MARGARET (EWEN) PROCHAZKA
DEATH COMES TO CLOSE A USEFUL LIFE
Mrs. Prochazka Was Last Survivor of Ewen Family
Death came to Mrs. Margaret Prochazka, pioneer resident of the city
and the last surviving member of her family-the Ewens-at her home on
N. Ninth street at 7:30 this morning, the announcement bringing sorrow
to many friends. Mrs. Prochazka had not been in robust health for some
time, never having recovered from effects of an accident in which she
suffered a fracture of her hip four years ago but up to ten days ago
she had not been seriously ill. During the past week she had failed
rapidly and death was not unexpected by the family.
Funeral services will be held Monday morning at 9 from Sacred Heart
church, the Rev. W.J. Luby officiating, and burial will be at Evergreen
cemetery.
Born in County
Mrs. Prochazka was born at Francis Creek, November 10, 1852, being 71
years of age at her death. When a girl of thirteen she came to the city
and made her home with her brother Stanley Ewen until her marriage to
Mr. Prochazka in 1882, Mrs. Prochazka having attended the local schools.
Mr. Prochazka preceded her in death in 1908 and she is survived by one
daughter, Miss Clara and a step daughter, Miss Addie Prochazka. One son
Henry Prochazka met death in an accident two years ago, and the shock and
sorrow undermined the health of Mrs. Prochazka greatly. Another child
died in infancy.
Mrs. Prochazka was one of the organizers of the St. Boniface Ladies' Aid
society, thirty-five years ago and was active in social affairs of the
church up to the time of her accident a few years ago.
Life An Inspiration
In reviewing the life of the deceased one cannot help but acknowledge the
many attributes of character which so endeared her to all who knew her. Up
to the very last week of her death she remained a participant in her church
society participating in a semi-social organization, where a few kindred
spirits met of an afternoon and spent the time in social intercourse. This
was her only recreation in the past year since the injury in a fall deprived
her of more active part.
Personally her character was inspirational, cheerful and helpful and the
influence of her quiet unassuming life will be more telling for good than
that of many a person whose name is more widely known.
Of her it can truly be said she rounded out a life time as God who designed
her place on this earth, had ordained.

SOCIETY WILL ATTEND BURIAL AS A BODY
St. Ann's society of St. Boniface church of which she was one of the founders,
will attend the funeral of the late Mrs. Margaret Prochazka in a body at Sacred
Heart church Monday morning. The services will be conducted at 9 and burial
will be at Evergreen.
Members of the society are older women of the congregation, the organization
having been established many years ago. During late years the society has held
its meetings at the home of its members and has frequently met with Mrs.
Prochazka who up to her last illness was always greatly interested in the
organization.
