Notes - The following is from Antonette Mares dated 4-9-1938. "Joseph Mares was a shoemaker in Berlin for awhile, then in 1882 he emigrated to the U.S. He came to Cedar Rapids (Iowa) and then to Marion, Iowa. In 1884 he started to go West, as the railroad was built to Helena, Teton County, Montana. He arrived in march 1884 and got work at Hereky's brewery. Eastar came. He thought his work was all done, so he went to church. When he returned, the foreman told him he did not need him. Then he went to Marysville, There he found work in a shoe store for Mike McClain. He worked there for 8 years. Mr. McLain died so the business was to be sold and "Papa" bought it out. He had his father come over from Europe and they kept house together. In 1893 his father wanted to return to see his old home, so Papa went with him and they stayed 6 weeks in Zamberk, then he started back alone for the U.S. On reaching Helena, he had word of his father's passing. Anton Hasker took care of the store, and then Papa sold out to him. Papa came to Helena and bought the Central Park property and also became partner of Frank Mares. In 1898 was interested with Toman Brothers at Cascade ranch. On September 11, 1899, he married Antonette Jama at Omaha, Nebraska. They had three children"
