JOSEPH J. PRIBYL (1884) is the assistant cashier of the Brown National 
Bank of Jackson and has been a resident of the county since he was 
five years of age. He is a native of Budweiss, Bohemia, and was born 
May 19, 1879. His parents are Albert and Mary (Koranda) Pribyl, now 
living in Jackson, aged 66 and 58 years, respectively. 

Joseph Pribyl came to America with his parents in 1883. After ten 
months spent in Chicago the family came to Jackson county, arriving 
in March, 1884. The head of the family bought a farm on section 16, 
Hunter township, and twelve years later one on section 20. Joseph 
lived on the farm with his parents until 1895, receiving an education 
in the country schools and in the Jackson high school. Coming to 
Jackson village, he clerked in Peter Hansen's store eight months and 
then accepted a position in the Bank of Jackson (now the Brown 
National Bank), and has been with that institution ever since, for 
the last eight years as assistant cashier.

Mr. Pribyl is a member of the Catholic church and of the Catholic 
Order of Foresters. He is one of a family of eight children: Charles, 
Joseph J., August, Wesley, Frank, Jerry, Mary, Agnes and Bessie.

The marriage of Mr. Pribyl occurred in Jackson May 27, 1901, when he 
wedded Laura Betlech, a native of Dane county, Wisconsin, and daughter 
of Emil and Sarah (Cerhan) Betlech. Mr. and Mrs. Pribyl are the 
parents of three children: Marie T., Helen F. and Josephine K.
