months.

Manitowoc, and at 10 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The Rev. Francis
Jansky, S.J., a son, will officiate and burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery.
Mr. Jansky was born Jan. 3, 1883, in Kewaunee County, son of the late Joseph
and Mary Stangel Jansky. He married Mary Sladky at Tisch Mills June 12, 1906.
She died in November of 1956. They celebrated the golden anniversary of their

A representative of New York Life Insurance Co., Mr. Jansky began his long
sales career in retail stores at Mishicot and Kewaunee, coming to Manitowoc
to join O. Torrison Co. He was employed by Gimbel Bros., Milwaukee, but
returned after a year to the Torrison firm and later joined Plumb and Nelson
Co.
In 1923, he opened a men's clothing store, Jones and Jansky Clothing Co. In
1928, he became associated with New York Life and during his nearly 35 years
with the company he won numerous honors as an underwriter and senior represent-
ative, working out of Milwaukee and Green Bay offices. As a reward for his
service and consistent production he was appointed division chairman, competing
with more than 2,000 agents of the company. In 1958, he received company
recognition for 20 years of consecutive weekly production.
In 1945, he served as president of Manitowoc Life Underwriters Assn. He was a
director of Wisconsin State Association of Life Underwriters in 1946 and received
the national quality award for five consecutive years, 1945-50.
Mr. Jansky was also active in civic and church affairs, serving in 1942 as
chairman of Manitowoc City Committee on Payroll Allotment for War Savings. He
was active, too, in Boy Scouts and served as an initial office in organizing
and building Holy Innocents Catholic Church. He was elected first secretary of
the parish in 1932, serving a three-year term.
Mr. Jansky was a member of Holy Name Society of Sacred Heart Catholic Church,
Knights of Columbus, third and fourth degrees, Happy Death Society of Gesu Church,
Milwaukee, and Jesuit Fathers Guild.
Surviving are three sons, Father Jansky, S.J., of Phoenix, Ariz., Paul J. of
Manitowoc and Lawrence C. of South Milwaukee; six brothers, Emil of Chicago,
Louis of Rockwood, Edward and Joseph of Tisch Mills, Otto of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
and Victor of Manitowoc; and eight grandchildren. A brother, Peter, and a sister,
Anna, preceded him in death.
Friends may call at the funeral home after 2 p.m. Monday where the Rosary will
