Bio
ANTON VCULEK. Anton Vculek, who is operating his fine farm of two hundred and forty acres in Elk precinct, is one of the substantial men of Saunders county. He was born on section 32, that precinct, and has passed his entire life here, as he believes that this county offers as good opportunities to the farmer as can be found elsewhere. His parents, Joseph and Pearl (Holubar) Vculek, were born in Bohemia, where they remained until 1869, when they came to the United States and at once made their way to Saunders county, Nebraska. The father took up a homestead on section ? 2, Elk precinct, and devoted the remainder of his life to the improvement of his farm, passing away in 1894. To him and his wife were born eight children: Joseph, who lives in Oklahoma; Frank, a resident of North Dakota; Charles, of Prague, this county; Frances, now Mrs. James Frohner, of Weston; Antonia, now Mrs. Anton Krecke, of Omaha, Nebraska; Josephine, the wife of Joseph Mach, of Prague; Annie, now Mrs. James Houska, of Newman precinct; and Anton. The last named received the usual educational advantages, attending the local schools during his boyhood and youth. During the summers he assisted his father and after putting aside his textbooks devoted his entire time to farm work. For seven years he and his brother Charles operated the homestead in partnership, but since 1902 he has been alone in his agricultural operations. He grows the usual crops and also raises shorthorn cattle, and as he is enterprising and progressive he receives a good income from his farms. In addition to his agricultural interests he holds stock in the Prague Farmers Stock & Grain Company, a well managed and prosperous concern. On the 24th of November, 1902, Mr. Vculek was united in marriage to Miss Mary Krecek, a daughter of John K. Krecek, of South Omaha. Three children have been born to this union, namely: James, Joseph and Helen. The political belief of Mr. Vculek accords with the principles of the democratic party which he supports at the polls. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Plasi church and his influence is always on the side of right and justice. He has gained the respect of all who have been brought in contact with him, and his genuine worth is indicated by the fact that those who have known him intimately since boyhood are his stanchest friends.
