P.JOSEPH NETT
	P. Joseph Nett. The castled hills of classical Coblentz on the 
banks of the winding Rhine are very familiar scenes to the subject of 
this article. For he born there July 1,1851,the son of Michael and Anna
(Klas)Nett,natives also of Germany where the father died.The mother still 
lives in the old home place. The eight children of this worthy couple are 
mentioned in this volume elsewhere. The pub-school of his native place 
gave Joseph his education and until 1880 he served with his father as a 
dutiful son. Then being thirty years of age he came Stearns county,Minnesota,
believing that the open fields of the new world offered better opportunities 
for the young and vigorous blood. Two years later we find him in Spokane 
county,and on Division street,four miles north from the center of Spokane,
he took a homestead,which property he still owns.Five years later he went 
to Stevens county,and settled on a homestead owned by his wife, where they 
now live.
   The estate is welled improved and Mr.Nett does general farming and stock
raising. 
   In 1890,Mr.Nett married Miss Elizabeth,daughter of Jacob and Barbara(Keim)
Dietrick,natives of Germany.They came to the United States in 1843 and 
located in Sullivan county,New York,where they remained thirty-eight years. 
Mrs.Nett was born April 29,1866,and has followed the brothers and sisters,
George M.,John S.,Maggie Schroder,and Mary Lotz. One child,Eva J.,has been 
born to Mr.and Mrs.Nett. Mr.Nett is a Democrat and a school director,while 
he and his wife are members of the Catholic church. In addition to the 
property already mentioned,Mr.Nett has some mining interests which are very 
promising. He is considered one of the substantial and capable men of the 
community.
