Feb. 1849 Josepha Preissler , so his son is legal Anton Legler. Mr. Anton Legler is known throughout the county as the leader of the famous Bridge Valley Music Band. In 1892 his band received first prize at the Battle of Flowers' festival at San Antonio. He was born August 6, 1848, at Neustadtl on Tafelfichte Mount in Bohemia. He was educated in the public school of that place and then learned the weaver trade. He early loved music, showed a great talent for it, studied it and soon became an accomplished musician. Bohemia, his home, is world-farqous for good musicians. In 1871 he married Miss Anna Hanisch in that country. He immigrated with his family to the United States in 1873, worked first in the La Grange brewery on the Bluff and then settled on the school land on the Bluff. He had a small farm of only fifty acres. But by thrift and industry he saved money and in 1885 he bought a large place in Bridge Valley. In 1898 he established a saloon and mercantile business at that place. As a business man he has been very successful and established a reputation for honesty and reliability. He was also appointed postmaster of Bridge Valley. Lately he has also bought a place at Plum where he intends to open a mercantile establishment. The life of Mr. A. Legler furnishes one of the many examples where a German though landing in this country with very limited means, by industry, economy and business talent has worked himself up to a station which commands the respect of his fellow citizens. Mr. Legler is one of those immigrants of whom one may truthfully say that they are an acquisition to this country. He is a good citizen and takes a great interest in public affairs. Very often he has taken a leading part in the discussion of public questions. and he explains his views with an ability and force possessed only by a man of honest convictions.
