Mathias Kopet


Mathias Kopet an old and respected resident of this place, passed away at his
home in this city at five o'clock last Saturday evening, after an illness of
several weeks, the cause of his death being general debility [sic] and
infirmities due to his advanced age. At the time of his death the deceased was
seventy-seven years of age.


The deceased was born in Bohemia, Austria, and came to this country forty-two
years ago taking up his residence on a farm about seven miles southeast of this
city where he followed the occupation of farming until about eight years ago
when he moved to this city with his wife, where he has since lived in retirement.


The late Mathias Kopet was a hard-working frugal man, who enjoyed the respect
and confidence of a large concourse of friends. He was a good father a kind
husband and above all an accomodating neighbor, and his death removes from this
community one of the best known of the early pioneers. He was also a firm
believer of the Roman Catholic faith, and in his last hours was strengthened by
its holy rites.


He leaves to mourn his sad demise two sons, Thomas and James, and one daughter,
Mrs. Jacob Shirek [sic], and his sorrowing widow, all who have the sympathy of
the community in their hour of sorrow.


The funeral services were held from the Catholic church in this city at ten
o'clock last Monday forenoon, Rev. Father Polasek officiating and the interment
was made in the family lot in Calvary cemetery.


The Messenger extends sympathy to the relatives.
