Bio

Native Nebraskan of Bohemian descent, and a successful farmer whose bio can be found in the book "Past and Present of Saunders County, Nebraska", pg 220 & 221. JOSEPH A. MACH, Jr. Joseph A. Mach, Jr., is a native son of Saunders county and has always resided here, believing that the county offers as good opportunities to the agriculturist as any other region. His birth occurred on section 13, Elk township, on the 28th of February, 1882, and he is a son of Joseph A. Mach, a native of Bohemia, who emigrated to the United States in 1875. The father at once made his way to Nebraska and homesteaded eighty acres in Elk precinct, Saunders county. He immediately began the development of his farm and as the years passed his resources increased and he at length purchased an additional eighty acres. Throughout his active life he engaged in general farming but in 1911 he retired and removed to Prague, where he is now living. Joseph A. Mach, Jr., divided his time during his boyhood and youth between attending the public schools and helping his father with the work of the farm. He thus early became familiar with practical methods of agriculture and also gained valuable training in habits of industry and perseverance. In 1909 his father gave him the home place, which he has since operated independently and from which he derives a good income. He does general farming, raising both grain and stock. He is systematic and progressive and has never had occasion to regret his choice of an occupation as he has found farming both congenial and profitable. On the 18th of November, 1909, Mr. Mach was united in marriage to Miss Jessie Mach, a daughter of Joseph and Katherine Mach. A son and daughter have been born to this marriage, namely, Augusta and Ernest. Mr. Mach casts his ballot in support of the men and measures of the democratic party but has never sought office as a reward for his fealty. Fraternally he is connected with the Prague lodge of the Z. C. B. J., a Bohemian society. He is one of the well known and highly esteemed young farmers of the county and has already gained a gratifying measure of prosperity. He has thoroughly identified his interests with those of his native county and is always ready to cooperate in movements seeking the public welfare.
