Frank Huber

FRANK M. HUBER*  is a representative of a class of German-American citizens who have done so much in advancing general progress and at the same time have gained for themselves gratifying prosperity through the exercise of business activity. He was born in Bavaria on the 25th of July, 1862, and the days of his boyhood and youth were quietly passed unmarked by any event of special importance to vary the routine of life during that period.

On the 20th of August, 1893, however, he was married, the lady of his choice being Miss Nellie Strunk, a daughter of Henry Strunk. Three children graced this marriage, Nellie, Mary and Herman. In order to provide for his. family Mr. Huber follows agricultural pursuits and is the owner of one hundred and sixty acres of land in Yankton county. 

The improvements upon this place stand as monuments to his enterprise, labor and progressive spirit. The farm is pleasantly located not far from Jamesville and he is successfully engaged in the raising of hogs of the Poland-China breed and also shorthorn cattle. Nearly all of the buildings upon his place have been erected by him and that the farm is today a well-improved and valuable property is the result of his untiring industry, perseverance and capable management. Annually his labors bring him a desirable financial return. 

Mr. Huber exercises his right of franchise in support of the men and measures of the Democratic party. He has served as school clerk for several years, but has never been active in the sense of office seeking, preferring to devote his time and energies to his business affairs. He is a communicant of the Catholic church and is a public- -spirited man whose life has been upright and honorable and those actions have brought to him the merited return of well directed labor.
