and Cornelius, knew him in the
'alter purt of the sixties and
seventies, when he taught music.
He instructed one of the first
tiands organized in Washincton

edge of music as then taught
and written Adolph Honzaik,
an Oak Park pioneer, who came
from the same place in Bohemia,
played with him in the early
days.
Sedlak came to the United
States about 1864. In 1867 he
came to Oak Park and settled on
he river, in between the Tuala
tin and Dairy Creek, taking over
300 acres. The John Koehnke
place, the Wohlers place and
several other tracts were cut out
of the place. He sold out oyer
30 years ago and moved to Tua
latin.
He was born at Restok. Bo
hemia. 82 years ago last Septem
ber. He was fairly well educated
in his own language, and was
persistent in the study of English
after settling here. He became
a proficient reader.
He was a bachelor, and was an
uncle of the late Mrs. Adolph
Honzaik; of Mrs. Thos. Gheen.
Mrs. Sam Stephens and Mrs.
Luderaia Anderson, all of Hills
boro. A brother in Europe sur
vives. A brother, Joreph, was
one of the hrst instructors of
music in Portland.
Justice Schamoni, of Tualatin.
held an inquest over the body,
Friday, and the coroner's verdict
was that death ensued from sui
cide.
Sedlak had paid for his crema
tion during his lifetime, being a
subscriber to the Portland Cre
matorium when it was first or
ganized. The body was taken to
Portland Saturday and the re
mains cremated.
He was in every respect a
ikable old gentleman.
