Bergant, John Sr. (1875 - 1960)


GREENWOOD--One of the first settlers in the Willard, Clark County area, John Bergant Sr., died Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock at Memorial Hospital in Neillsville, where he had been a patient for a week, due to a heart ailment. He was 85 years of age.


Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Hill Funeral Home, where friends may call beginning Tuesday afternoon. Services will be conducted by Joseph F. Slemec, president of the Slovenian National Benefit Society.


Mr. Bergant was born July 22, 1875 in Yugoslavia. He came to this country in Jan. 1901 and settled in Ely, Minn. In 1914 he began farming in the Willard area and also worked as a carpenter. His marriage to the former Margaret Gornick, took place May 22, 1922 in Eveleth, Minn. They retired from farming in 1950 and moved to the village of Willard. He was a member of the Slovenian National Benefit Society.


His wife survives him, as well as a son, John Jr., Milwaukee three daughters, (the rest of my copy was cut off).
