On October 31, 1914, he was united in marriage with Libbie Marsicek at Belleville, and to this union were born two daughters. They made their home on a farm southeast of Narka, where he was happily engaged in his chosen occupation.

Ernie as his friends called him, was known for his integrity, loyalty, devotion to family and to God, and for his unselfishness in giving of his time and effort to aid others. He took great pride in his work and never failed to complete a task to prefection. He was always ready with a quick smile and a quiet word of encouragement to the boys and girls who passed through the halls of Narka High on their way to face the task ahead of them. He was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather. He will be missed by all those near him.
He leaves behind, his loving wife, Libbie, two daughters, Lena Elaine Sullivan and husband Lloyd of Pocatello, Ida., Marjorie Marie Purdy and husband, Elmer of Crete, Neb.; three sisters, Emma Vocasek of Narka, Elsie Chudly of Milligan, Neb., and Blazena Trecek of Cuba; four grandsons, one great-granddaughter, and many other relatives and friends.
