Shirley Anne Sladek of Friend, NE passed away Wednesday March 15, 2023, in Lincoln, NE at the age of 79. Shirley was born August 17, 1943 to Rudolph and Engeline (Langhorst) Slama in Beatrice, NE, the third of six children.

Shirley grew up with her family near Swanton, NE and later moved with her family to a farm south of Friend, NE. Shirley especially loved working with her dad on the farm, milking cows, hauling bales, and doing anything outside was her favorite place to be.

After graduating from Friend High School in 1961 she attended business school in Omaha, NE and then began working at the Crete Mills, where she met her husband, William Sladek Jr. Bill and Shirley were married October 19, 1963, and to this union six children were born, Bill, Peggy, Kathy, Christy, Rex, and David.

Shirley loved cooking, gardening, crocheting, sewing, playing cards, and caring for her family. She raised and canned almost everything her family ate and her cooking was THE BEST. She loved treating co-workers, neighbors, and businesses with her tremendous goods and it was always said that she could make shoe leather taste good. She loved sharing and had a heart of gold, with a great smile, contagious laugh, and was a pillar of strength. Her work ethic was second to none, and she could run circles around those young enough to be her grandchildren. She was incredible.

Shirley was a dedicated, reliable LPN and licensed EMT for many years. She worked countless shifts over the years at Friend, Geneva, and Exeter. The highlight of her nursing career was being able to attend the C-Section birth of a patient's child. She was honored to be able to share in such a special moment and always said what an incredible experience it was.

During her retirement years Shirley enjoyed helping in the school kitchen and really enjoyed watching the kids grow and follow their activities.

Shirley is survived by her children, Bill (Tammy) Sladek of Cordova, NE, Peggy (Billy) Baugh of Friend, NE, Christy (Jeremy) Wagner of Denver, IA, David (Vanessa) Sladek of Friend, NE. Grandchildren, Kelly (Mitch) Rischling of Milligan, NE, Kimberly (Tanner) Gloystein of Exeter, NE, Brett Baugh, Becky Williamson of Crete, NE, Jordyn Baugh (Joe Bechtle) of Lincoln, NE, Brooke Baugh of LaVista, NE, Jakob and Lucas Wagner of Denver, IA, Kyler, Hadley, and Bristol Sladek of Friend, NE, four great grandchildren. Siblings, Norman (Mona) Slama of Lincoln, NE, Janice (Jerry) Heyen of Yakima, WA, Karen Clem of Bellingham, WA. Several nieces and nephews.

Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, William Sladek Jr, and her children Kathy Sladek, and Rex Sladek. Parents Rudolph and Engeline Slama.

Many people enjoyed Dorothy's embroidery handiwork. She completed over 70 sets of tea towels for the Milligan Methodist Church.

He spent the next 35 years working as a mechanic, retiring in July of 2006. Ed loved working on vehicles and raising his garden, but his favorite things to do were hunting, fishing, and helping his sons on their race cars. It was hard to keep Ed away from farming.

Obituary

Anna Helen Smith, 104 of Emerald and Lincoln passed away on September 19, 2022. Anna was born on February 15, 1918 on the family farm near Milligan, Nebraska to Edward and Anna (Capek) Smith. She was one of five children. Anna attended elementary school District 96, which was 3/4 mile from the family farm. Anna had perfect attendance in 1930. Anna graduated from Milligan High School in 1935. Shorty after graduation she moved to Lincoln where she worked as a maid.

In 1942, after World War II broke out, she knew there were other opportunities for ladies. Meadow Gold Dairy had an ad in the newspaper for ladies to deliver milk with horse and wagon. She applied and got the job. She felt her farm experience helped her land the job. She delivered milk in the 27th, A to South Street area. Milk was in glass bottles, and sold for 9 cents a quart. She got off work early enough so she was able to acquire a second job. She cooked and served food at the Hi-Y, where the students from the Aviation School ate their meals. Later she worked at Cushman's assembling bomb fuses until the war was over. Later she worked at Western Electric for 10 years. When the company moved from Lincoln to Omaha she opted to stay in Lincoln.

In 1962 she met Ray Wells, a farmer. Together they raised hogs, farmed the land and raised horses. They enjoyed participating in local rodeos. She even learned barrel racing. She retired in 1981 after Ray's death. She then bought a house near Bryan Hospital and had it moved on her property. She spent many hours grooming her flower gardens which contained a multitude of Iris, perennials, and clematis. She was a member of the Lincoln Iris Society. She won awards at the Iris Shows- best color and for having the second most blue ribbons. She lived independently until three months before her 100th birthday. Most recently, she has been a resident at Tabitha long-term care in Crete, Nebraska.

Anna is survived by a daughter, Paula (Michael) Downey, Warner Robins Georgia, three Grandchildren: Jillian (Kirt) Kreutzer, Adam (Kellie) Downey, and Caitlyn Downey, two great grandchildren: Elliot and Jude Kreutzer. Nieces and Nephews: Carol (Jim) Hansen, Denton, Texas, Sharon Featherston, Twin Falls, Idaho, Gary (Chere) Tuttle, Friend, Nebraska, Vickie Garrett, Sarasota, Florida, Martha Synhorst, Cedaredge, Colorado, and David Tuttle, Tekamah, Nebraska, as well as a multitude of great nieces and nephews. She is also survived by many distant relatives and friends from the Iris Club, Denton Historical Society, Extension Service and numerous other clubs with which she was involved, as well as caring neighbors, Eunice and John Cernohlavek and Marge and Ron Grieff.

20984 I18  Smith  Avis Augusta  4 Apr 1901  7 Nov 1981  Bert and Ida Smith had a neighbor named Tom Avis, whom they greatly admired. They vowed to name their first child after him, Tom if it was a boy, and Avis if it was a girl. This is how Avis acquired her unusual first name.Thomas Avis was a railroad agent in Odessa. His father was from England. Her middle name, Augusta, was given to her in rememberance of her grandfather, Augustus Elliott. LaVonne Bennett found the following "tidbits" related to the Avis family who was so admired by Bert and Ida Smith. In the Thursday, March 12, 1903 edition of the LAKE ODESSA WAVE newspaper, in a column titled 'Local Splinters': "Homer and Lola Avis were at Lansing Saturday, taking music lessons." The IONIA DAILEY STANDARD, dated April 8, 1909 notes that "Miss Lola Avis is home from Olivet College for Easter vacation." Lola and Homer were the children of Tom and Gertrude Avis, according to the 1900 census.

Avis was an excellent student, and attended Michigan State University, as had her father. Avis's degree was in Human Ecology (Home Economics). She had also studied chemistry, but said that she was told as a woman that she would not be considered qualified to teach this.

In a letter Avis wrote to her oldest granddaughter, Melinda McLemore, after Melinda started college in 1978, Avis recounted her own experiences: "I can remember when I graduated--my Latin teacher wanted me to go to Western Michigan or Kalmazoo College in Kalamazoo, and I wanted to go. But my folks wanted me to go to M.S.U at East Lansing, about 12 miles from home. Then I could help in the store on Saturdays. At the end of the first year, my counselor convinced me that the world was going scientific, and that I should return. I am glad that I did stay with science. But the college was so BIG. 2,000--Ha! I never felt completely at home on that big, sprawling campus." In a later letter she wrote: "The math would frighten me now-as it did when I was a freshman. I loved French. Had a native teacher."

On June 2, 1925, the following letter was sent to Miss Avis Smith, Cass City, Michigan, from W.W. Warner, Superintendent of Saginaw, East Side, Public Schools:

My dear Miss Smith:

Since our interview I have learned from the present outlook at Central Junior High that we are quite likely to have a "Clothing" program in full or in part still unprovided for next year.

I am inclined to think we can use you to advantage on this program. I am therefore enclosing you an appointment card. This carries a salary of $1475. By properly signing the card and returning it to this office, and you yourself retaining this letter as evidence of your appointment you will have a legal contract. Sincerely yours, W.W. Warner

The following year, the Board of Education of Saginaw, Michigan once again employed Avis A. Smith as teacher in its public schools "....commencing September 1, 1926, and agrees to pay as wages for such services and work at the rate of $157.50 per month....."

She was offered a renewal of her contract for the period of September 1, 1927 to July 1, 1928 under the same terms, but at the increased rate of $160 per month. However, she chose to resign at this time, perhaps because of her recent marriage. She received the following letter in response to her resignation:

Saginaw Public Schools Office of the Superintendent Saginaw, Michigan

August Twenty Second Nineteen Twenty Seven

Mrs. Avis Benkelman Box 35 Cass City, Michigan

Dear Mrs. Benkelman

This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter resigning your position with us. I shall be glad to present this to the Board at our next meeting and have no doubt they will accept it. We are sorry to lose your from our school system and wish to thank you for your good work done in the past.

Very sincerely yours,

Harold Steele Superintendent

Although she no longer taught, Avis stayed active and involved with education. She and several close friends from a social group for University Women were tireless volunteers. A pet project was the Rawson Memorial Library (endowed by the Dentist her husband worked for). Her support was remembered many years after she had moved away from Cass City. In a letter dated June 10, 1988 to Melinda Strong, acknowledging a donation made to the Rawson Library in memory of her grandparents, Barbara Hutchison, Director noted that "Your grandparents were indeed well known in Cass City and avid supporters of the library. Your grandmother served on the library board in the 1950's and 60's and was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the outstanding library service that the community enjoys today. They would have been very pleased with the lovely library that we have now. " She also served as treasurer of the Cass City Chapter of the Michigan State College Alumni Association (Cass City Chronicle, Friday, Feb. 8, 1952, Page twelve, column six, M.S.C. Alumni Dinner.)

Avis and her husband, Ben Benkelman of Cass City, Michigan retired in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she died, November 7, 1981.

Her obituary, as published in the St. Petersburg newspaper, follows:

Benkelman, Avis A., 80, of 7901 40th Av. N., died Saturday (Nov. 7, 1981). Born in Lake Odessa, Mich., she came here in 1968 from Cass City, Mich., where she was a school teacher. She was a member of the Seminole United Methodist Church. Survivors include her husband, Benjamin F.; a daughter Bonnie McLemore, Barrington, Ill., and three granddaughters.

20988 I134  Smith  Benjamin Franklin  Abt 1833  6 Jul 1869  Avis (Smith) Benkelman said that her paternal grandparents were William Bert Smith, Sr. and Mary Chatman. However it appears that they were actually Benjamin Franklin Smith and the former Mary Ann Welch--Chapman being the name of her second husband.

Avis also indicated that her maternal grandmother, Sarah Cramer, "was a widow with two small children." However, there is no evidence that Sarah Cramer had been married more than once. Perhaps Avis was confusing Sarah Ann Cramer with Mary Ann Chapman. It was as the widow of Benjamin Smith, with two young sons, that she married Samuel Chapman.

A 28 year old Benjamin Smith, single and born in New York, can be found in Ionia County at the time of the 1860 census. He was living with the Knisel? or Knodsel? family. As the rest of his family is still listed in Riga, New York, it appears he moved to Michigan early, with his brother Morris, and later his mother Marian,following him to Michigan, probably sometime after his father died in 1864.

Even if this is not the same Benjamin Franklin Smith, we do know that he moved to Ionia County sometime before 1866, as his oldest son Elmer was born in Ionia County in January of that year. When he died of typhoid in the summer of 1869, his son Elmer was not quite four, and son Bert was just over a year old.

LaVonne Bennett, an extraordinarily competent and generous researcher from Ionia County, Michigan found the following records:

Ionia County Probate Court Record #187: The estate was valued at $4000. IONIA COUNTY SENTINEL publication of Probate of Will of B. Frank Smith August 2, 1869 and for three consecutive weeks thereon.

Partial listing of amounts paid out of estate: 1)$12.50 to Samuel B. Chapman 1-25-1870 in Odessa, due him from late Frank Smith 2)$100.00 to John El?l?et (Elvert? Elliott?) 3)$17.00 to Libbie ELVART 4)$9.15 to James J.

Chapman 9-28-1872 and received by Mary A. Chapman 15)$43.00 + interest to S. A. Houghton, as payment for B. F. Smith note made 2-3-1869

Petition in file stating Mary A. Smith was lawfully married to Frank Smith and did love and cohabite with him until his death. Mary A. Chapman makes selection from estate inventory: 1 oxen $130, 1 cow, 2 heifers $35; (wheat $10?), household furniture $75.

Per petition for appointment of administrator, 7-6-1869, heirs listed were widow, Mary Ann Smith; Elmer Smith and Burtis Smith, sons of said deceased. All reside in County of Ionia, MI.

Another petition with date unreadable: Land assigned to Elmer and Burtis subject to dower rights of Mary A. Chapman.

LaVonne Bennett added "from (the) land description of B. Franklin's farm, it was on land on Musgrove Highway and has now (according to 1987 plat book) been subdivided into smaller parcels and some of my Carter relatives lived on the east side of his 80 acres."

OTHER LEADS TO FOLLOW UP ON/POSSIBLE FAMILY CONNECTIONS

LaVonne Bennett noted that some of the names found on the above list are significant to future research---i.e. JAMES BROWN was found as both a creditor and a witness at Samuel and Mary A's marriage. Mary's mother's maiden name was given as Brown on Mary A.'s death record. HENRY and L.D. SMITH, also creditors, might they be related as well?

LaVonne also found, in her discarded Smith files (her mother being a Smith): HENRY SMITH b 1830, d 1-14-1885, age 54, 11, 10, marr Catherine Clark (1835-1915), dau Hattie b 1867, d 1925.
