John Anibas, a general farmer in Lima township, Pepin county, operating 
126 acres in section 26, was born in Austria, June 23, 1865, son of 
Anton and Johanna (Ibel) Anibas. The parents came to the United States 
in 1892, Anton Anibas settling on a farm in Durand township, this 
county, where both he and his wife subsequently died. John, the subject 
of this sketch, attended school in his native land and was 18 years old 
when he came to America. He worked out for others, carefully saving as 
much of his earnings as possible until he was able to purchase his 
present farm, to which he came in 1891. This he is operating 
successfully, raising the usual crops and keeping a sufficiency of good 
stock. He is also financially interested in the Inter-County Telephone 
Company. Independent in politics, he has never aspired to public office. 
He attends the Catholic church in Lima. In March, 1891, Mr. Anibas gave 
up bachelor life and was united in marriage with Mary Sabelko, who was 
born in Austria, daughter of Michael and Johanna (Durham) Sabelko, 
natives of the same country. The family located in Lima township at an 
early date and Mr. and Mrs. Sabelko are still residing here. Of their 
four children Mary was the third in order of birth. Mr. and Mrs. Anibas 
are the parents of eleven children: Frank, John, Andrew, Mary, Florian, 
Louisa, Agnes, Anthony, Anna, Phillip and Thomas. All are unmarried and 
all are residing at home except Andrew, who is temporarily absent.
