rest
Away form life’s sorrows and fears
And that his journey now is led
By Christ’s loving, healing tears.

His presence lives on among us
In the hearts of those he touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost
And he was loved so much.

Obituary- Martinek, Janet
Obituary- Martinek, Janet
Janet L. Martinek, 83, died July 26, 2019, at Stormont Vail Hospital, Topeka, Kansas.

She was born to Ross and Vera (Glass) Leggett, on June 8, 1936, in Fredonia, Kansas. Her early childhood was spent with her maternal grandparents, James and Iva P. Glass. In 1940, her mother, Vera, moved Janet and her brother, William, to Wichita, Kansas. From there they moved to a farm south of Silver Lake, Kansas, with her step-father, Carl Entsminger.

Janet attended schools in rural Shawnee County and upon consolidation attended Silver Lake Grade School and High School, graduating in May, 1954. She was active in school and community activities, which included editing a national recognized high school newspaper, Eagle Flashes. At a time when there were no women’s athletics in high school, she was an avid cheerleader for all sports during those four years. Following graduation, Janet went to work (the next day) for the State of Kansas.

On December 12, 1954, she married Orville Martinek, who survives. They celebrated their 64th anniversary in December.

She worked for many years in various positions with the State of Kansas, the Kansas Legislature and Washburn University. While working for the Kansas Legislature, Janet wrote and compiled the first manual for Legislative Secretaries. She was assistant to the Press Secretary during the administration of Governor Robert F. Bennett, was administrative assistant to the Press Secretary and Office Manager for Attorney General, Robert T. Stephan. Janet then served as Deputy Press Secretary and Administrator at Cedar Crest during the administration of Governor Mike Hayden. She served in the President’s Office at Washburn University, as Office Specialist for two University Presidents, Hugh Thompson and Jerry B. Farley. While at Washburn, Janet took several classes toward a degree in Communications and actively supported campus beautification efforts. She retired from Washburn in 2001. Still not finished with employment outside of her home, Janet went to work for Senator Steve Morris and the Kansas Legislature. She retired again in 2006, but spent several more years working part-time in the Offices of Pinegar, Smith and Associates.

Janet and Orville had three children, who survive: Kenneth (Stephanie), Tempe, AZ; Ronnie (Diane), Lake Wabaunsee, KS; Lesa (George Lambert), Rossville, KS. She is survived by nine grandchildren: Schuyler, Meghan (Brendan Deska), Shelby, Brian (Samantha), and Greg Martinek; Jordan, Cameron, Jacob and Emily Lambert, and two great-granddaughters, Malia Martinek and Elizabeth Lambert. She is also survived by several cousins, nieces and a nephew. In recent years Janet discovered she had two half-sisters. One, Joyce Ahearn, deceased; and the other, Dorothy Krausnick, Buffalo, NY, survives. Her parents and brother, William Ward, preceded her in death.

Active in the work of her church, Janet served in many capacities throughout the years: Sunday School teacher and Superintendent, numerous committees and councils within the church, including chairing the Building Committee that rebuilt the church after it burned in 1984. She remained active following retirement, serving as Secretary of the United Methodist Women and chair of the Scholarship Committee. She also chaired the Silver Lake Library Foundation Board of Directors, and was an active member of the Washburn University Campus Beautification Committee (which she helped organize). Janet was a former member of the Silver Lake School Board and an active member of the Foxie Ladies Red Hat Society Chapter, Silver Lake.

Janet loved to read and go to movies with friends. She loved tending her flower pots, transplanting, trimming and sharing with friends. She loved to bake pies, cookies, cakes and other treats, and was never happier than when her children or grandchildren helped make Christmas cookies. Her favorite activities were watching her children and grandchildren in musicals, plays, school programs, and sports events of all kinds. She and Orville like to travel, when they could, spending much time at the lake or real trips to Oslo, Norway, Ireland, the New England states, and some western states. She was an avid KU basketball fan, loved the Royals, Chiefs and most of all, the Silver Lake Eagles.

A life-long Republican, Janet worked in many campaigns, as a volunteer and paid staff member. She also served as a Shawnee County Precinct Committeewoman for several years.

Visitation will be Monday, July 29, 2019 from 5:00 - 7:00 pm at Parker-Price Cremations, Funerals & Receptions, 245 NW Independence Avenue, Topeka. A Memorial Service will be Tuesday, July 30, 2019, at the Silver Lake United Methodist Church, at 11:00 am.
