Agnes Veronica Liska, the daughter of Charles and Emma (Ptacek) Brcka, was born March 6, 1925 on a farm west of Garner. She attended Garfield No. 8 country school and continued her education at Notre Dame Academy in Omaha. Agnes then returned home to help her family on the farm. On January 23, 1946 she was married to John Liska at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Duncan. After their marriage, they moved to Duncan where John was employed at the Brcka General Store. They experienced many moves to acreages while John worked for others, before renting a farm near Crystal Lake, where they farmed for several years. John also had his own trucking business and Agnes helped as a driver when needed. They bought a home in Hayfield in 1967 where they resided the rest of their married life. After John passed away in 2005, Agnes continued to live in Hayfield. She was an excellent seamstress and creative lady with her hands. Agnes enjoyed her family, baking, dancing and especially playing cards with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
