Bio

FRANK J. VYBIRAL. Frank J. Vybiral, a prominent real-estate dealer of Wahoo, whose business career is characterized by indefatigable energy and perseverance, was born in Treble, Moravia, June 12, 1874, a son of Frank and Frances (Jirovsky) Vybiral, both of whom were natives of the same locality. In the year 1882 they came with their family to the United States, arriving in May, and from the east they proceeded at once to Nebraska, settling in Saunders county, the father purchasing eighty acres of land near Colon. He at once began the task of tilling the soil and caring for the crops and thereon he successfully engaged in general farming for many years, adding to his land from time to time until he was the owner of three hundred and twenty acres. He then retired and removed to Colon, where he passed away at the age of sixty-eight years. At the time he made his purchase of land he had to incur an indebtedness of four hundred dollars but his indefatigable industry and perseverance enabled him not only to discharge his indebtedness but also to become owner of a valuable property which he gave to his sons, including not only his farm but considerable money. In his political faith he was a democrat, while his religious belief was that of the Catholic church, to which his wife also adhered. She survived him for two years and passed away at the age of sixty-eight years. They were the parents of five children, those besides our subject being: Catherine, the wife of William Fanning, of Colon, Nebraska; Joseph, who met death by accidental shooting when seventeen years of age; John, who follows farming in Center precinct, Saunders county; and Mary, the wife of Matej Cernik, a farmer of Marietta precinct, Saunders county. Frank J. Vybiral spent the first eight years of his life in his native country and then accompanied his parents on the voyage to the new world. He remained under the parental roof until he reached the age of twenty-five years and for a considerable period attended the public schools, spending his vacation periods in farm work and afterward continuing to assist in the further development and improvement of the home farm up to the time of his marriage. He then rented one hundred and sixty acres of the old homestead and at the time of his parents' death inherited that property. Year after year he carefully, persistently and systematically tilled the fields, his labors being attended with good results. He was numbered among the representative farmers of the community and as the years went by he so directed his efforts that he won a creditable measure of success. In 1908, however, he put aside the work of the fields and removed to Wahoo, where he opened a real-estate, loan and insurance office, in which business he has since successfully engaged, being accorded a liberal clientage. On the 28 of January, 1899, Mr. Vybiral was married to Miss Brabec, a native of Saunders county, and a daughter of Mat Brabec, who was born in Moravia and became a prominent farmer of Center precinct, Saunders county. To them have been born nine children, Mary, Frances, Anton, Anastasia, Agnes, Christine, Frank, Caroline and Joseph, all of whom are at home. Mr. Vybiral and his family are all communicants of the Catholic church. In politics he is a democrat and for four years has served as a member of the city council of Wahoo, exercising his official prerogatives in support of many plans and measures for the general good. While living on the farm he served as school director. He stands at all times for progress and improvement and cooperates heartily in many movements that have had direct bearing upon the welfare and upbuilding of the section in which he lives.
