Bohmil Stodola, now deceased, for some ten years a resident of this
county, was born in Bohemia, and was there reared and educated. There he
married Anna Svoboda, the daughter of a neighbor. They came to America in
1881, bringing their family. After due deliberation they settled near
Clarkson, Colfax County, Nebraska, where they farmed for several years, and
where the rest of their children were born. In 1895 they came to Barron
County and bought 160 acres in section 20, Oak Grove Township. He erected a
set of buildings, cleared nearly the entire tract, and developed a well
improved farm. He died July 12, 1906. Mrs. Anna Stodola now resides with
her son, Adolph J., who after his father's death purchased eighty acres of
the farm, which he subsequently sold and now lives on a farm of forty acres
in section 9, Oak Grove. The other eighty acres of the old home farm were
bought by another son, Ludvik. In the family there were eight children:
Bohmil, Anna, Edward, Emma, Joseph, Ludvik, Adolph and Lewis.
