Thanks, all good now.
An obituary written by Margaret (Ballek) Munkacsy of William Bela Munkacsy, a Hungarian-American IWW member who passed away in November 1970. Originally appeared in the Industrial Worker (February 1971).
Again we lost a strong supporter of the IWW and its varied institutions – this time perhaps the last Hungarian Wobbly in South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
William Bela Munkacsy joined the IWW in his younger days. The home of the Munkacsys has always been an open house to Wobbly organizers who did not want to give up hope that some day they might have an IWW closed shop at Bethlehem Steel.
Bela was a craftsman and an electrician, and when the Industrial Union movement did not develop to his liking in the mills, he became self-employed. This gave him more time to spread the cause of labor.
Bela was ailing for the past few years, but we never weakened in his Industrial Union principles. Funeral services were private. He was 74 years old. Since the Industrial Worker was his favorite reading I am sending $25 to its sustaining fund in his memory
Mrs. William Munkacsy

An obituary written by Charles Velsek of John Neufeld, an IWW member of almost 50 years. Originally appeared in the Industrial Worker (June 1971).
John Neufeld, a member of the IWW, passed away in Chicago in April after ailing for several years. He was born in Canada and reared as a Mennonite. During his youth he became aware of social and ecnomic conditions that he seemed to think needed changing.
Neufeld was first a member of the One Big Union of Canada. In 1923 he came to the United States and also joined the IWW. He belonged to both unions for a while, but decided that as we would remain in the US he would be active in the IWW.
In 1926 he became secretary of the GRU [1] branch in Minneapolis and helped maintain a hall on the West Side until the Colorado coal-mine campaign began to bear fruit in 1927. By then he became a GOC [2] member of the GRU and went to Colorado to lend a hand. He remained there until the strike was settled.
During the Depression he was active in the Industrial Workers Unemployed Union of Chicago, and he remained active in that group until it dissolved. He held continuous membership in the IWW from 1923 until his passing. He will be missed.
