He came to America with his parents in 1879. While living near Alliance, Neb., his father and sister were killed by lightning. He returned to Fillmore county, where he lived several years, going then to Canada. After staying there for four years, he again returned to Nebraska.

In March 1912, Mr. Janda moved his family to Nelson, Neb., where he had bought a farm. He had been ailing since the first of the year and in April went to Lincoln to consult a specialist. May 1 he was operated on for appendicitis but it was found that cancer of the stomach was his real ailment.
