Verdigre Citizen – October 3, 1929
Anton Dusek
The subject of this sketch, Anton Dusek, was born in Milesko [Milevsko], Tabor, Bohemia, on Dec 13, 1845, and passed away on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1929 after a short illness with heart trouble, death coming to him at the home of his daughter Mrs. John H. Tomek, in this city. He was 83 years, 9 months and 12 days old at the time of his demise.
When he came of age in 1846 he was conscripted into the Russian army and served his time in that capacity. In 1871, he came to America, first locating in Chicago, where he worked in a planing mill for six years.
He was united in marriage with Cecelia Hubka in 1876 and to this union four children were born – one daughter and three sons, one of the sons dying in infancy. He came west in 1877 and settled on a county homestead a few miles southwest of Verdigre. Here the young couple started their western life in a sod house, or “soddy” as the old-timers called it. Later on this was replaced by a log house and, still later, he hauled lumber from Yankton, South Dakota, seventy miles away, and erected a frame dwelling.
Like all those hardy souls who pioneered this section of the state, Mr. and Mrs. Dusek met with the trials and adversities that are inseparable from the subduing of a wild and unsettled country. The drouths, the grasshoppers and other tribulations of Pioneer days failed to shake their faith in the country of their resolution to aid in making the wild wilderness a fertile and prosperous land of pleasant homes and prosperous, happy people. And he lived to see a realization of his hopes and aspirations.
Thirty-two years ago his loving and faithful wife was called to her reward but he continued to make his home on the farm until the time of his demise. On Monday of last week, he came to the home of his daughter Mrs. Tomek, here in Verdigre, and on Wednesday he answered the final summons as noted above.
Mr. Dusek had been a member of the Western Catholic Union for over forty years and pallbearers at the funeral were members of the order: Joseph Ondracek, John Herout, John Holan, Frank Hanzlik, Joseph Jaros and Joseph Frohner.
He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. John H. Tomek of Verdigre and Stanley whose present address is unknown; Also one sister, Mrs. Wenzel Sukup of Creighton.
Funeral services were held from the St. Wenceslaus Catholic church on Friday of last week at 10:00 o’clock a.m. conducted by Father Jos. Bata and attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. There were many beautiful floral tributes. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery, his mortal remains being laid to rest beside those of his wife who pass away 32 years ago.
The Citizen joins with the many friends of the family in extending sincere sympathy and condolence those who mourn the passing of the good man.
