REV JOSEPH TEPLY DEATH SUMMONS REV. TEPLY AS HE PLANS FOR A TRIP TO BOHEMIA TO VISIT PARENTS
Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Melnik Dies At Green Bay Hospital- was to have been Speaker at Fourth of July Program at Prague
Summoned by death as he was in the midst of plans to return to his old home in Bohemia and visit his parents, whom he had not seen in 21 years, when he left the old home when a boy of fourteen, was the sad fate of Rev. Joseph Teply, aged 35 years, pastor of the Melnik Presbyterian church. Surrounded by members of his family he died Wednesday afternoon at a Green Bay hospital after an illness that had confined him there since the first of the year.
With a party of friends going back to Bohemia Rev. Teply had been selected to make the Fourth of July address there. He was also to speak at numerous other places and until his illness had been planning on this trip with a great deal of pleasure.
The deceased had undergone an operation and had continued treatment in the hope that the illness was a temporary condition but in spite of everything that could be done his condition grew steadily worse.
He is survived by his wife, three children,Helen Marie, Lester and Wesley, his aged parents in Bohemia and a brother in Dubuque,Iowa. Rev. Teply has been pastor of the Melnik Presbyterian church eight years, coming to his charge direct from his seminary training at Dubuque University, and theological seminary remaining with this church until his death.
He received a number of opportunities to move to other fields but regarded the work at Melnik of such great possibility and such a fine future that he declined to move. The church has made rapid strides from the day when he first took charge, and after years of successful service, the church this year, under his leadership, reached its fullest development and assumed its own entire support, it having been founded thirty-five years ago as a mission enterprise.
Planned to Sail in June
Particular sadness attaches to his passing at this time because of his having made arrangements to leave in June for a trip to the scenes of his childhood in order to visit his parents who still in Bohemia. He had chartered passage with a group of Presbyterian ministers and laymen from the Bohemian synod of the west, and was to sail in June.
