Death Summons Came to Joseph Krainik Last Night
Leaves a Large Family
Born in Bohemia in 1845 and Came to Manitowoc County in 1857
Joseph Krainik died at his home, corner Main and Chicago streets, last night. He had been ill about four months and suffered from lung trouble. For three months he has been confined to his bed and although it has been known for some time that he could not survive, his death was unexpected. The deceased had been a resident of this city for eighteen years and was well and favorably known. Joseph Krainik was born in Bohemia, January 25, 1845, his parents being natives of the same country. In company with his parents emigrated to America in January 1857 and they settled on a farm in the town of; Kossuth, this county. His early advantages were limited and life was a struggle for an existence. At the age of 18 he was obliged to assist In the support of the family and worked for fifteen (15) cents a day to keep the wolf from the door. He was industrious and never complained. At times the struggle was very hard but he persevered and now leaves his family in comfortable circumstances. In February 1868 he was united in marriage to Miss Lizzie Hlava, of Kossuth, and they settled upon a farm of their own. Fifteen children were born to them, eight of whom, with his wife, survive him. In 1881 they removed to this city and shortly after locating here the family was afflicted with small pox. Three children died from the disease and Mr. and Mrs. Krainik and one child were the only ones of the large family, who escaped the plague. Since that time little of the eventful has characterized the life of the decedent, and he has been fairly prosperous. The children who survive him are Joseph, of Milwaukee, Mary, Anna, Emma,. Rosa, Vlasta, Libbie and Julia, of this city. Three brothers and two sister also survive him. They are Anton Krainik of Lodi, Wenzel and Stephen, of this city, and Mrs. Barta and Mrs. Spivacek,of this city. Deceased was a member of Bohemia Lodge, No. 182, C.S.P.S., and of the Slovanski Lipa and Sokol. He was a man respected by all who knew him and was a quiet reciting disposition. The funeral will be held from the late residence at 2 o'clock Friday and will be in charge of the C.S.P.S. society
