Greenstreet News
On Thursday morning our vicinity was greatly shocked to hear of the sudden death of a well known resident, Wencel Tuma, Sr aged 73. Deceased had been in poor health for the past two years but, during the last few days felt greatly relieved. The evening before his death he spent in cheer and apparent good health with his wife and family. After retiring he peacefully fell asleep, never to awaken.

Mr. Tuma was the last of pioneer settlers coming from Bohemia with his parents when 18 years of age and settling on the farm where he resided up to the time of his death. About sixteen years ago he retired, transferring his farm to his son. He was a kind and generous father and neighbor and a highly respected citizen. That he was held in high esteem by all who knew him, was shown by the large cortege that followed his remains to their resting place.

A wife and one daughter, Mrs. John Marek, and two sons, Wencel of Gibson and John of this vicinity, remain to mourn his loss. Also a large circle of relatives and grand children.

The remains were laid at rest on Saturday afternoon at St. Wencel's Catholic cemetery. Rev. Cipin performed the ceremony, the last sad rites, may he rest in peace.
