Mr. Sukup is a native of Nebraska, and was born in 1876. His father, Wenzel Vincient Sukup, was a native of Germany, who came to this country and settled in Minnesota, later locating in Nebraska – first in Niobrara, and then, in 1865, at Norfolk, where he took up a homestead, and built a good sod house. He afterwards came to Knox County, where he took up a tree claim, and built a log house, which was later destroyed, together with the trees on the claim, by prairie fire. This misfortune caused him to lose the claim. The family also suffered many other hardships in those early days, grasshoppers, and hot winds destroying their crops.
Our subject, A.W. Sukup, was united in marriage to Mary Chocholousek in 1900, and two children have been born to them."
