THE JACOB HENRY PIVONKA FAMILY

Jacob Henry Pivonka grew up on the plains, attending school a few months of the year. As a young man he worked at various jobs. He married Mary Vesecky and they settled on a farm about a mile and a half south of the homestead.  He was a farmer all his life. After his wife Mary died the oldest daughter Clara managed the home until she married. The family was always a very close knit, happy, fun-loving family. The home was a place where relatives and neighbors often met just to visit and enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon, The two oldest sons served in World War I.
