JOSEPH HOBZA. Joseph Hobza, who gains a gratifying income from his good farm of one hundred and twenty acres on section 25, Chester precinct, is one of the representative and progressive agriculturists of the county. A native of Bohemia, his birth occurred on the 6th of January, 1865, and he is a son of Frank and Antonio Hobza. They continued to reside in Bohemia until 1883, when, wishing to take advantage of the opportunities of the new world, they emigrated to the United States. They came to Saunders county, Nebraska, and settled in Douglas precinct, where the father worked as a farm hand for about five years, but at the end of that time he was able to purchase a quarter section of land in Douglas precinct, which he farmed for about fifteen years. He then purchased the one hundred and twenty acres in Chester precinct on which our subject now resides. The father's demise occurred in July, 1911, but the mother is still living and resides in Wahoo. Joseph Hobza received his education in the schools of Bohemia and of Chester precinct, this county, and after putting aside his textbooks began working for others. During that time he became thoroughly familiar with the best methods of farming and when his father gave him his present farm of one hundred and twenty acres he was thoroughly fitted to operate it successfully. He has brought the place to a high state of development and keeps everything in excellent repair. He raises grain and also breeds a good grade of cattle and hogs, from the sale of which he receives a gratifying addition to his income. Mr. Hobza was united in marriage, on the 16th of January, 1900, to Miss Mary Burda, whose parents were Joseph and Mary Burda. To this union were born six children: Agnes, Sophia, Joseph, Mary, Burney, and Helen, who died in infancy. The wife and mother passed away in 1911 and her demise was deeply regretted not only by her family but by her many friends. On the 8th of October, 1912, Mr. Hobza was again married. Miss Frances Belovic becoming his wife. She is a daughter of Frank and Anna Belovic, and has become the mother of two children, Rosa and Peter. Mr. Hobza votes the democratic ticket but has confined his political activity to the exercise of the franchise. His membership in the Roman Catholic church indicates the principles which govern his conduct, and his salient qualities are such that he has gained both the respect and the warm regard of those who have been associated with him.
