Pogrányi's forty-eighters

The heroes of the Pográny War of Independence lived in the settlement of Egeri puszta or Nemesülés, which was still part of the village at that time. Today, the settlement is part of Kislapás. Originally, it belonged to the Pográny family, later to the Nyáryas (still in the 17th century), and then from 1724 it was inhabited by the Jánokys. The Jánokys built a mausoleum with a chapel in 1880. The brothers Miklós Jánoky (1789-1849), chief notary of Nitra, and György (1795-1855), rest in the Pográny cemetery, their graves marked by the oldest, but damaged, tombstone here. Miklós Jánoky married Anna Madocsányi and they had a total of 7 children. Viktor Jánoky was born on July 5, 1828 and joined the War of Independence, where he became a lieutenant - artillery commander. The name Viktor (= Győző) seems to be common in the family. One of his sisters was called Viktória, and her husband from Kalász, Rudolf Weisz, was a lieutenant colonel after 1948. Viktor Jánoky, who died in 1885, was laid to rest in the family's tomb in Eger. However, there were other 48ers in the Jánoky family. Viktor's brother, Imre Jánoky, who was born on November 2, 1830, served in the 4th Home Guard Battalion and became a sergeant in the 74th Battalion, and a lieutenant on June 13, 1849. After surrendering to the Russian Paszkiewicz at Világos, he died a heroic death on August 25, 1849 near Törökbecse. We should also note that the son of Viktor's other brother, Gyula Jánoky-Madocsányi, Jr. Gyula Jánoky-Madocsányi was the last monarchical chieftain of Nitra and also a member of parliament. His wife, Natália, also came from the aforementioned Weisz family of Kalász. In addition to the forty-eight-year-old Viktor Jánoky, two Gyulas, Johanna, Natália Weisz and their three children are also buried in the mausoleum, which was ransacked and robbed in the past.
