21840 I24598  Stedham  Elvira "Viola" Elizabeth  22 May 1873  26 May 1956  0  Melba Gene McLemore has her as married three times: (1) Wilbert H. KENYON (a/k/a W. H. GARLAND) on 28 Oct 1886 in El Paso (in a double wedding with her brother, George Keton Stedham at the county jail); (2) F. S. HANSON on 28 Nov 1887 in Ulvalde, and finally (3) Elmer Harley MAUK on 17 Jan 1916. As her name on the marriage certificate to Elmer Mauk was Viola Rucker, it appears she may have had another marriage between the one to F. S. Hanson and Elmer Mauk.

Elvira's mother had to sign a consent for Elvira to marry Wilbert Kenyon. Lucretia stated that Wilbert Kenyon was 26 and Elvira was age 16...although it appears she was actually only 13....and that there was no legal objection to the Marriage of said Kenyon and Miss Elvira Stedham.

Melba Gene McLemore provided the following obituary, which she in turn received from a Stedham researcher (nora31@aol.com).

Mrs. Elvira Mauk

Graveside funeral services for Mrs. Elvira Elizabeth Mauk, 83, of 2010 Magnolia Ave., who died in a local hospital Saturday, will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in Evergreen Cemetery with Bishop H.E. Turley officiating. Burial will be under the direction of Martin Mortuary.

Goldie Marie (Steinacher) Matejka, 82 years of age of Crete, passed away on January 10, 2012 at Tabitha Care Center of Crete, NE. Goldie was born March 5, 1929 to Tillie (Soukup) and Valentine Steinacher. Goldie was the eldest of four children. She attended school at Milligan.

On July 7th, 1949 she married William "Bill" Matejka. Three children were born to this union, Leonard, Don and Lori. The family lived in the Geneva/Milligan area until settling in Dorchester in 1967 until moving to Crete in 1997.

Goldie loved to cook and bake. Her specialty was kolaches and dinner rolls. She shared with her family that she made 30 dozen kolaches in one day and she thought she would never get done making those on that day. She had the talent and training to extend a helping hand to others as she volunteered with the Blue Valley organization for many years. She enjoyed playing Bingo and attending auctions with Bill. They would travel to all the local area farmers markets and sell their produce from their garden. She had such a collection of recipes that she published her own cookbook. She was proud of her accomplishments and loved sharing stories with others.

Goldie would open her home to anybody who needed a place to get a bite of food or need someone to visit with. She always had company at her apartment at Centennial Terrace when family would stop for a visit. Holidays were important for Goldie.
