	FRANK KOZAK was born in Bohemia, and there his boyhood and youth 
were passed and his education was also there acquired. He continued to 
reside in the old world until thirty-two years of age, when he crossed 
the Atlantic to America and made his way to Decatur. Here he secured 
land and has since devoted his energies to its cultivation and 
improvement, making it a valuable farm. He has placed excellent 
buildings upon his land and has carried on stock raising on an 
extensive scale. He is an excellent judge of stock and on the market 
has received very gratifying prices for the stock which has been 
shipped from his farm.

	Ere leaving his native land Mr. Kozak was united in marriage to 
Miss Josie Jinbor and unto them have been born three children. Mr. 
Kozak and his family are members of the Roman Catholic church.
