Anton Bartunek Drops Dead on Street Wednesday
Aged Ord Man has Heart Attack; Dies Instantly
While chatting with an acquaintance on the streets of Ord Wednesday morning, Anton Bartunek, 80, collapsed and died. Dr. R. J. Lynn, who was called said that death was due to a heart attack and that the aged man died instantly.
Mr. Bartunek is survived by his wife, a son Leo, and a daughter, Mrs. Kathleen Gilham of Lincoln. Funeral arrangements have not as yet been made.
Mr. Bartunek was a pioneer resident of Ord, and at the turn of the century operated a general store known as Bartunek Bros., in the location where the Absalon Variety is now. Some time later he moved to the Springdale neighborhood where he farmed for a number of years. Upon retirement he moved to Ord and for years operated a harness repair shop.
Mr. Bartunek was one of the last of a group of grand old pioneers. A complete obituary will be published next week.

Anton Bartunek, third child of Joseph and Katherine Bartunek was born May 8, 1873, in Czechoslovakia, and died suddenly on the streets of Ord, May 23, 1951, at the age of 78 years and 15 days.

At the age of 12 years, Anton entered upon an apprenticeship in the harness making business at St. Paul, and in 1892 he and his older brother, Jack, opened a harness shop there. Two years later the shop was totally destroyed by a fire which consumed an entire block.
