Funeral of John Zinnecker Will Be Held Today

Well Known Citizen Noted for His Industry Passed Away Wednesday Morning

John Zinnecker, who had been very seriously ill for the past two months, passed away at his home on South Seeger St. on Wednesday morning, June 18, at the age of 75 years. Funeral services will be held at the family residence this (Friday) afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. C.F. Smith, pastor of the Evangelical church officiating.

Mr. Zinnecker was born at Pirmesens, Germany, on Nov. 25, 1848. At the age of 20, he was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Wagoner. He came to the United States in 1868, his wife and baby daughter following him a year later. The family first settled at Ionia and later at Carson City. Mr. and Mrs. Zinnecker came to Cass City in 1880 and started farming operations on a farm three miles east of town, on the Tuscola-Sanilac county line. In the fire of 1881, they lost their barn and farm produce, but were fortunate in saving their home.

Mr. Zinnecker found it expedient to work at his trade of shoemaker in order to support his family about the second year of his residence in this community. He walked from his farm to Cass City, a distance of three miles, over poor roads, every morning to work his trade and his farming operations were conducted early in the morning and late at night. Not long after this, he moved to Cass City and for 21 years he was employed by J.D. Crosby to conduct a shoe repair shop. Later he entered the business for himself.

Honesty and thrift have been characteristics prominent in Mr. Zinnecker's life and his industry has been an outstanding feature. He believed it is better to wear out than rust out and her proved to be an indefatigable workman.

Besides his wife, he leaves seven children, Mrs. W.D. Striffler and Mrs. Lester Bailey of Cass City, Geo. Zinnecker of Brunelda, Mont., Wm. Zinnecker of Deford, Mrs. C.W. Clark of Caro, Mrs. Grover Blades of Big Creek, California, and Mrs. John Thiel of Hobart, Indiana. Two children preceded the father in death.

John Zinnecker received a telegram this week from his grandson, Leonard Zinnecker, whose home is in Montana, that he arrived safely from overseas in New York on June 21. Mr. Zinnecker has been in France in Base Hospital.

Art Peck writes that in 1918, Leonard moved in Ingoma, Montana. He entered into the US Army at Camp Lewis on 20 Sept 1918, and served in France during World War I. After the war, he farmed at the head of Dry Creek 35 miles southwest of Jordan, Montana. He operated the Montana elevator in Moore for 18 years. He was adjuctant of the American Legion Post for 18 years, being a lifetime member.

According the the 1941 issue of the Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast (Vol. 5, September 1, 1941), Leonard Zinnecker, manager of the elevator at Moore, Montana, reported abundant crops in his community...the largest number of loads during the year brought in in one day was 128.

The Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast, Volume 11, published September 6, 1948, reported that he had left the Montana Elevator company in Moore after 22 years and was working for an insurance company.

Volume 19 of the same periodical, September 3, 1956, reported that Mark Leonard, a son, was born to Mr. and Mrs. L.F. Zinnecker of Billings, Montana.

Obituary, courtesy of Dennis Belohlavy, from Farmer and Sons website

Edna Anna Capek was born on January 26, 1926 to Joseph and Emma (Filipi) Zumpfe at the family farm south of Friend, NE. She passed away on May 9, 2016 at the Heritage Crossing in Geneva, NE reaching the age of 90 years three months and fourteen days. She was one of five daughters in the family.

Edna attended grade school at District 53 one mile south of their home. She and her sisters walked to school every day. She graduated from Friend High School in 1943. While going to high school in the winter they often stayed in Friend because of the condition of the roads. Her father picked them up on the weekend. She took normal training as a senior in high school which enabled her to teach grade school until her marriage.

Edna met Anton Capek at her sister Helen's wedding to Ed Smith, who was Anton's first cousin. Anton enlisted in the Marines and they corresponded during his time in the service and fell in love. They were married at the home of the bride on April 8, 1947. They made their first home one mile south two miles west and ? mile south of Milligan which was called the Cecrle place.
They were blessed with a daughter Jeanette Ann and a son Raymond John.

In 1959 they moved to the home place when Anton Sr. and Agnes moved to town. They lived on the home place until August of 1975 when Ray and his wife Jan moved to the farm.
Anton and Edna then resided four miles east and two miles south of Geneva. After a courageous battle with cancer, Anton passed away on May 14, 1979. Edna continued to live on the farm and worked at Heritage Crossings for fifteen years, first as a cook and then doing laundry. During her years of employment she made many good friends.

Edna enjoyed traveling with her daughter and cousin and many memories were made.
Edna moved to Sunshine Villa in Milligan in March of 1996. She resided there until her move to Heritage Crossing in October of 2012 due to failing health.

Leaving the Villa, was a hard decision for Edna as it had been her home for many years and many wonderful friends were made. They were like a family.

Her move to Heritage was an adjustment, she thought they came into her room way too much, but she soon made friends and then welcomed their appearance.

Edna was a wonderful mother, grandma and great grandma. She was always there for her children. Jeanette remembers all of the guidance she gave, the things she taught her and the unconditional love she gave. Memories of her mother will be in her heart forever.
Ray, being a true boy, was ornery and loved to tease. She always said that it was his father coming out in him. She loved every minute of it. He was fiercely loyal to her and he would move mountains for her if he could.

She was a wonderful cook teaching her daughter-in-law how to make a tasty kraut and dumplings, and wonderful dressing. Her grandsons were convinced she could put Col. Sander's chicken to shame. Her kolache were mouth watering and disappeared quickly at any gathering.
Ann stayed with grandma while her mother worked out of the home and both Ann and Shelly cherished every minute they spent with grandma.

Edna loved to garden, canning its bounty, work with her flowers, raise chickens and ducks and enjoy the great outdoors. She loved to crochet and made each of the grandchildren an afghan which they cherish.

She and Tony loved to dance and would regularly go to polka dances with their neighbors and friends. They also loved to attend the Burwell rodeo and did so many times.

Edna was a member of the Milligan American Legion Auxiliary, Milligan Juniors Extension Club, the Western Fraternal Life Association ? Z.C.B.J. Lodge, and the Milligan Methodist Church.

Edna was preceded in death by her parents, husband Anton Capek Jr. her sisters Helen, Emma and Mary brothers-in-law, Ed Smith, Willard Engel, Milo Nejdl and Henry Hayek and sister-in-law Irma Hayek.

She is survived by her daughter, Jeanette Cornell of Grand Island, son Ray and daughter-in-law Jan of Milligan, grandsons Jason Capek of Shelton, NE. Justin and wife Melissa of Ohiowa, NE, Jon and wife Audra of Carleton, NE and Josh Capek of Tobias. Granddaughters Ann Tagliaferro and husband Tony of Commerce City CO, Shelly and husband Mike of Kenesaw NE and sister Olga Nejdl of Crete, NE. Also eleven great-grandchildren and many relatives and friends.

Funeral services for Edna were held on Friday, May 13, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. at the United Methodist Church in Milligan. Pastor Brad Barrows officiated the services. Deb Brunkow accompanied the congregation in the singing of "Amazing Grace," "Abide With Me," and "Hymn Of Promise."

Pallbearers for the service included Jason Capek, Justin Capek, Jon Capek, Josh Capek, Roger Capek, and Glen Capek. Honorary bearers were Larry Capek, Gerald Capek, Tony Tagliaferro, and Mike Hansen. Interment was held in the Bohemian National Cemetery. Memorials are directed to the United Methodist Church, the Milligan American Legion, or the Milligan Library.

24967 I6182  Zumwalt  Julia  14 Mar 1892  13 Mar 1981  0  Ken Harvey indicates that John William and Julia met in Alpine, where he had moved following the death of his first wife.

Lynell Cordell notes that the records pertaining to her death are inconsistent. "This looks to be John W.'s wife and the last residence was Houston but the last benefits were paid in Alpine. Maybe she went their to stay with her children? But then, if the TX Death Record is for the same Julia, she died in Kerr County."

Well now, I thought John William Gentry probably married Julia in Oklahoma but if her father was an early settler of Brewster Co. then I guess they met and married there. At least, this looks to be her father.

Big Bend Genealogical Society BIOGRAPHIES OF SOME EARLY BIG BEND AREA SETTLERS Robert Dowling Zumwalt R. D. Zumwalt resided in Brewster County as early as 1911. He served in the Confederate forces during the War Between the States--as a Private in 136 Regiment Texas Cavalry, enlisting in Lockhart Texas. He was born in 1846 in Lavaca County, Texas and died August 16, 1926 in El Paso and is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery. He was married twice. His first wife died in 1919 and he married second Mrs. Elizabeth Sollie. R. D. moved to El Paso in about 1916. He was involved in the mercantile business and was a salesman until a short time before his death. At his death, survivors were listed as his wife and four sons-Sam, Floyd N., Robert, and D. F. and three daughters-Mrs. J. J. Kent, Mrs. Carolyn Franks, Mrs. J. W. Gentry of Alpine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also found this, which says that John W. was a Senior. IF this is the same John, and I think it has to be.

TX Death Record Gentry John W SR 10-20-1972 BREWSTER M SINGLE

I think Julia died after John so I don't know why it says he was single. Unless they were divorced or.....unless the records below aren't the same Julia Gentry. The TX death records gives the county of death and Social Security gives the last residence and where the last benefit was paid. These don't look to be the same Julia but they both died in March 1981 which I think is strange.
