Montana Preservation Alliance Danvers Touchstone Project Interview with Ruth (Thomas) Tucek by Jeana Ganskop Interviewer: Ganskop, Jeana Interviewee: Tucek, Ruth (Thomas) Date: July 20, 2012 Location of Interview: 127 B Street, Lewistown, Montana Archive or Library Repository: Lewistown Public Library, Lewistown, MT Description: Ruth (Thomas) Tucek was born on May 23, 1927 and grew up in Moore, Montana, a small town outside of Lewistown. A job teaching school brought her to Danvers, Montana where she met her husband, James Tucek, and was involved in the Women's Club and a member of the St. Wenceslaus Church. Danvers is a small agricultural community settled largely by Bohemian Catholics and located on the Milwaukee Road. St. Wenceslaus Church, a symbol of the Bohemian religious and cultural heritage, was built in 1916. Much of the town's social gatherings revolved around the church and the hall located across the road. Mrs. Tucek's recollections describe life in a small rural Montana town and how social organizations like the church and the women's club were important venues for seeing neighbors and learning new things. Particularly interesting are her stories about what the women's club was and what it was like to marry into a Bohemian Catholic family. Mrs. Tucek speaks very clearly and I have been able to transcribe most of the interview as is; however, I have occasionally removed unnecessary conjunctions. While her words are clear in the transcript, the text fails to convey the emotion behind them. For a richer understanding of the interview, researchers should consult the audio recordings.
