THE ANGEL OF DEATH
Mrs. Anna Zeman Answered the Call of the Grim Reaper At an Early Hour This Morning
DECEASED SUFFERED LONG
Final Summons Came as a Messenger of Relief—Funeral will Be Held Saturday at St.
Boniface Church.
Mrs. Anna Zeman died at her home, cor. of Buffalo and Main streets at an early hour
this morning. For two years she has suffered from the effects of a cancer and death
came as a welcome messenger of relief. In Sept. 1897, upon the advice of her
physicians she consented to have an operation performed and went to Chicago for that
purpose. The result was not entirely satisfactory and although the operation afforded
temporary relief, the old trouble returned and finally culminated in her death. For
the past few weeks the spark of life has burned fitfully, at times growing bright
only to flicker and grow dim. One consolation to the bereaved friends is that she
retained her faculties to the last and shortly before she passed away, surrounded by
her loved ones, she calmly spoke a few loving words of farewell and gave her blessing
to those she was so soon to leave.
Mrs. Zeman was a woman of many excellent traits of character, loved and respected by
all with whom she came in contact. To her children she was a kind and loving mother,
to her husband a true helpmate in every sense of the word and by her friend she was
recognized as a woman of superior qualities. The sympathy of the whole community will
be extended to the family in their hour of sorrow.
Anna Vanek (Zeman) was born at Prague, Bohemia, May 15, 1842 and came to this country
in company with her parents when but a child. They removed to Manitowoc county in 1854.
In February 1868 she was married to the husband who survives her and in 1878 they moved
to this city where they have since resided. Besides the husband, six children are left
to mourn her demise. They are Mrs. Mary Franz, Anna, Frank, Charles, Emil and Eddie.
The funeral will be held from St. Boniface church Saturday morning at nine o’clock.
