Bohemia Woman Collapses At Father's Bier, Dies
A 54-year-old woman collapsed in a funeral chapel Wednesday in the midst of her bereaved family and was rushed to Dr. King's Hospital, Bay Shore, where she died yesterday 36 hours after suffering the loss of her father.
Double funeral services will be conducted Sunday afternoon for Mrs. Bertha Helen Eis and her father, Stanislav Albrecht, 78. Mrs. Eis, who made her home in Bohemia for the past 31 years, collapsed at the William J. E. Adamec Funeral Chapel Wednesday at about 3:30 p.m.
Dr. Alfred Viessman treated her at the chapel and the Bohemia Fire Department assisted before Mrs. Eis was taken to the hospital in the community ambulance. She had apparently suffered a stroke, the same ailment which took the life of her father, and died at about 6:30 p.m., yesterday.
Mr. Albrecht suffered a stroke Monday and lingered in a paralyzed state until 6:45 p.m. Tuesday when he died at his home on Smithtown Avenue where he lived with Mrs. Eis and her husband, Louis.
He was born in Zirovnice, Czechoslovakia, and September 22nd, 1877 and came to the United States in 1892. Before moving to Bohemia with his family in 1925, he lived in Winfield where he was a manufacturer of pearl buttons in partnership with his brother.
He was a member of Lodge Jeronym No. 120, U.S.A., of New York. His wife, Marie, died in October, 1942. Mr. Albrecht is survived by three sons, Gerald, of Brooklyn, Stanley and Edward, of Bohemia, and two daughters, Mrs. Lawrence Veprovsky and Mrs. H. Arthur Krepela, both of Bohemia, 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Eis was born in New York City and was a member of Lodge Rohac z Dube, No. 190, C.S.A. Besides her husband, brothers and sisters, she leaves a daughter, Miss Eleanor Eis, now in training at St. Luke's Hospital, New York.
The Rev. Robert T. Hollett, vicar of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Bohemia, will conduct services Sunday at two p.m. at the Adamec Funeral Chapel. Interment will be in the family plot in Union Cemetery, Bohemia. _TAG3: YES _TAG4: YES Verified: YES
