MRS. FRANK CIHAL PASSED AWAY

Mrs. Frank Cihal, living a few miles from Ulysses, died at her home Wednesday night, March 27, 1935, aged 51 years and 10 months.

She leaves her husband, and six children, Mrs. Mary Karpisek, Ulysses; Mrs. Anna Hofpar, Dwight; Christine and Emily at home; Frank of Ulysses and Joe of Dwight. There are two grandchildren and other relatives, also many friends who mourn her going.

Deceased's maiden name was Anna Trousil, and when quite young she was married to Mr. Charles [sic] Chloupek. Two children were born to them, one dying in infancy, the husband and father passing away a few years later.

She was again married, to Mr. Frank Cihal. Nine children were born to them, six of whom are living. Mrs. Cihal had been in very poor health for a long while, suffering from a complication of asthma, bronchial trouble and enlargement of the heart, but had been fairly well of late. Her death came quite suddenly.

Mrs. Cihal was well known in Ulysses and her deeds of kindness and helpfulness during illness and trouble will never be forgotten by those who knew her.

Her funeral services were held at the Catholic Church at Dwight on Saturday morning at ten o'clock. The seating capacity of the church was taxed and the floral offerings were many and beautiful. Her pastor, Rev. Father Bauer, officiated.

Interment was made in the St. Mary's cemetery near Dwight, when the book of her life was closed.
