1913 Wedding Jennie Korda-2 to John Kubiayk-2

Stevens Point Daily Journal

September 23, 1913

page 1

Married at St. Peter's

Miss Genevieve Susan Corda [Jennie Susan Korda-2], daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Corda [Anton Korda-3 and Susan Czech-3], 661 Prentice street, and John M. Kublick [John Kubiayk-2], son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kublick [Andrew and Katie Kubiaczyk-3] of Antigo, were united in marriage at St. Peter's church, Rev. Father Elbert officiating, at 9 o'clock this morning. The bridesmaid was Miss Marie Corda [Mae Korda-2], sister of the bride, and the best man was Steve Kublick [Steve Kubiayk-2], brother of the groom.

The bride wore a gown of cream brilliantine and carried lillies of the valley and the bridesmaid's dress was of cream marquisette over pink silk and she carried pink roses.

Mr. and Mrs. Kublick left for Antigo for a short visit, after which they will return to this city, where they will make their home.

[Note: I speculate that the names Jennie and Mae were not "Catholic" enough for the nuns at the school or for religious rituals like baptism and weddings so that Genevieve and Marie were Jennie and Mae's "Church names".]

Obituary

Mrs. Anton Korda

Mrs. Anton Korda [Susan Czech-3], 80, one of the early day residents of Stevens Point, died Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the family home at 661 Prentice street. Mr. and Mrs. Korda, who were married nearly 64 years ago, were among the city’s longest married couples.

Mrs. Korda became ill on December 23 and had been confined to bed since. Her husband, a daughter, Mrs. Joseph Swetalla [Josephine Korda-2], and a granddaughter, Mildred Durand [Mildred Durand-1, daughter of Mae Korda-2], were with her at the time of her death.

A native of Germany, Mrs. Korda, whose maiden name was Susan Czech [Susan Czech-3], was born on September 20, 1858. She came to this country in 1875, the same time Mr. Korda [Anton Korda-3] came, and the couple were married a month later in New Jersey. They continued to live in New Jersey for two years and then came to Stevens Point, in 1877, residing here continuously since. Mr. Korda worked in logging camps and saw mills for a time and then entered the employ of the Wisconsin River and Pulp company. Mr. Korda, who is now 90 years of age, was retired 10 years ago on pension after working for the paper company for 40 years. He was a sizemaker.

The Kordas located at the present Prentice street address 56 years ago when the surrounding property was woods and the Indians inhabited the neighborhood. They were the parents of 10 children, nine of whom survive.

Surviving are her husband [Anton Korda-3],

the nine children,

Paul, Frank and Leo Korda[Paul Korda-2,Frank Korda-2,Leo Korda-2] of Chicago.

Mrs. Gussie Skibba [Frank Skibba-2, Gusta Korda-2] of Buhl, Minnesota,

Mrs. Joseph (Josephine) Swetalla [Joseph Swetalla-2, Josephine Korda-2] of Amherst.

Mrs. August (Antoinette) Kirschling [August Kirschling-2, Antoinette Korda-2] of Stockton,

Mrs. Sam (Anna) Collier [Sam Collier-2, Anna Korda-2] of Flint, Michigan,

Mrs. John (Genevieve) Kubjak [John Kubiayk-2, Jennie Korda-2 ] of Oshkosh, and

Mrs. May Durand [Mae Korda-2] at home;

the granddaughter, Mildred Durand [Mildred Durand-1], who had also made her home with her grandparents; 42 other grandchildren, the oldest of whom is John Korda [John Korda-1, Son of John Korda-2], 39, of Stevens Point; 26 great grandchildren, the oldest 18 and the youngest two weeks, and two brothers, Mathias Czech [Mathias Czech-3], age 95, of Sharon, and Paul Czech [Paul Czech-3], 75 residing on Union street. A son, John Korda, Sr.[John Korda-2], died in 1914.

Mrs. Korda was a member of the Rosary society of St. Peter’s church. Known as “Grandma” by all who knew her, her numerous friends included persons of every age. Funeral services will be held Monday morning at 9 o’clock at St. Peter’s church. The body is at the Prais funeral home and will be taken to the family home Sunday noon. The rosary will be said tonight at 7:30 o’clock at the funeral home and Sunday night at 7:30 o’clock at the Korda home.

Overview: Descendents of Anton Korda-3 and Susan Czech-3

It is possible that I still might be missing someone in Generation-1. In his obituary (1941), 44 grandchildren are claimed and I know at least one died before Anton Korda-3.
