MISS JULIA KOSTA

Julia Kosta, daughter of Joseph and Mary Kosta, departed this life at the age of 19 years, 4 months and 15 days. She was a loving child and sister. For love of war orphans she denied herself of proper nourishment and over-worked herself, which weakened her bodily but strengthened her spiritually. Because of her great love for Jesus she entered the Convent, at Marie Stein, Ohio, Dec. 27, 1918. On June 23, 1920, she returned home to be with her loved ones before she answered the call of her loving Jesus. Jesus rewarded her with patience in her sufferings so much that when asked if her feet pained' her, she answered, “Jesus’ feet hurt more before he died.” She answered the call of Jesus at 6 a. m. Friday, Aug. 20, 1920. Funeral services were held at St Augustine’s Catholic church at 3 p. m., Sunday. Rev. Father L. J. Schirack delivered a very touching sermon and the remains were laid to rest in Mt. Calvary cemetery. A large number of relatives and friends, besides her parents, two brothers and eight sisters, who were all present, attended the last services and the funeral procession was an extremely long one. Those from distant points were, Mrs. Jos Stastny, Messrs. Jos. Marn, Charles Kroupa, Jos. Ravlin, Frank Rozhon and Vincent Jirousek, all of Chicago.
