FRED KREJCAREK
FARMER FOUND DEAD IN BARN BY YOUNG SON
Fred Krejcarek Was Worried Over Conditions Involving Newly-purchased Farm
Depressed because the wet weather prevented the harvesting of his clover crop,
Fred Krejcarek, 48, Polifka’s Corners, was found hanging in his barn this
morning. Krejcarek was found by his 14-year-old son, Edward, at 5:30 this
morning, an hour after he had gone into the barn to milk.
No threat or indication of his action was given by Krejcarek, his family said
today. He had been worried and depressed for some time, however, over financial
conditions involving his farm, which he purchased two months ago from John Shanda,
the family said.
At 4:40 this morning Krejcarek went to the barnyard with his wife to milk the
cows. While his wife went to the pasture to drive in the cattle Krejcarek, instead
of going to the milk shed as usual, walked into the barn. Although his wife noticed
that he walked past the shed contrary to his usual habits, she paid no attention to
him. Edward, wondering at his father’s continued absence, went to the barn and found
him hanging from a rafter.
No Inquest
Coroner Gerald Rau of Two Rivers pronounced the man a victim of suicide. No inquest
will be held, Rau said.
Fred Krejcarek was born in Cooperstown and always made his home in the county. He
took up farming and operated farms in Franklin and Kossuth before taking over the
present farm two months ago.
Eighteen years ago he was married to Emily Havlichek. Survivors are his widow, a
daughter Violet; three sons, Edward, Clarence and Lester; his mother, Mrs. Rosie
Krejcarek; three brothers, Emil of Franklin, Joseph of Kossuth and Miles of this
city; and three sisters, Mrs. John Wilhelm, Kenosha, Mrs. Joseph Holley, Bolt, and
Mrs. William Grall, city.
The funeral will be Thursday at 2 p.m. from the Husar and Wachal funeral home at
Kellnersville, where the body may be viewed. Interment will be in Evergreen
cemetery.
