Trobec, Rev. James, pastor of St. Felix Catholic church, is a native of
Austria. His studies were pursued at his native university, where he
completed his classical and part of his theological course, and in 1864
removed to America. He completed his theological course at St. Vincent's,
Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, and was ordained the following year at
St. Paul, in this state. His first parish was Belle Plaine, Morrison
county, the services being held in French, and the congregation a mixture
of Canadians, Indians and half-breeds. In October, 1866, Father Trobec was
assigned to the parish here, and has now been seventeen years in charge,
during which time, as appears from the records of the church, his work has
been eminently successful.
