There is no reliable information about her exact year of birth, but it is believed that she was about ten years younger than her husband. Tomo and Ivana had five children; their eldest son was Petar ("Pero"), Rade was their middle son and Jovan ("Joko") was their youngest. The couple's daughters were named Marija and Stana; Marija was married to a Montenegrin chieftain named Andrija Perović, the "serdar" (count) of Cuce, while Stana was married to Filip Đurašković, the "serdar" of Rijeka Crnojevića.
Veljko Petrović (poet)
Veljko Petrović was born in Sombor. His father became an Eastern Orthodox monk, Gerasim Petrović, after his wife died. After graduating from high school in his home town, Veljko went to Budapest to study law. From 1906 to 1907 he was co-editor of "Croatia", a Croatian-Serbian magazine for social, political and economical studies, founded in Budapest. He also worked on various periodicals in Zagreb and Sarajevo. Because of his nationalistic attitude the Austrian authorities forced him to move to Belgrade, where he participated as a war correspondent in both Balkan Wars and World War I, and wrote poetry. Between the wars he was active in cultural and educational affairs and continued to be so until his death in Belgrade in 1967.
