Albert Tenopir is Buried Today

Native Bohemian Dies at Home of Daughter, Mrs. Frank Havlik

Albert Tenopir, 63 years of age, died at the home of his daughter Mrs. Frank Havlik, 2 1/2 miles south of Lawton yesterday afternoon at 3:35 o'clock following an illness of three months.

Mr. Tenopir was born in Bohemia, came to the United States and was naturalized over forty years ago, settling at wilber, Sanline county, Nebraska, coming to this community in 1911 and purchasing a farm near Geronimo.

Besides his wife and daughter, he is survived by six sons, Lewis, Emil and Harry of Morse Bluff, Neb. Edward, William, and Henry reside at the parental home.

Funeral services were held this afternoon at Ritter's chapel at 4 o'clock, Rev. Robert Ray, pastor of the Beal Heights Presbyterian church officiating.

Burial was made in Highland cemetery with Ritter's in charge. The many friends of the family sympathize with them in their bereavement.

His death certificate, on file with the Oklahoma State Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Comanche County, Lawton shows his father as A. Tenopir and his mother unknown. It appears to me that he is part of the Vaclav and Anna TENOPIR family of Saline County, Nebraska.

Albert married Anna Racek after 1889 in Milligan, Fillmore County, Nebraska. Anna (daughter of Vaclav "James" Racek and Veronika Beznoska) was born on 20 Dec 1873 in Morse Bluff, Saunders County, Nebraska; died on 31 Jul 1951 in Geronimo, Comanche County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

(Research):This is the family at the time of the 1880 Federal Census. Note that a 16 year old Charles Tenopir is living nearby. It would appear that they are part of the same family due to the relative rarity of the name. Also, I assumed that that the ALBERT TENOPIR who was born in 1864 and who married Anna RACEK is part of this family. Perhaps one of the two "Charle's" listed below is him:

This MIGHT be where Albert was living, even though he is listed as Charles:
