Hi Listers.. An index to the biographies in the History of Barron County, 1922, and others previously submitted are available at the following: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/barron/bios.htm 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. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C. Cooper, Jr., & Co., 1922, pg. 349.
