JOSEPH DVORAK JR.
(1908 - 1933)
Joseph Dvorsak (sic), Kossuth, Found Dead In Barn
RELATIVES OF BOY SHOCKED AT HIS DEATH
Had Money In Bank, Owned His Farm; Normal Until His Disappearance
Although he had $8,000 in the bank, owned a farm and a new car, and had no known troubles, Joseph Dvorsak (sic), 25, of Kossuth, hung himself in his brother's barn Saturday by placing a rope about his neck and jumping from a load of hay.
Coroner Rau, who was called on the case, ascribed the action to a fit of despondency brought out by temporary insanity. The family is at a loss to explain the act.
Dvorsak, who with his father was visiting at his brother's place, disappeared from the house around noon. He was last seen by his father, who saw him as he left the house. As he had spent the morning in work about the farm and had appeared perfectly natural and normal, no alarm was felt at his continued absence. Around 7 o'clock when he failed to appear for supper, the farther and brother went to look for him. They found him hanging in the barn.
The young man was known to have a "set-in" personality, according to Coroner Rau. Although he was free of economic and marital worries, he was of the quiet, brooding type. Knowing him to be a hard worker, his father had given him a farm near Kossuth a year or so ago.
Disliked Farm
Mr. Dvorsak had retired, leaving the home farm to the older brother, William, buying a farm for Joseph. Relatives said Joseph was dissatisfied with his new place, saying that it was too far off the main road. The father had been engaged in finding a more suitable spot for him. The dissatisfaction brought about by the farm location is the only known trouble the boy had.
Joseph Dvorsak was born in Kossuth January 6, 1908. He attended school there and for the past year worked his own farm near the home farm in Kossuth.
The deceased is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dvorsak, a brother, William of Kossuth; and a sister, Mrs. Charles Havlichek of Branch.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday from St. Anne's Catholic church at Francis Creek. Burial will take place in the adjoining cemetery. The body may be viewed at the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral parlors until the time of the funeral.
