About Robert Zinda

ROB'T. ZINDA SR. PASSED AWAY AT AGE OF 69 YEARS Was Highly Respected Citizen and Business Man of Ivanhoe the Past Twenty-Three Years Robert O. Zinda Sr. passed from this life on Thursday morning, March 18, at his home here, death being due to cancer. He was at the time of his death 68 years, 11 months, and 11 days of age. He had been ailing for about a year, with the last six months finding him losing strength and vitality very rapidly in his struggle against the incurable cancer. Robert Zinda was born in the province of Posen, German Poland, on April 7, 1868, where he spent the first few years of his early childhood. At the age of nine years he immigrated to this country with his parents, the family coming directly to Minnesota. They first established themselves at Hastings, Minn., where a goodly portion of his youth was spent, and later moved to Appleton Minn., where the deceased grew to young manhood. On February 10, 1892 he was united in marriage to Miss Christine Pretrowski at Appleton, and the young couple set up a home in Westbrook township, Swift county, where he engaged in farming for a period of fifteen years. The Zinda family then moved to Halloway, Minn., where the deceased conducted a public barroom for eight years. In June, 1914, this business establishment was sold and the family moved to Ivanhoe where Mr. Zinda purchased his present business from John Sperka. For the past twenty- three years the Zinda family has made its home here, and during that span of time Robert Zinda has been a business man, kindly neighbor, and jovial friend in this community. He leaves behind him many friends who will long remember his cheery person. Old and young of this community will always associate a pleasant greeting and a jovial smile with that character and name which is no longer with us. As a husband and a father he held the absolute devotion and affection of a family who will miss him greatly. As a neighbor and a citizen he held the good wishes and kind thoughts of all who knew him. This was evidenced by the trust which was placed in him, and for the past few years he enjoyed a position as member of the village council. His life-span had been a comparatively long one on this earth, and its completion, though a sad one and an untimely one, marks the end of an individual who had found success in a quiet manner, and enjoyed the serene and peaceful surroundings of a well-established home and a host of friends. His later years must have been those of satisfaction. To the above union thirteen children were born, all of whom survive their father. They are: Mrs. M. C. Maza, of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Stanley Blaszak, Porter; Anton Zinda, Ivanhoe; Harry Zinda, Ivanhoe; Leon Zinda, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Wm. Giles, Los Angeles, Calif.; Louis Zinda, Chicago, Ill.; Alexander Zinda, Santa Ana, Calif.; Mrs Arthur E. Speight, Porter; Robert Zinda Jr., Ivanhoe; and Walter, Stanley, and Roy of Ivanhoe. He is also survived by five brothers as follows: Bernard, Joseph, and Martin of Wibaux, Mont.; Frank, Sauk Center, Minn.; and Mike, Appleton, Minn., and by sixteen grandchildren. All of the children attended the funeral of their father with the exception of Mrs. Wm. Giles, of Los Angeles, Calif., who was unable to come because of illness. Out-of-town relatives who attended last rites, which were held in SS Peter and Paul Catholic Church of Ivanhoe Saturday morning at 7 o'clock, were: Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Maza of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Zinda of Chicago; Alexander Zinda of Santa Ana, Calif.; and Anna, John, and Sam Zinda of Appleton , Minn., the latter three being a niece and two nephews of the deceased. Pallbearers were members of the village council, as follows: Sam Qualley, John Muchlinski, Frank Kluczny, and Leo Stellmach; and John Pukrop and John Froegel. To the surviving wife and children who are left to mourn the departure of a loving husband and father, sympathy of a host of friends, in which the Times wishes to be numbered, is extended in their hour of bereavement. Card of Thanks. We wish to extend our most sincere thanks to the many neighbors and friends who were so extremely kind to us during the illness and death of our husband and father. For the many kind deeds which were extended, and the many floral offerings and spiritual bouquets which were given, do we especially wish to show our gratitude. They are all deeply appreciated. Mrs. Robert Zinda and Children
