      Robert and Minnie Schwitzky

      In 35 years of endeavor as a tiller of the soil Robert Schwitzky of Palestine Township, has achieved what can rightly be called a success. Mr. Schwitzky has a large farm of 300 acres, upon which are 2 sets of handsome improvements. He has a pretty modern cottage erected in 1914, a large bank barn which he built himself and everything about his home place gives evidence of thrift, pride, and enterprise.
      Robert Schwitzky was born in Saxony, Germany, February 17, 1863, and is the son of Herman and Amelia (Temple) Schwitzky, who immigrated to America in 1882 and settled in Indiana. One year later, Robert Schwitzky came to Cooper County. Herman, his father, was born in April, 1836 and makes his home with his son Robert. Amelia Schwitzky died in 1882 shortly after her arrival in this country.
      During his first summer in Indiana, Robert Schwitzky worked as a farm hand for $8 per month. After he came to Cooper County he received $12 per month. He rented land for the next 3 years and then bought 52 acres in 1888 near Boonville upon which he resided for 7 years. In 1895 he purchased 140 acres of his present homestead. This land had no improvements worth of the name and it has been built up to its present fine condition by the owner who is one of the best agriculturists in Cooper County.
      Mr. Schwitzky was married in 1885 to Minnie Johnmeyer. Mrs. Schwitzky was born in Westphalia, Germany, August 11, 1865. The children born to this union are: Herman, Boonville; Eda, wife of Henry Hein, Lone Elm Prairie; Anna, wife of Henry Torbeck, Boonville Township; Rosa, wife of Henry Kahle, Lone Elm Prairie; William, Minnie, and Robert on the home farm; and Freda at home.
      William and Herman are engaged in the automobile business in Boonville and are owners of the Schwitzky Auto Sales Co.
      Mr. Schwitzky is a Republican. He is a member of the Evangelical Church and the Woodmen of the World Lodge at Speed, MO.
