___________

The death of Mrs. Jos. Blahnik of this city occurred Saturday evening of last week at nine o'clock, at her home in this city on Fourth street. She had been ill for some time and in spite of all that could be done for her her condition grew weaker from day to day.
Mrs. Jos. Blahnik, nee Selner, was born in Klanc, Bohemia, in the year 1858. In the year 1882 she came to this country and took up her home with her brother, Adam Selner, in the town of Montpelier. A year later she was married to Jos. Blahnik and they settled on a farm in the town of Ahnapee. The couple continued active farm work until about three years ago when they retired and moved to this city, which has been their home since.
Besides her husband, deceased is survived by five daughters, viz: Mrs. John Bangor, of Green Bay; Mrs. Joseph Tauschek of Norway, Mich.; and the Misses Frannie, Mollie and Annia, and three sons, Joseph of Alaska, Anton of Kewaunee and Adolph, whose present whereabouts are not known.
The funeral was held Tuesday morning from the house of Rev. Wm, Kraemer officiating, and interment was made in the Catholic cemetery. Members of the K. of C. acted as pall bearers, Mr. Blahnik being a member of that organization.
