Carl Barta, Section 8, Stanley Township, is one of the best-liked men in
this part of the county, respected and esteemed by the adults, and honored
and beloved by the young folk and children. In working hard, achieving
success and raising a good family of children, he has won for himself a
high place. In personality he is courteous and genial, he enjoys all the
pleasant things of life, he likes a good joke, a good companion, a good
meal, and everyone with whom he comes in contact leaves him cheered and
encouraged. People come to him for advice, and his judgment and good sense
are always sound. He has been an ideal father, and he and his good wife
have taken delight in making their home a pleasant place for their
children, where their children's friends are always welcome. The children,
in turn, have appreciated the advantages they have received, and all are a
credit to their parents and to their home training.

  Carl  Barta  was born in Bohemia, Aug. 15, 1853, the oldest child of Carl
and  Anna  Barta,  who lived and died as farmers in Bohemia. The subject of
this  sketch  came  to  the United States in 1878, and lived a year in Dane
County,  this  state.  Then he located at Bangor, in La Crosse County, this
state.  In 1902 he came to Barron County, and bought 80 acres in Section 8,
Stanley  Township.  This land was partly improved, and a house and barn had
been  erected.  Mr.  Barta has continued the improvements, has added to his
land, and now has a good farm in every respect.

  Mr. Barta was married in La Crosse County, to Amelia Arntz, who died in
1885, leaving two children, Margaret and John. On May 23, 1886, he married
Nettie Herman, a native of La Crosse County, who died in December, 1919.
This union was blessed with four children: Edward, Elizabeth, Anna and
Rudolph. Margaret was born Jan. 28, 1882. John was born Nov. 9, 1885.
Edward was born Aug. 13, 1889. Elizabeth was born June 11, 1892. Anna was
born June 4, 1897. Rudolph was born March 11, 1902. All except Rudolph, a
bright and energetic youth, still under age, were born at Bangor. Rudolph
was born on the farm in Stanley Township, soon after the family's arrival
here.
