Bio
JOSEPH ANTON KLIMENT. Joseph Anton Kliment, a member of the Kliment Mercantile Company of Prague, one of the leading business concerns of the town, was born in Elk precinct on the 11th of April, 1881. His father, Anton Kliment, was born in Bohemia, where he followed agricultural pursuits until 1875, when he emigrated with his family to the United States, making his way at once to Saunders county, Nebraska. He purchased eighty acres of land in Elk precinct, paying therefor four dollars per acre, and he continued to farm until he retired from active life and removed to Prague, where both he and his wife passed away, his demise occurring on the 13th of November, 1893. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Marie Vejnar, died some time later. Joseph A. Kliment attended the common schools of Elk precinct in the pursuit of an education and was reared upon the home farm until he reached the age of twelve years, when the family removed to Prague. He began his business career as a clerk in the store of which he is now one of the proprietors. The business was established by J. A. Bastar, who sold out to Joseph Sefranek, who in turn sold out to the Kliment Mercantile Company, which was organized in July, 1909, with the following officers: W. C. Kirschman, president; F. J. Kirschman, vice president; J. G. Hohl, secretary and treasurer; and J. A. Kliment, manager. The company carries a complete and up-to-date stock and has gained a large and profitable trade, as their business policy is a liberal one. The success of the store is due mainly to the enterprise and ability of Mr. Kliment, who is responsible for the management of its affairs. Mr. Kliment married Miss Christie Kaspar, a daughter of Vaclav Kaspar. His political allegiance is given to the republican party, but he has never sought office, and fraternally he is connected with the Z. C. B. J. lodge of Prague. He is recognized as an important factor in the business and commercial life of the town and can always be depended upon to aid in the advancement of his community along material, civic and moral lines.
