ANDREW J. LEBERT.

    Andrew J. Lebert, farmer and stockman, living on his fine place of two
hundred and eighty-eight acres in Home township, Brown county, Minnesota, is of
French parentage, having been born in the township where he now resides on
January 21,1867, a son of Joseph and Anna (Vanderest) Lebert, both natives of
France.

    Joseph Lebert came to this country in 1850 and located in the state of
Wisconsin. There he remained but a short time when he moved to St. Paul, relying
the while upon his trade of carpenter for his livelihood. From St. Paul he came
to Redstone, arriving here in 1867 and soon thereafter took up a homestead of
one hundred and sixty acres in Home township, same having no improvements
whatever upon it. However, Joseph Lebert took up his residence there, making a
comfortable home for his family, and continued to farm there until the time of
his death in 1885. There were nine children in the Lebert family, as follow:
Frank, Louis, Mary, Joseph, Louisa, Andrew, John, Anna, and Julia.

    Andrew Lebert received but a limited education in his youth, having access
only to the early schools of his native township and assisted his father with
the work of the home place until eighteen years of age. He then took over the
management of the home place, farmed that himself for a number of years and then
bought other land, bringing the acreage up to his present holdings. He has put
all the improvements on the place, which run up into the thousands of dollars
and has set out about an acre of grove. Mr. Lebert divides his attention between
the raising of grains and live stock, feeding on an average of forty hogs for
the market per year. His trading point' is at Sleepy Eye, a distance of eight
miles.

     On October 19, 1898, Andrew J. Lebert was united in marriage with Amanda
Moll, a daughter of Henry Moll, of New Ulm, and a resident of Brown county. To
their union five children have been born, Edmund, Lottie, Ione, Lloyd and Opal.

     Mr. Lebert attends the Congregational church and gives liberally of his
means toward the support of the work of his organization. His fraternal
affiliation is with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen
of America, through the local lodges of those orders at Sleepy Eye. Mr. Lebert
is an independent voter, having no particular interest in things political, but
anxious always to see the right man in the right place. He is one of the good
citizens of Brown county, a man who has a host of friends, by all of whom he is
held in great respect.
