Joseph Horsky
History of the State of Montana, by Joaquim Miller, 1894 

Joseph Horsky, real estate dealer at Helena, Montana, is a native 
of Austria, born October 6, 1842. He spent his youth in his native 
land and emigrated with his parents to this country, settling in 
Johnson County, Iowa, near the city of Cedar Rapids. His early 
education was received in Austria and after their removal to the 
United States he attended school in Iowa and Nebraska, his parents 
having moved from the former state to the latter. From Nebraska 
he went back to Iowa and in 1859 started for Colorado, but at 
this time inducements were offered him to remain in Nebraska, 
which he did and until 1862 was with his parents engaged in farm 
work. 

In 1862 Mr. Horsky went to Colorado and engaged in quartz mining, 
continuing there until January 1864. At that time he returned to 
Omaha for his brother John and together they started for Montana 
arriving in Virginia City on August 27, 1865, when he came to 
Helena, and from that time up to the present he has given his 
attention to the real estate business, having considerable 
property in Helena and also large ranching and stock interests. 

Mr. Horsky was married July 4, 1885 to Lettie Carr and they have 
two daughters. He is a member of King Solomon Lodge and Helena 
Chapter, No. 2 and also of the A.O.U.W. Politically he is a 
Republican but is not a politician and has never been an 
office-holder.
