  Notes	Sharon Nemeth writes that Emma was married Emil Yeck on 8 April 1907. Their marriage license is at the Fillmore County Courthouse, Geneva, NE. Book 4, Page 24. He was born 27 July 1882. Parents of Emil Yeck were Joseph and Julia Ondrak Yeck Nebraska Signal Geneva, Nebraska Mrs. Emma Yeck Emma Janda was born October 1, 1882 in Czechoslovakia. She came to America at the age of four and spent most of her girlhood in a sod-house near Hemingford, Neb. where her parents were homesteading. After the father and younger sister were killed by lightining, the family came to Fillmore county. When a young girl, she united with a Methodist Church at Fairbury. Miss Janda married Emil Yeck in September 1903, and lived on a farm near Tobias. Two daughters were born to this union, Hildegarde Margaret and Helen Marie. On April 8, 1907, her husband died from blood poisoning, the result of an accident. The bereaved wife moved her family to Tobias. A few years later, she kept house for her two brothers, who were farming near Geneva. In 1915, she made a permanant home for her girls at Peru. The home was not broken up until both girls were graduated from the normal school. In 1924 Mrs. Yeck went to DeWitt, and for five years made her home with her daughter Hildegarde and her son-in-law, Samuel Rowley. After 1929, she made her home with both daughters, living part of her time with her daughter Helen and her son-in-law, Edwin Roessler, at Wilcox and the rest of the time with her daughter Hildegarde at Detroit, Michigan. Recently after she had visited with friends and relatives at Geneva, Milligan and DeWitt, she went to Detroit and submitted to a major operation. Her progress was satisfactory and complete recovery was confidently expected. Wednesday evening, June 26, 1935, she suddenly breathed her last and passed on to her heavely home. A blood clot in her lungs was the immediate cause of her death. Always a devoted and loving mother, she leaves to mourn her sudden departure her daughters Hildegarde Rowley of Detroit and Helen Roessler of Wilcox, Neb. She leaves three little grandsons, Raymond Kent Rowley and Larry Dean and Dennis Lee Roessler of Wilcox. She leaves her aged mother Mrs. Rousy Matejovsky of Geneva, and three sisters, Mrs. Mary Sluka of Lincoln, Mrs. Joseph Posvar of Pender, and Mrs. Burton Redmond of Vetal, S.D., three brothers, Gust Janda of Fairmont, Vincent Janda of Rapid City, S.D. and Edward Matejovsky of Milligan. Besides these immediate relatives there are her husband's relatives, her nephews and nieces, and a large circle of friends. (Transcribed from a clipping provided by Sharon Nemeth)

  Janda Children of Nebraska, ca 1901 Sharon Nemeth writes that "from left to right are, Anna (the younger surviving daughter of Josef Janda and his first wife, Josefa Rejsek), Estella "Staza" (the daughter of Josef Janda and Rousy Hranac), Joseph Sr. (oldest son of Josef and Rousy--"Pepik" is written below his image); Vincent (youngest son of Josef and Rousy); Gust (middle son of Josef and Rousy--it looks like "Gustav" or "Gustus" is written below his image)and finally Emma Hranac, Rousy's eldest daughter, born prior to her marriage to Josef Janda. Josef's eldest son Frank Janda was not in the photo, probably due to being in Canada, and daughter Mary was missing as well, a mystery as she was the one that commissioned the photo to be taken. Daughters Antonie and Alice died young, prior to this photos, and also missing were Rousy's children from her later marriage to Joseph Matejovsky, Agnes, Stanley and Edward.
