Posz, Albert Daniel, who is successfully engaged in the produce business
in Plainview, as a member of the firm of H. J. O'Connell & Co., was born
in Covington, Ky., February 15, 1878, son of Jacob and Katherine (Nuss)
Posz. He was but an infant of one year when he was brought by his parents
to Lewiston, Minn., where he subsequently attended the public schools. He
began industrial life as fireman on the Chicago & Northwestern Railway,
being thus occupied for two years, during which time he resided at Huron,
S. D. Then returning to Lewiston, he engaged in the meat business, which
he followed there until 1907. In that year he went to Independence, Benton
County, Ore., and was there associated in the meat business with his
brother-in-law, J. P. Linden, until the following year, after which he
followed the same business in Lewiston, Minn., until 1911. He then came to
Plainview, where he was associated with his brother Charles in the produce
business until the spring of 1912, and during the next two years he was in
the same business for himself. In 1916, Mr. Posz became a partner in the
firm of H. J. O'Connell & Co., produce merchants, and has so continued up
to the present time. The firm does a very flourishing business in buying
and shipping various kinds of produce to the amount of about 300 car loads
a season. They also grow about 40 acres of produce themselves yearly, and
are one of the many thriving houses of this kind in Plainview. Mr. Posz is
a Royal Arch Mason, and belongs also to the Odd Fellows, the Modern
Woodmen of America, and the Yeomen. He was married, November 3, 1907, to
Mary E. Gaylord, of Nebraska, who was born May 23, 1889. The children of
this marriage are: Everett D., born January 20, 1911; Mary E., born
October 25, 1912, and Dosey, born May 28, 1916. Mr. Posz and his family
attend the Congregational church.
