Bio
HUBERT JANDA. Hubert Janda, a furniture dealer and undertaker of Weston, was born in Moravia, Austria, November 2, 1871, a son of Thomas and Frances (Chyba) Janda, both likewise natives of Moravia. In 1876 the family came to the United States and, making their way across the country, settled at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, where they resided for some time, after which they lived successively in Saunders, Saline and Douglas counties, this state. The father was a cabinet maker and carpenter and in addition to following his trade carried on agricultural pursuits in Saunders county. He passed away in May, 1911, while living at Plattsmouth with a daughter, and is buried at that place. He had survived his wife for about seven years, her demise occurring June 6, 1904. She was buried at Crete but her remains were subsequently removed to Plattsmouth. To them were born six children: Hubert; Frank, who is in the undertaking business in Omaha; Agnes, the wife of Frank Slavicek, of Plattsmouth; Frances, the wife of Dr. A. E. Pecinovsky, of Valley Falls, Kansas, who is both an osteopath and a holder of the M. D. degree; John, a farmer residing at Gretna, Nebraska; and Joseph, of South Omaha. The three older children were born in Moravia and the others in this country. Hubert Janda received his education in the schools of Plattsmouth and remained at home until he was twenty years of age. When sixteen years old he began learning the machinist's trade, which he followed for nine years, spending six years of that time in Plattsmouth and three in Havelock. For a period of three years, the interval between working at his trade in Plattsmouth and Havelock, he farmed on his own account in Saunders county and later he followed agricultural pursuits in Cass county for two years. At the end of that time, in April, 1901, he embarked in the furniture and undertaking business in Weston and has since continued in those lines. He is also the representative of the Frank Svoboda Monument Company of Omaha, Nebraska, and has prospered in his various business undertakings. In 1909 he erected a fine brick building twenty-six by seventy-five feet in dimensions, which he occupies. In all of his dealings he adheres to high standards of honor and his success is well deserved. On the 16th of February, 1892, Mr. Janda was united in marriage to Miss Marie Donat, also a native of Moravia. They adopted a daughter, Marie, who has passed away, and they have become the parents of five children: Francis, at home; Adolph, deceased; Agnes, who is teaching school and lives at home; and Tresia and Julia, also at home. Mr. Janda casts his ballot in support of the candidates and measures of the republican party and takes a commendable interest in affairs of public moment. Both he and his wife are devout communicants of the Catholic church and he is identified with the Catholic Turners and the Catholic Weston Union Society. He also holds membership in the Ancient Order of United Workmen at Weston.
