(From HISTORY OF MITCHELL AND WORTH COUNTIES, IOWA, 1883, Page 880)

Frank Wyborny was an early settler in Mitchell county, having gone there with his parents, John and Annie Wyborny, in 1857. He is a native of Bohemia, born May 20, 1847. In 1851 his parents emigrated to America, and became early settlers in Jefferson Co., Wis. The family lived there until 1868, when they moved to Cerro Gordo Co., Iowa, and lived in Lime Creek township. In 1874, the subject of our sketch purchased a tract of wild land on section 19, of Union township, and settled here in 1875. He now owns 160 acres of land, in a good state of cultivation. He was married in 1870 to Annie Boheh. Eight children have blessed this union-Theodore, Emma, Rudolph, Annie, Frank, Addie, Johnnie and an infant.
