Mr. and Mrs. Hunzeker, Peru, Killed In Accident

Former Pawnee County Resident Fatally Injured In Auto Accident Near Nebraska City Thursday.

Funeral services were held January 13, 1947 at the Methodist Church of Peru and in Pawnee City, conducted by Rev. Nullman, for Mr. and Mrs. Clyde F. Hunzeker,Sr., who passed away suddenly following an automobile accident, January 9. It occurred four miles south of Plattsmouth, Nebraska. They were on their way to attend the convention of the DeKalb Association corn growing contest to be held at Des Moines, Iowa.

Clyde F. Hunzeker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hunzeker, was born in Pawnee County, Nebraska, July 17, 1890 and his wife Lily J. Hunzeker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Branek was born in Pawnee County, Nebraska, January 30, 1890. Mr. Hunzeker was 56 years, 3 months and 24 days old. Mrs. Hunzeker was 56 years, 11 months and 9 days old.

On December 20, 1911, Clyde Hunzeker and Lily Branek were united in marriage in Pawnee City, Nebraska. To this union five children were born: Lorain W., Clyde Jr., both of Peru; Hubert L. of Spring Grove, Minn. Two children preceded them in death: Emma Leona, who passed away at the age of three, and one son, who died in infancy. Also two grandchildren, Sammy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lorain Hunzeker, and Mary daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Hunzeker.

Other survivors are: one brother and six sisters of Lily Hunzeker, Joseph J. Branek, Parma, Ore.; Mrs. John Stiener, Parma, Ore.; Mrs. Joe Rice, Weeping Water, Nebr.; Mrs. Frank Sheperdson, S. Dak.; Mrs. Marvin Kent, Mrs. Orval Johnson, her twin sister, Mrs. Charles Binder and her step-father, Joe Morse, all of Table Rock.

Those surviving Clyde Hunzeker are two sister, Mrs. Helen Johnson, Pawnee City; and Mrs. Lucy Woerding, Thermopolis, Wyo.; also his step-mother, Mrs. Ora Hunzeker, Denver.

The Hunzekers came to Nemaha County in 1935. Their farming in this county has been very successful and they are well known here as well as through out the state. Mr. Hunzeker, for the past two years, has won the DeKalb Agriculture Association corn growing championship for Nebraska. They were always a devoted father and mother and will be greatly missed by their sons and families, relatives and hosts of friends. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hunzeker were members of the Baptist Church of Pawnee City.

As a final tribute to his parents Hubert wrote the following poem:

So long Mom- So long Dad.
We hate to see you go.
It seemed so wrong, that it happened this way,
But our Lord wished it so.
We miss you so much- your gentle touch,
The sunshine you spread everywhere.
Our hearts will be open, remembering you always.
In your new home up there.
May your trip be a pleasant one,
Your new life happy, not sad,
So on with the good work you started down here.
Good by Mom- Good by Dad.
