Andro Yurecko, expert shoemaker, repairer and dealer, of Barron city, was
born in Hungary, Nov. 24, 1882, son of Johan and Anna (Kruesovski) Yurecko,
natives of that country, both now deceased. He received his education in
his native land and there learned the shoemaking trade. He came to America
in 1906, and after landing in New York went directly to Minneapolis, where
he joined his brother. In 1910 he came to Barron City, and for a while was
employed as a shoemaker for the merchants. It was in 1912 that he started
in business for himself. By hard work and fair dealing he has built up a
good trade and has prospered, now owning a building, 25 by 40 feet, on Main
street, equipped with modern machinery, where he makes and repairs shoes
and sells a full line of overshoes and rubber goods. Mr. Yureeko was
married Dec. 31, 1913, to Esther Kurschner, daughter of Oswald and Margaret
(Kallenbach) Kurschner, and this union has been blessed with three
children: Wayne, born Nov. 18, 1914; Phyllis, born Nov. 11, 1916; and
Wilbur, born May 6, 1918.
