Adamec, Anton Family
Anton Adamec was born in Jackson County, Wis. June 14, 1911 to John and Anna Adamec. He lived there until Dec. 1920. His father died June 1917. In December of 1920, his mother married Andrew Zemba of the town of Levis. The mother then moved here with her six children.
Anton attended the Meadow View School, which was his center of education. He worked in moss marshes in City Point for a few years, then went to Chicago to work for the railroads from 1929 to 1934. In June of 1934 he came back to Levis and in September he purchased an eighty acre farm in Section 23. On November 26, 1938 he married Anna Sojka from Hiles, Wood County, Wis. To this union were born three children; Anton William, now at Lake Darion, Michigan; Marian Christine, now Mrs. Edward Genetman; John Wencil, now living in Albert Lea, Minn.

The barn is still on the place. March 1, 1964, Anna Zemba passed away.
