In the twilight hours of Thursday, January 11, 1934 another aged citizen crossed suddenly into the place prepared for those who die in the Lord. Her going was peaceful and quiet but a shock to her family.
Mrs. Fischnar was born at Roznov, Czechoslovakia on February 4, 1854. Her maiden name was Veronicka Baros. She came to America in 1872 settling in Austin County and it was here that she married on October 18, 1875. After completing 22 years of residence there, 22 years were spent in Gonzales County and the last 18 years in the town of Shiner. She and Mr. Fischnar celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on October 26, 1926, he passing away a month later on November 30, 1926.
Surviving are four daughters and two sons as follows; Mrs. Charles Vackar of Gonzales; Mrs. R. E. Mittanck and Mrs. J. W. Spradley of San Benito and Mrs. E. J. Pohler, Miss Agnes Fischnar and Arthur and Eddie Fischnar of Shiner, thirteen grandchildren and two great- grandchildren. Also surviving are the following sisters and brothers; Mrs. John Vajkunda of Oregon, Mrs. Anna Kosharek of Shiner, John Baros of Westhoff, Fred of Floresfille, Frank and Florian of Shiner.
Saturday at 9:00 a.m. from the family home, thence to the Catholic Church and then to the Catholic Cemetery. Father Netardus conducted all religious services. Mrs. Fischnar was a member of St. Ann's Society and the Virgin Society of the Catholic Church, who attended in a body and sang "Nearer My God to Thee" in Bohemian in the church. The funeral was largely attended and the floral offerings very beautiful. The pallbearers were H.V. Bozka, Ben Scharer, Anton Spann, B. J. Novak, W. J. Jaecek and Frank Baros Jr.
Mrs. Fischnar had been slightly nauseated during the day but was up and about as active as usual. Just before dark, her faithful and devoted daughter Miss Agnes suggested that they call the Dr. to relieve her, as she might feel worse during the night. To this she readily agreed. Just after this she called for a glass of water and swooned away before the physician arrived and never railed. She had been interested in the celebration of her 80th birthday on Feb. 14, the occasion being planed as a family reunion. She and her daughter, Miss Agnes, lived alone.
Grandmother Fischnar was ready to go, she often spoke of her desire "to cross over and rest in the shade of the trees." The Gazette joins the numerous friends of the family in extending deep and sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
