Then in the next issue is this obituary, presumably the same person, although different first names:

Bohumil Hrasky, 94, formerly of Neillsville, died April 27, at Racine, where he had resided for the last 22 years. He was a retired bricklayer. Funeral services were held Wednesday, April 30, at 2:30 p.m., from the Hanson Funeral Home, in Racine, with the Rev. Dale Hallberg officiating. Burial was made in Graceland Cemetery there.

Mr. Hrasky was born in Czechoslovakia on November 11, 1874, and came to the United States 64 years ago. He moved to the Town of Washburn, where he lived until going to Racine.

Survivors include two sons, William of Neillsville and Anton of Racine; two daughters, Mrs. Agnes Keller of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Mrs. Rose Kauth of Racine; eight grandchildren; and 20 great-grandchildren.

Pallbearers were: Herbert Kauth, Gerald Bartel, Steve Holly, Gerald Borchardt, Sr., Gerald Borchardt, Jr., and Richard Reinhard. Organist was Mrs. Ethel Dawson.
