Anton Balog, agriculturists, Section 22, west, Maple Grove Township, was born
in Hungary, Feb. 13, 1890, son of Anton and Margaret (Lambel) Balog, natives 
of Hungary, who came to America in 1905 and lived in Milwaukee until 1912,
when they came to Barron County and bought 120 acres in Dallas Township, where
they cleared some land, erected buildings and fences and still carry on mixed
farming and dairying.  In the family there were four children: Anton, Ika,
Margaret and Charles.  Anton received his education in Hungary and joined his
parents in Milwaukee in 1907.  He came to Barron County with his parents in
1912 and remained with them until 1919, when he purchased his present place 
of 160 acres, where he successfully carries on general farming and dairying,
making a specialty of Holstein cattle.  He is well thought of and highly
regarded. Mr. Balog was married Jan. 25, 1919, to Lillie Hoscheit, who lived 
in Dallas Township, where they settled in 1899.  In the Hocheit family there
are six children:  Elma, Viola, Andrew, Elmer, Clarence, Lillie. Mr. and Mrs. 
Balog have two children Gustav and Philys.
