Sketch of Life
of a long Time
Resident of Neb.
Mrs. Joseph Samek, Well Known
Here, 'Has Long Been Loved and
Honored Figure in Weston.
Emma Samek was born at Rock Is
land, Illinois, Dec. 11th, 1874, and
passed away July 31, 193G. She
leaves surviving her, her husband,
Joseph Samek, and children Mrs. J
A. Capwell and Virginia Samek of
Plattsmouth, Mrs. C. N. Turner of
Marquette, Mrs. R. R. Otredosky of
Milligan; Melvin Samek of Chappell;
Kenneth, Neal and Clifford of Weston
and six grandchildren, also two sis
ters, of Weston, Mrs. F. Pacal and
Miss Georgia Madigan. A daughter,
Genevieve, preceded her in death.
At an early age Mrs. Samek with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Madigan,
came to Weston where she grew to
young womanhood, and where she
met and married her husband, Jo
seph Samek, and where they founded
their home and reared their children.
Mrs. Samek was a member of the
Methodist church for a number of
years, later associating with the Bap
tist church of Weston after the for
mer church had been discontinued.
Mrs. Samek was a faithful worker in
this congregation for a long time,
and at her death was serving as pres
ident of its ladies aid society. Relig
iously, Mrs. Samek was quiet, but
sincere, her character alone speaking
eloquently of her Christian faith.
Mrs. Samek was one of the earlier
graduateso f the Weston high school
following its founding many years,
and from which all her children
graduated in later years, the young
est, Clifford, this year in May. Prior
to her marriage she taught school a
number of years. She was also a
member of the Royal Neighbors.
Mother Samek represented the best
that is good and fine in that splen
did type of American motherhood.
She and her husband were ambitious
beyond their strength in their desire
that their sons and daughters be
given the advantages of an education
and training in Christian character,
and bo become useful members of that
large family of human society. Her
life paralleled the ideal mother men
tioned in the Proverbs of Holy Writ,
and like that mother "The heart of
her husband doth safely trust in
her." "She will do him good and
not evil all the days of her life
. . . "She stretcheth out her hand to
the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her
hands to the needy." . . . "She look-
eth well to the ways of her house
hold." . . . "Her children arise up
and call her blessed; her husband
also, and he praiseth her." And God
said of this mother, "Many daughters
have done well, but thou excellest
them all."
This kindly, patient and tolerant
mother will not only be missed by her
family, but also by a large and inti
mate group of friends and neighbors
of many years standing.
Mother Samek has gone to sleep,
but she still lives in the hearts and
lives of her husband and children
She will still hover over them, trying
to guide them along the roadway of
life. This ought to stand always in
their conscious memories, lest by mis
take they pain the. one who only did
them good. She lives also under the
promise of One who long ago said
"I am the resurrection and the life.
He that believeth in me, tho he were
dead, yet shall he live; and whoso
ever believeth in me shall never die."
In this faith only shall we find our
consolation.
After services at Weston, Mrs.
Samek was laid to rest at Sunrise
cemetery, the Rev. Johnson of Pal
myra, Nebraska, a family friend, officiating.
