The Belleville Telescope, August 16, 1962
Helen Houdek, daughter of Wesley and Anna Saip was born November 25, 1860, near Solon, Ia., and departed this life at the Republic County hospital on July 30th at the age of 101 years, eight months and five days. "Aunt Helen or Grandma" as she was known to many came to Kansas in a covered wagon at the age of 16 years to the Saip homestead near Munden, Kan., and has resided in Republic county for the past 85 years.
She was united in marriage to Anton Houdek on January 26, 1878 and resided on a farm north of Cuba, Kan. To this union three children were born, Anna, Bessie and Charlie. Her husband preceded her in death and her son Charlie.
The church of her choice was the Methodist but she respected all Faiths. Her long devotion to the Little Eureka Sunday school that was founded in 1879 and knew no boundaries of faith color or language was typical of her life and brought forth golden harvest.
In 1944 she retired from the farm and moved to Belleville, where her neighbors and friends old and new made possible her happiest years.
She leaves to mourn their loss her daughters, Anna Kadlets and Bessie Lang, granddaughters, Elsie Kadlets Uhe, Helen Lang Bates, grandsons, John Lang and Jimmy Houdek whom she raised from one year of age, four great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
Funeral services, Wednesday, August 1, 1962 at 10 a.m. at the Methodist church of Belleville, Kan., conducted by Rev. J. Karl Jones and Rev. Joe Boyd, interment Tabor cemetery.
