"Henry Hubl was born in Czechoslovakia and became a veterinarian. A person not believing in war, he fled to the U.S. I was told, that to the day he died, he thought some day he would be sent back to his home country.

"In the U.S. he worked as a butcher. There he displayed his strength by walking the length of the shop with a steer on his back. I understand he earned extra money by doing it! He was 6’4”, strong, but not a heavy man. I have two pictures of Henry. One shows him with Daddy as a small boy with Daddy’s sister Anna and her husband; the other shows him with his wife Rozie. In both pictures he is wearing his pocket watch and chain.

"Henry played the accordion and had his own orchestra. (The accordion had all buttons, no keyboard for the right hand. These accordions are rare now, but occasionally I see one on an old TV program).

"Henry continued to helped people with animals when needed. Daddy said he saw his father kill an injured horse by hitting him on the nose with the back of his hand. Henry also believed in helping people, bringing home beef bones for his wife to make soup for the poor and hungry.

"When daddy was a young boy, his mother sent him to find his father, Henry. Daddy hitched up the horse to the wagon. Daddy started looking, but the horse insisted on stopping at every tavern on the way, finally finding his father in the last tavern on the route.

"Henry became a diabetic and eventually lost a leg. I don’t know if he knew, or any one knew, about diabetic diets. Anyway, he drank a lot of beer. Daddy told me that one day when his father came home drunk, his mother chased his father up the street waving a broom at him. Henry was 6’4”, Rozie was under 5’."
