Bio

Joseph Subrt, a prosperous farmer of Section 22, Bear Lake Township, was born in Bohemia, July 13, 1876, the son of Frank and Mary (Barta) Subrt, also natives of that country. The family came to America in 1889, and settled in Boxbutte County, in the western part of Nebraska, on a homestead on which the father proved up and received his deed. In 1896 he sold out for fifty cents an acre. Then he went to Colfax County, in the same state, where he rented a farm for seven years. In 1903 the family came to Barron County, and Joseph and his brother, Rudolph, bought 320 acres in Section 22, Bear Lake Township. This was then in the real wilderness, no roads had been built, and they had to get onto the land by following the tote roads of the lumber companies. They built a small house and started to clear up the wild cut-over stump land. In 1913, Mr. Subrt built a good barn with full basement and equipped with James stanchions. Later he built a silo and a chicken house. In 1920 he put up a modern house. He has built up a good place, has a well developed farm. and is already well along the road to success. He carries on general farming and dairying, and has a good herd of grade cattle. His business holdings include stock in the Consumers' Store at Rice Lake. Fraternally, he is a member of the W. M. A. and of the Z. C. B. J. He stands well with all who know him, and is regarded as a hard working and substantial citizen. His father, who came here with him, died July 23, 1918, and the mother is living with her daughter, Emma, wife of Burt Modocks. He has held the office of supervisor and assessor and school clerk. The family are "free thinkers" and have monthly meetings with songs, etc., generally held at the Subrt home. Mr. Subrt was married Feb. 14, 1898, at Schuyler, Nebraska, to Emily Mundil, who was born on Aug. 11, 1876, the daughter of Frank and Josie Mundil, natives of Bohemia, both now deceased. This union has been blessed with eight children: Libby, born Dec. 31, 1898, married James Vanek, and has one son, Merwin. Lidia was born March 18, 1900. Albert was born Oct. 23, 1901. Alice was born Feb. 25, 1903. Rosa was born Jan. 25, 1906. Joseph was born Oct. 12, 1907. William Frank was born July 18, 1909. Blanche was born Aug. 30, 1916.
