Obituary: Edward Tenk was Kora Tenk's brother. Edward and Kora's parents (who are buried in the Czech cemetery in Table Rock) emigrated to the U.S. from Czech and were strict Catholics. We believe that when Kora married Baid Dee Brock that her family disowned her. As a result, we have very little information about the Tenk family and would really like to know more about them. We understand that many of them are buried in the Czech cemetery in Table Rock.
