Manitowoc county and who later for a 32-year span operated his own outfit in the northern part of the county, died early this morning at the Holy Family hospital. For the past few years, Mr. Krejci, who mastered five languages and was an authority on historical data in the town of Gibson, lived a retired life in this city. He made his home at the hospital for the past three years. Funeral services will be held from the Wattawa, Urbanek and Schlei funeral parlors Thursday at 2 p.m. in charge of the Rev. Junek of Melnik. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery. The deceased was born on a farm in the town of Gibson January 26, 1861. Near the close of the Civil war his father entered the Union army. He was killed when thrown from his horse on returning after the close of the war. Used Oxen The young Krejci then at the age of 14 years entered the employ of his uncle, Joseph Yanda, who operated the first steam threshing engine in the county. It was pulled by a team of oxen and went about from farm to farm in the fall of the year. When Emanuel Krejci grew to manhood he acquired control of the threshing outfit and continued to operate equipment of a more modern type for many years. He also conducted a farm in the town of Gibson. He sold the farm 15 years ago and moved
with his wife to this city, taking up a home at 916? North Fourth street. Mrs. Krejci, who before her marriage to Mr. Krejci 50 years ago was Mary Stuehr, died in 1921. Survivors are four sons, Otto, Jerry W., Emil and Edward, all of this city; and two sisters, Mrs. Joseph Wilda of this city and Mrs. Frank Straka, Gibson. The body may be viewed at the funeral home until the hour of the funeral."
