   The married life of Frank and Anna Ostry was a full and rewarding one. They lived long enough to celebrate their sixtieth Wedding Anniversary. Frank died August 22, 1972 and Anna died July 23, 1974. They are buried in St. John's Cemetery in Prague.

   Frantisek (Frank) Ostry, born in 1814, and his wife, Appolena Maly, born in 1810, came to this country from Bohemia in 1872.

   Their children were: Frank Ostry, Antonia Ostry (Mrs. Frank Vlcan), Joseph Ostry, and Jacob Ostry.

   The elder Ostrys lived with their son, Frank Ostry, and family, about one mile west of Prague, Nebr., and with their daughter and son-in-law, Antonia and Frank Vlcan, one-half mile south of the Ostrys.

   They both passed away in January, 1885, about a week apart. John Ostry, their grandson, born on Jan. 24, 1885, was baptized after the funeral of his grandmother when the priest came to anoint his grandfather. They are buried in SS. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Cemetery at Plasi, near Prague, Nebr. Submitted by Jerome and Mary Ann Ostry

   I was born in Prague, Neb. on Oct. 13, 1942, the youngest of eight children, having six sisters and one brother. I attended Prague Public School for two years, St. John's Catholic School through eighth grade, and graduated from Prague High School in 1960 at the age of 17. I worked out for over a year and then enlisted in the Neb. Air National Guard at the age of 19. After a tour of training in Texas, since a farm was bought for my brother and his family near Bruno, Neb., I began farming the farm settled by my grandparents, Frank and Marie Ostry, renting this farm from my parents, Louis and Lydia (Humlicek) Ostry.

   In May, 1970, the ownership of this farm was transferred to me by my parents. Since my parents desired to remain on the farm, construction of a new house began later on that year on the same farm. On Oct. 3, 1970, I married Mary Ann Rerucha of Bruno, the daughter of Henry and Emma (Yindrick) Rerucha at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Bruno. Rev. Stanley Schieffer officiated.

   Mary Ann was born in Wahoo, raised on a farm four miles south of Bruno, attended School Dist. #61 through eighth grade and graduated from David City High School, David City, Neb. in 1957. She worked at First National Bank in David City until we were married.

   Our son, Mark Louis, was born on July 30, 1972, and is now attending Prague Public School.

   In 1979, we were awarded the Pioneer Farm Family Award from the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben for the farm owned by the same family for 100 years or more.

   Along with farming, I am an insurance agent for Farmers Mutual Insurance of Saunders County and secretary of the Farmers Coop Elevator Board at Prague.

   Joseph was one of six sons and five daughters born to Frantisek (Frank) Ostry (1846-1916) and Marie Schultz Ostry (1851-1934). He and his twin brother, Louis, were born June 16, 1891.

   Their father, a homesteader in Saunders County, come to the United States from Bohemia. According to Margie Sobotka's book "Nebraska, Kansas Czech Settlers, 1891-1895," Frank gave his birthplace as County Jihlava; Town, Trebic; Smrky Village.

Joseph M. Ostry

   Joseph enjoyed life on the farm. In his later years, he told many farm life anecdotes to his daughter. Joseph was a good student in school, although like most boys, his behavior was sometimes less than perfect. One day Joseph had done something naughty at school and was made to stand in the corner. He was there a long time. He happened to have with him a sharp object, a pocket knife he had received at Christmas. The knife did not stay in his pocket. It found its way into little Joe's hand and made a small hole in the corner larger and deeper. By the time Joseph was excused from the corner, the hole extended through the schoolhouse wall to the outside. It was family custom that when the Ostry children did not behave at school there was also punishment at home. Joseph knew this and was quite afraid. He usually behaved in school. Naturally, father was told. Father looked at Joseph and listened to the story of the hole that went clear through the schoolhouse wall. He looked again at his quiet little son -- and burst out laughing!

   Joseph became a teacher. He spoke proudly of having begun his career in a one-room school. He is listed in Rose Rosicky's book, A History of Czechs in Nebraska, as a rural school teacher in Dodge County.

   Joseph continued to teach, and also to learn. He attended the University of Nebraska, Fremont College, The University of Colorado, DePaul University Law School, Hamilton College of Law, and Georgetown University School of Law. He held more than one Bachelor's Degree and a Master of Arts Degree.

   During World War I, Joseph served as Sergeant-Interpreter to General Jesse McCarter, commander of the 11th division.

   Upon his release from the Army, he accepted a position with the State Department. While serving as confidential secretary to Secretary of State Lansing, Joseph Ostry typewrote the entire Versailles Treaty as it was received by cable at the State Department, a job that required 16 hours since the message was continually revised during transmission. This feat was featured in an article in the Washington Star on September 26, 1920. He was qualified for this task because of his mastery of speed in typing and shorthand.

   In 1920, he became superintendent of schools in Dodge, Nebraska.

   On his birthday in 1928, Joseph married Mildred Emily Stecher. Mildred was a native of Butler County, Nebraska. The couple moved to California where Joseph, who wished to work more closely with children, taught, and was head of the commercial department at the Calexico, California High School. He developed, copyrighted, and taught his own shorthand system.

   A student trained by Mr. Ostry was considered well-trained in Calexico, and to the surrounding communities.

   His only child, Dorothy Jean, was born in Calexico.

   Joseph taught for 24 years in Calexico, working until within a few weeks of his death, October 21, 1952, of a brain tumor. He was survived by his wife, Mildred, and daughter, Dorothy Ostry Love.

   Joseph was a kind, compassionate man. He was a wonderful father. It was not until a visit to Calexico, many years after his death, that it became apparent how many other lives he had touched, guided, and nurtured through his teachings. Dorothy Jean Ostry Love

   Louis C. Ostry, son of Frank and Marie (Schultz) Ostry, and his twin brother, Joseph, were born on June 16, 1891, near Prague, Neb. He married Lydia Humlicek, daughter of Frank and Frantiska (Codr) Humlicek, on Jan. 30, 1923, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church at Cedar Hill.

   They had eight children: Marie (Mrs. Joseph Havlovic); Irene (Mrs. Emil Snitily), deceased; Angela (Mrs. Frank E. Sousek, Jr.); Edith (Mrs. Edward Sousek); Georgia; Loretta (Mrs. Leonard Snitily); Herman (married Donna Mach); and Jerome (married Mary Ann Rerucha).

   I, Diane, was born to Pvt. and Mrs. Don and Bonita Zetocha Arney on Aug. 23, 1951 at the Fort Leonard Wood Base Hospital in Missouri.

   When I was three months old, my father was discharged and we returned to Nebraska.

   I entered Kindergarten in Gardena Elementary School, Gardena, California, a vicinity of Los Angeles. I returned with my parents to Nebraska and received my second grade schooling in Mead Elementary and finished my formal education in the Wahoo Public Schools. I graduated from Wahoo High School with the class of 1969.

   I found employment at Western Electric as a wireman. The winter drives on the icy roads, a distance of 40 miles to work, was an experience I'll never forget. The summer drives were refreshing and enjoyable. I continued to work there even after my marriage which added another 7 miles to my drive. I took a voluntary lay-off in order to have our daughter, Lisa.

   Marvin is the son of Ray and Gladys Brecka Ourada of Prague, Nebraska. He was born on Dec. 11, 1949, the first child of a family of six, namely -- Marvin, Patricia Poledna, Sharon, Diane Prochaska, Larry and Carol.

Marvin, Diane and Lisa Ourada

   His education began in a rural school. He entered Neumann Bishop Central High School as a freshman and graduated with the class of 1968.

   We were married on May 16, 1970. We set up housekeeping in Weston as Marvin was employed at the Weston Grain Co. until one wintry January night in 1972, with the temperature hovering around 33 below zero, the elevator burned to the ground. He is presently employed with the Farmers Union Co-Op Oil Ass'n of Wahoo.

   In the year of 1976 on April 18th, our daughter, Lisa, was born and is presently attending school in Weston Public School.

   My main hobby is sewing clothes for Lisa and myself. I do some ceramics but haven't the place to display and enjoy them.

   We enjoy fishing in the summer and snowmobiling in winter. I remain home when Marvin and my father or his brother decide to go hunting for deer, duck, pheasant or rabbit. Even the lonely coyote will have them packing their hunting gear.

   Our first automobile trip was taken with Marvin's parents and Grandma Brecka. It was a very scenic drive through Minnesota and into Canada. We vacationed with my parents and brothers, Donnie and Mike, in the Black Hills of South Dakota and through the Bad Lands.

   My story would not be complete without mentioning my house dog, "Sugar," who managed to get her share of our attention. Sugar was killed by accident on Oct. 27, 1982 outside our home.

   I belong to the American Legion Auxiliary and am employed at Hinky-Dinky in Wahoo.

   Marvin is a twelve-year member of the Weston Fire Department.

   We both are members of St. John's Catholic Church. Submitted by Diane Arney Ourada

   Mr. and Mrs. John Pabian were early settlers in Omaha before becoming one of the early pioneer families of Prague, Nebraska.

   John Pabian was born in Koute Domazlice, Bohemia on February 7, 1859. He learned the machinist and locksmith trades in Koute and, when he was only sixteen years of age, he operated a steam engine in a saw mill in Bavaria. With his parents, he emigrated to America and arrived in Saunders County where, for a short time, they stayed with an uncle who lived west of Cedar Hill. From there he moved with his parents to Omaha where he was employed at the Omaha Smelters, drilling gold bullion bars. Because of his exceptional skill as a machinist and iron worker, he was made foreman at Paxton Vierling Iron Works.

   In 1880, he was married to Barbara Bartos of Omaha and, in 1894, with their family, they moved to Prague to make their home and establish a machine shop and blacksmithing business. They were the parents of six sons -- Joe, Rudolf, Milo, John, Bohumil (Bob), and Otto; and three daughters -- Hedvika (Mrs. Frank Mach of Prague and Omaha), Albina (Mrs. Tom McGinn of Colon and Morse Bluff) and Alice (Mrs. Ed Wesely of Cedar Bluffs and Prague).

   In his Prague machine shop, John and most of his sons were instrumental in building one of the first antique cars -- The Pabian -- which is now in possession of an outstate (presumably Sweden) car collector and is displayed in various antique car exhibits.

   We, the grandchildren of John and Barbara Pabian, respect the hardships and endurance of their pioneer life; we cherish their memory.

   Granddaughters are: Marie McGinn Purdy, Council Bluffs, Ia.; Frances Pabian Stanek, David City, Neb.; Clara Mach Kadlecek and Matilda Pabian Holba of Omaha.

   Grandsons are: Frank Pabian, Omaha; Thomas McGinn, Bellevue, Neb.; Rolland McGinn, Calif.; Edward Wesely, Kansas City, Mo., and Roger and Howell Pabian, Lincoln.

   Grandchildren now deceased are: Raymond Pabian and Milo Pabian of Prague; John Pabian, Alice Pabian Ziskovsky of Omaha; and Dr. Howard Wesely of Modesto, Calif. A grandson, Bobby Pabian (son of Bob and Blanche), passed away at the early age of twelve years.

   Dennis Pacal, son of Elmer and Mildred Novak Pacal, was born in Fremont, Nebraska on June 1, 1949. He was a healthy child but had overcome all the school diseases such as measles, mumps, and so forth, before he was five years of age. He has one sister, Lois, who is older than he. Therefore, she brought these home. They lived in Malmo, Nebraska, just across the street from School District 36. When he was able to walk, he spent a lot of time playing on the school ground during the recess periods. Lois was embarrassed with him because he would try to tell the school superintendent how to coach his baseball games. He enjoyed going to his Uncle Frank's farm during harvest and hay baling

time. He attended grade school in Malmo and then Wahoo High School. Upon graduating, he had attained a perfect attendance record for all his years in school. He received a pretty, used SS Chevrolet car for graduation from his parents. Everyone in the community knows that he enjoyed this car very much.

   Dennis was a member of the Malmo Hi-Lites 4-H Club. He was awarded citations for Junior Showmanship and Senior Showmanship in his swine projects. In his last year, 1967, he was awarded citations for his Grand Reserve Champion market hog.

   He worked, helping on farms, and for the Bachand Grain Company in Malmo, until he, with his friend, Robert Proskovec, enlisted in the Navy in 1969. After receiving basic training, he entered the Vietnam conflict, also being stationed at Subic Bay, the international date line, and other surrounding war areas.

   Upon his discharge, Dennis found employment in California for about a year and returned home. Then he decided to find employment in Omaha and, upon doing so, lived with his sister and brother-in-law, Howard Hynek and family. This was indeed an adventure for the whole family! Dennis worked at Wilson's Packing House and in a body shop in South Omaha. Then he found work as a cement finisher.

   In May, 1979, Dennis and I, Diane Graf Pacal, daughter of Al and Virginia Graf, were married at Wheeler Presbyterian Church in Omaha. I was born in Omaha and have one sister and one brother, who live here presently. My father passed away in May of 1979. I miss him very much. I attended grade school at St. Cecilia's School in Omaha. Then I attended Technical College and taught in a day care center in Council Bluffs for ten years. On May 23, 1982, our son was born prematurely. Since he was due to arrive in August, he had to remain at Nebraska Methodist Hospital for one month. He had to be monitored and have special care. I had to quit my position, because I wanted to be near him and watch his progress. This was indeed a physical strain for all of us, but fortunately he is doing well. Now, at the age of 8 months, he weighs 16 lbs. and is twenty-seven inches long. His name is Nicholas Michael. Incidentally, his first tooth came through in January, 1983.

   Dennis and I enjoy camping and fishing. We try our talents at having a green thumb with gardening. Of course, canning and freezing goes along with this, as I found in this experience. This was new to me as a city girl. With the help of Dennis' mother, I am doing quite well. Dennis and his dad enjoy watching me make a mess working with this project.

   At present, I baby-sit with children in our home during the day, which helps with some of the expenses, and also enables me to be home with our baby and watch him grow.

   Dennis is employed at Offut Air Force Base during the winter months and is still a cement finisher during the summer. Submitted by Diane Graf Pacal

   Elmer Pacal, son of Joe and Anastasia Tomsicek Pacal, is one of 8 children born on a farm near Prague, Nebraska. His parents and grandparents were born in Austria.

   I, Mildred Novak Pacal, daughter of Louis and Frances Pallas Novak, am one of 8 children, born on a farm near Brainard, Nebraska. My parents were also born in this area. My grandparents came from Czechoslovakia. Elmer and I were married in June, 1939 and raised two children: Lois Hynek and Dennis Pacal, both married and living in Omaha. We have 5 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. They are the light of our lives.

   We lived through the difficult years of the thirties, being confronted with hail storms and the grasshopper plague. Hog cholera spread thru the region. Since pork was the only source of meat, there was very little. Chickens, ducks, and geese were raised to trade for groceries, such as, sugar, coffee, and yeast. Money left over from the purchase was returned in tokens from Potadle Store in Malmo. Elmer's parents traded in Prague at Vlasak Brothers. Wheat was taken to Wright Bros. Mill in Brainard, where it was exchanged for Big 5 Flour and Cream of Wheat. We kids were allowed to take turns and make the trip with our father.

Elmer and Mildred Pacal

   Both of our families had about the same way of life. As children, we had a lot of fun playing and working together. The horse-drawn sleigh rides were the highlight of the winter fun. We made trips to church, including the traditional Christmas Eve Sunday School program, which, to this day is still being held. We had to bundle up in feather quilts and knitted caps and gloves made by our mother.

   We attended School District 97, and walked most every day, 2 miles one way. Elmer attended school in District 24. After school was out, we attended Bible school for one week, which was taught in the Czech language. On Sunday, we gave our program and had a picnic dinner.

   The rest of the summer was spent herding cattle along the road sides. We helped with the gardening, hoping to raise vegetables for winter. Elmer had to help his brothers with the field work at an early age, since his father got disabled in a farm accident. Some wheat and oats were raised so we kids all had to shock the grain, which was later threshed by a machine owned by the neighborhood farmers. This was a busy time, for our mothers especially, planning the meals for morning lunch, dinner, afternoon lunch and supper. Fresh baking and preparing fresh chicken for a special dish was a daily must. Since there was no refrigeration, cold water was carried from the well for cooling and the entire use in the house. No plumbing! Some things were kept in the cave.

   World War II came. My two brothers enlisted into the armed forces a year prior to the outbreak. Both were in the Battle of the Bulge. We thank God for their safe return.

   At home, things changed. Boys were in the service; there was more land to farm. The rains came, crops were abundant. Elmer borrowed $700 from our neighbor and dear friend, Frank Roslund, to buy a John Deere tractor. Incidentally, Frank Roslund was a pianist and wanted to hear Paderewski in concert at the Paramount theatre in Omaha. He was not familiar with city driving and therefore asked Elmer to drive his car, which was new. He bought tickets for us and we attended, having to sit on stage not 6 feet away from the performance, due to limited seating because of the crowd.

   We and our daughter left the farm in 1945 and moved to Malmo. Our son was born in 1949. Elmer went to work at the Mead Ordnance Plant for 2 years, then for Bohumil Dvorak Trucking and Shelling for 7 years. Then he was employed at the Bachand Grain Co. in Malmo until his retirement in 1981, having worked there for 26 years. I worked at the County ASC Office for about a year and then was employed at the Security Home Bank in Malmo. I am on my 23rd year at this time. We built a new home in 1963.

   We are both members of the Czech Presbyterian Church where I taught Sunday School, Bible School and assisted in musical activities. I am a member of the adult choir. Submitted by Mildred Pacal

   Joseph Pacal was born in Austria and carne to America with his parents when he was eight years old. He had one brother and four sisters. He married Anastasia Tomsicek in 1901. She was born in Moravia, Czechoslovakia and came here with her parents when she was about three years old on May 25, 1878. Deportation was from Bremen on the SS Baltimore. There is more information on the ship manifest of the passengers' arrival records at the U.S. Archives in Washington, D.C. Due to lack of time, the records were not obtained. During the transportation of so many people wanting to get to America, there was not always room available for children. Therefore, they were put in wooden barrels with loose-fitted lids until the ship was far out into the sea. Then it was too far to return them.

The Joseph Pacal Family. Back Row, L. to R: Frank Pacal, Joe, the father, Anastasia, the mother, Caroline Sedlacek, Tillie Mach; Front Row: Albin, Elmer, Amollie, Marie and Stella.

   Joseph's parents and family resided on a farm in Butler County. He attended grade school in District 94. Anastasia and her family settled on a farm near Weston, Nebraska. She attended grade school in District 83. She had one sister and one brother, three step-sisters and 2 step-brothers. Joseph and Anastasia were married in the Plasi Catholic Church. Their attendants were Joe Tomsicek and Betty Hlavka. His parents moved to Prague, Nebraska and they lived on the home place.

   To this family were born Caroline Sedlacek, now in David City; Tillie Mach in Omaha; and Frank, who was married to Anne Gilbert in 1957, and still resides on this farm. Stella Velinsky lives in Colon. Albin lived in Schuyler, and passed away in 1981. Mollie Kavan passed away in 1946 at the age of thirty-two. Marie Plunkett passed away in 1980. Her home was in Wahoo. Elmer and his wife, Mildred, live in Malmo.

   Joe and Anastasia lived on this farm until 1917, when they purchased a farm two miles south and one mile and three-fourths west of Malmo. Caroline attended school in District 94 and the rest of the children in District 24. They lived through the difficult times and managed as best they could to provide for their family. Travel was with horses and buggy or wagon. Seemed like the hog market was pretty good in 1920 and the price of corn soared up to $1.20 a bushel. They decided to purchase a 1920 Model T Ford car. They were pleased with the timing of the market on this purchase because shortly after that the prices all dropped. The car cost $720. Anastasia passed away in 1935. The rest of the family lived here until they established homes of their own.

   In 1949, Frank, Albin and their father purchased a home in Wahoo. Charles and Stella Velinsky farmed this place for two years. Their father passed away in 1950. The following year, Frank returned to the farm, and, shortly after that, was married. Frank and Anne bought a home in Weston and plan to move there in the near future. Submitted by Mildred Pacal
