  	Notes From Melnik Another Pioneer Passes Away Death came to John Zeman, a pioneer resident of this place while he was entertaining neighbors and was seated at a table engaged in a friendy game of cards. Mr. Zeman suffered two strokes within a few minutes and died almost instantly, the frist stroke having affected his left side and the second and fatal one reaching his heart. Mr. Zeman was about 76 years of age and died at the home of his son Stephen on the farm which had been the Zeman homestead for nearly half a century, the late John Zeman having located on the farm when he came to Manitowoc county in 1866 at which time he took up a 40 acre timber tract which he cleared and added to until now the farm of 140 acres is one of the beset improved farms in the county. Mr. Zeman was born in Bohemia and with his wife came here about 40 years ago. Mrs. Zeman died about 5 months ago. The couple celebrated their golden wedding April 30, 1910. Ten children survive Mr. Zeman whose six sons officiated as pall bearers at the funeral Tuesday as they did at the burial of their mother a few months ago. The funeral was held from the late home last Tuesday forenoon with interment in the Czeck(sic) National Cemetery near Francis Creek. Our Sympathy goes out of the offlicted family in their sad bereavement. The Manitowoc Pilot Thu, Jan 21, 1915 ·Page 8
