KOPETZKY--Joseph Kopetzky Dies - Following a lingering illness of 10 weeks' duration, Joseph Kopetzky, 69, a resident of Platte county for over 50 years, who made his home at 1803 Sixth street, passed away at 5:20 a.m. today at St. Mary's hospital. His death was due to heart disease. He was born on Feb. 22, 1863, in Austria, and came to this country at the age of 13 years, with his parents. They settled on a farm in Bismark township, where he grew to manhood, and where he continued to make his home until 1914 when he moved to Columbus. It was while still living with his parents, when a young man that he was united in marriage to Miss Julia Brauner, at St. Mary's parish, near Humphrey. During their long period of residence in Bismark township, they formed many friendships and were held in high esteem by all who knew them. When they retired and moved to Columbus, they bought a home and a small tract of land at the east end of Fifth street and Lovers' Lane, where Mrs. Kopetzky passed away on Oct. 28, 1918. In 1922, Mr. Kopetzky made a trip back to his native land, and after a few months he returned here again. For the last two and one-half years he has been making his home with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bruckner at 1803 Sixth street. He is survived by two sons, Ego and Rudolph Kopetzky, who reside three miles east of Columbus; four daughters, Mrs. Philip Wemhoff, Mrs. Henry Wieser and Mrs. Vincent Wieser, all of Humphrey, and Mrs. Earl Dicus, of Omaha; 33 grandchildren, and one sister, Mrs. Andrew Hamling, of Columbus. Funeral services will be held at 9:30 a.m. Friday at St. Bonaventure's church, and burial will be held in the Catholic cemetery.
