Anthony (Anton, Tony) was born in Bohemia during 1888 according to the 1900 Federal Census, which matches later census. The 1882 birth year on his grave marker is believed to be in error.

Tony immigrated to the United States during 1892 with his parents and two brothers, Wenzel (Vincent) Jr. and Frank. A sister Antonia was born in Wisconsin during 1894 and by 1896 the family had settled on a farm in Culdrum Township, Morrison County, MN.

There is uncertainly about his birth year as his World War I draft registration has 4 July 1883 and the registration for World War II has 4 July 1884 while the grave marker has 4 July 1882. Moreover, the 1900 census has his birth during 1888 which matches his age in later census much better than the 1882-1884 range. The Social Security Death Index birth date is 4 July 1887.
