He was reared in the Shiner community, and in 1921 was married to Mrs. Pauline Havel, nee Hrncirik. The couple first made their home at Shiner. In 1936, the family moved to Gonzales County, and, after two years, returned to Shiner. Later they moved to the Petersville community. His usual occupation was that of farming. His wife, Mrs. Pauline Kurtz, passed away on February 28, 1946. After this, he made his home with his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Vinklarek and family in Yoakum.
