	FRANK M. HUBER is a representative of a class of German-American 
citizens who have done so much in advancing general progress and at the 
same time have gained for themselves gratifying prosperity through the 
exercise of business activity. He was born in Bavaria on the 25th of 
July, 1862, and the days of his boyhood and youth were quietly passed 
unmarked by any event of special importance to vary the routine of life 
during that period. On the 20th of August, 1893, however, he was 
married, the lady of his choice being Miss Nellie Strunk, a daughter of 
Henry Strunk. Three children graced this marriage, Nellie, Mary and 
Herman. In order to provide for his. family Mr. Huber follows 
agricultural pursuits and is the owner of one hundred and sixty acres 
of land in Yankton county. The improvements upon this place stand as 
monuments to his enterprise, labor and progressive spirit. The farm is 
pleasantly located not far from Jamesville and he is successfully 
engaged in the raising of hogs of the Poland-China breed and also 
shorthorn cattle. Nearly all of the buildings upon his place have been 
erected by him and that the farm is today a well-improved and valuable 
property is the result of his untiring industry, perseverance and 
capable management. Annually his labors bring him a desirable financial 
return.  

	Mr. Huber exercises his right of franchise in support of the men 
and measures of the Democratic party. He has served as school clerk for 
several years, but has never been active in the sense of office 
seeking, preferring to devote his time and energies to his business 
affairs. He is a communicant of the Catholic church and is a public-
spirited man whose life has been upright and honorable and those 
actions have brought to him the merited return of well directed labor.
