Edward Frank NEMEC

1887 - 1951  (64 years)

• Name	Edward Frank NEMEC  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
  Birth	13 Feb 1887	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, USA   [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  Gender	Male
  Census	1 Jun 1900	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, USA   [15]
  Census	28 Apr 1910	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, USA   [1]
  Census	2 Apr 1930	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, USA   [3]
  	It is interesting that in 1930 Edward's neighbors were John and Anna SWOBODA. This has to be a coincidence as Vaclav SVOBODA passed away between 1902 and 1910 (most likely in Wyoming) and Anna did not remarry. On the same census page a few doors down is the Frank SWOBODA family as well.
  Census	17 Apr 1940	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, USA   [4]
  Census	6 Apr 1950	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, USA   [14]
  Death	9 Sep 1951	Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, USA   [2, 13]
  	04 Jan 2024 - Edward's obituary oddly omits his sister Lucy who was still living at the time.
  Burial	1 Oct 1951	Calvary Cemetery/Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, USA   [2, 13, 16]
  	54569327 04 Jan 2024 - It is interesting to note that Edward's obituary states he was buried at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery when in fact he is buried in Calvary Cemetery. Burial date was calculated based on the premise that Edward's obituary was published on 30 Sep and states that the funeral is "Monday".
