Tribute to a
Former Resident
of This City
Written in Memory of Mrs. John
Kopia, Who Made Her Home
Here for Many Years.
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me.
And may there be no moaning
at the bar
When I put out to sea."
When I learned of the passing of
Mrs. Kopia, these lines of Tennyson's
came to me, and I could not but
think how beautifully they seem to
fit into my thoughts on that occasion.
Like the dropping of a curtain at
the finish of the opera, and like the
setting of the sun in the evening,
signifying the close of day, so, too,
the spirit of Mrs. Kopia passed on
with the ending of the day, and a
well-spent life on earth was ended.
I like to think that in the bigness of
her heart, and the unselfishness of
her soul, she would have asked that
there be moaning when her soul cross
ed the bar.
From an acquaintance of
years, I know that the one sorrow ami today. Readings at the local Bur-

EXPERT SHOE REPAIRING
she might have had at leaving her
loved ones, was that sho should
bring grief to them.
Mrs. Kopia'3 life was an eventful
one, and one or service to her fam
ily, her friends, and her God. Not
withstanding the demands made upon
her time and strength assisting her
husband in the conduct of a general
store, she found time to maintain
her home and bring into its keeping
all the womanly attributes as God in
tended in the beginning of things.
She was a devoted w-ife and help
mate, and a loving ana generous
mother.
Anna Valla was born in Bistrice,
Moravia, in the Austria-Hungarian
empire, Feb. 2, 1862. Her early life
was spent in the land of her birth,
where she acquired her education,
living there until 1SS2, when at the
age of twenty, she came with her
mother and sister to the Lnited
States, settling in Chicago.
Soon after her arrival in Chicago,
Anna Valla married John Kopia,
also a native of Moravia, but an
earlier emigrant to America. At the
time of the marriage, Mr. Kopia was
identified with the Burlington rail
way, and in the course or tne years,
was transferred to Plattsmouth, Neb.,
where he was employed in the rail
way shops. Later Mr. and Mrs. Kopia
ivere moved to Gillette, Wyoming, and
still again back to Plattsmouth, Neb.
Both came to America with the old
country heritage of thrift, and the
will to acquire a competence. After
building a home in Plattsmouth, Mr.
and Mrs. Kopia decided to open a
general store. Beyond their expecta1
tion the business venture becomes a
success, and for twenty-seven years
both Mr. and Mrs. Kopia worked
side by side in the store.
During these years Mrs. Kopia
became the mother of a son, whose
little life was of' short duration
living barely beyond his infancy.
Later the home was gladdened with
the arrival of a daughter, who was
christened Anna, after her mother.
Also, in the bigness of her heart,
Mrs. Kopia took into her home and
close affections an orphaned son of
! her sister Frank Bartonek and
gave him all the loving care of a
mother.
A few years after their daughter,
Anna, married and became Mrs. F.
E. Lorenz, both Mr. and Mrs. Kopia
realized the fruition of their early
dream, retiring from active business,
In 1922, they moved to Des Moines,
to be near where Mr. and Mrs. Lor
enz were located.
Many of her old friends and cus
tomers In Plattsmouth will hear of
her death with a pang of regret, and
her kindly deeds of unobtrusive
charity and love will always be a
bright spot in their memory of her.
Perhaps her outstanding charac
teristic that evidenced itself to me
was the supreme youthfulness of Mrs.
Kopia's outlook on life in general
Always optimistic, always having a
pleasant word for everyone, she seem
ed to never grow old.
During the last year of her life
Mrs. Kopia was forced to undergo
several serious operations, and pain
and suffering were seldom absent.
Withal she bore her burdens uncom
plainingly and unselfishly, and lived
on with the hope that her health
would improve, and she would again
resume her place In her home and
its activities.
Two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Kopia
celebrated their golden wedding an
niversary a happy and harmonious
union for a half a century. They
were a truly devoted couple a per
fect companionship existing through
out all the years.
Mrs. Kopia leaves to mourn her
passing, her husband, her daughter,
Mrs. Frank Lorenz, Jr., all of Des
lington station this morning showed
19 degrees below zero.
The thermometer at the river front
both Sunday and today showed read
ings of 20 below while in other sec
tions of the city there were varying
degrees of coldness.
The sudden drop in the temper
ature caused a great deal of annoy
ance to the auto owners of the com
munity and garages were busy in
handling frozen up car3 and trucks.
N. K. Pence, local insurance man,
was caught near Cedar Creek Satur
day night with hi3 car and while
laboring to get the car in running
order suffered the. freezing of his ear
before he could get into cover and
warmth.
The appointment of Randall C.
Biart of Bellevue as executive direc
tor of the Nebraska Children's Home
Society was announced by President
A. B. Barber following the annual j?I
