The family lived in Bohemia from the time of their marriage in 1879 until 1888, when they came to America, coming direct to a farm northwest of St. Paul. Here Mrs. Svoboda helped with the pioneering farm activities of the family and and bore the labors incident to the rearing of the family. In 1915 they left the farm to younger hands and moved into St. Paul where Mr. and Mrs Svoboda made their home until the husband's death in October. Since that time Mrs. Svoboda had made her home with her son, Joseph and his family.
Mrs. Svoboda was a conscienctious, hard working person, a splendid mother to her family and a dutiful wife. She was considerate of her friends and neighbors and always tried to do her part.
Those left to mourn her passing are the following children: Miss Anna Svoboda of Norfolk, Mrs. Anita Lowman of Seattle, Wash., Miss Mary Boyd of Seattle, and Joseph Svoboda of St. Paul. There are 14 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the Keating Mortuary on Monday afternoon, with the Rev. Wm. J. Primrose in charge of the services. Mrs. S. W. Oleson and Mrs. W. J. Barnes sang "Abide with Me" "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and "Lord I'm Coming Home." Mrs.Howard Haggstrom accompanied on the piano. Pallbearers were Joseph Kotik, James J. Shalda, Fred F.
