Surviving are his three sons; Fred at home, Arthur of Monticello and Walter of Valparaiso; and three daughters, Dora at home, Mrs. Ruth Douglas of San Pierre and Mrs. Lillian Hamay of Chicago;, seven grandchildren, one brother, Fred Batzka of San Pierre, three sisters: Theresa Reynolds, Lizzie Baske and Martha Waddell, all of California; also a number of other relatives and numerous friends. One brother preceded him in death at an early age.
Robert Batzka was born November 22, 1874 in Germany, the son of John and Amelia Batzka, reaching the age of 74 years, 20 days at the time of his demise, December 12, 1948.
On January 11, 1900, he was united in marriage to Huldha Kalinke, who preceded him in death in 1920. Six children were born to this union, all of whom survive.
Funeral services were held from the McCormick Mortuary at North Judson on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. J. A. Hornick of the North Judson Methodist church officiating. Interment was in the San Pierre cemetery.
"Come to my help, O Master! once in sorrow
My more than brother-King of Glory now;
Even in my tears a gleam of hope I borrow
From the deep scars around Thy radiant brow."
