Obituary: Adams County, Wisconsin: Mary POLIVKA ************************************************************************ Submitted by Joan Benner, May 2005 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ From the Friendship Reporter, October 30, 1919, Page 1 Mary MANN was born in Bohemia on Nov 16, 1871. She came to this country with her parents when three years of age. On August 27, 1889 she was united in marriage with John POLIVKA; to this union six sons and two daughters were born, Peter, John, Edward, George, Robert and Richard, Agnes and Mary. She was a kind and loving wife, mother and sister, and will be greatly missed. Those left to mourn their loss are the husband, six sons, two daughters and one sister. Mrs. POLIVKA's passing was the same way as her life had been lived-- peaceful and contented--with a firm belief in the reward that must come to those who live their life not alone for self but share their blessings with those whom they are called to associate. The sympathy of the community goes out to the husband and children, but they have the knowledge of a life well-lived, and accomplishment well done.
