DEATH OF MR. EDMUND HERZIK.
Mr. Edmund Herzik died at his home in Engle on Tuesday, July 12th, 1904 at 4 p. m. The deceased was born at High Hill, Fayette county, Texas, on November 3rd, 1876. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Herzik, sr. At the age of 18 he attended the St. Louis College at San Antonio, and at the age of 19 he began teaching the Dubina school at Dubina, where he taught for three terms. In the year of 1899 he and his brother, Alfonse, started a lumber business. In 1900 he was elected as teacher and principal of the Engle school which he held for three terms, and in the meantime was connected as partner in the lumber business, which he purchased from his brother this year, and during this short time he conducted a successful lumber business up to his death.
Mr. Edmund Herzik was married to Miss Minnie Herder of Weimar, Texas, on November 19th, 1901, and he is survived by a wife and one little girl, nine brothers and two sisters, to whom the hearts of our people go out to in sympathy. His death was caused by heart failure and was very sudden. His remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery at Schulenburg under the auspices of the local lodges, Fruatisek [sic] Polacky No. 21, S. P. J. S. T., and Engle Woodmen of the World, both of which he was a valued and worthy member. He was also a member of the Asveta Theatre Company, of which he was one of the first organizers. The club loses an honorable and respectable member and actor. The entire community has been stricken with grief. All day Tuesday and Wednesday, until the coffin lid hid forever from earthly sight the earnest face of the dead man, men, women and children in all the walks of life filed into the room where lay his remains, to look for the last time upon the face they knew as a child and loved and honored as a man.
The funeral, which took place Wednesday afternoon, was one of the largest ever before witnessed in our little city. The services were conducted under the auspices of the S. P. J. S. T. and Engle Woodmen and Rev. Baumfalk of Freyburg. The floral decorations were numerous being offerings from loving friends in all walks of life. As the closing remarks of Rev. Baumfalk were made and the heart boken [sic] widow’s eyes were moistened with tears, friends and relatives gazed on the grave as it was covered with the choicest flowers of the season.
The writer loses a bosom friend and schoolmate, and his family and friends a warm hearted and lovable companion, one whose place cannot be easily filled, for he possessed a genial disposition and a kindness of heart that shed a halo of sunshine upon all around him. The effect of such a loss is better imagined than described for the pangs of sorrow are great. The writer sympathizes deeply with the young widow, but is somewhat consoled in the belief that he is now in that sweet sleep where trouble comes to no one, and where trouble his spirit will dwell in happiness.
