Conrad and Elizabeth (Schubert) Hank
1880 ...

At the time of the 1880 census, Conrad (33) and Elizabeth (32) have moved to a farm near Section 34 in Osage Township, LaSalle County. With them is young son Anton (3 months). Conrad is incorrectly listed as Cornell and young Anton is listed as Austin. There is reasonable probability this is the young family because living in the same household is John and Mary Balensiefen Stadel and their young daughter Christine.

Before the decade is out, Conrad and Elizabeth will have two daughters, Margaret and Elizabeth, and three additional sons, George, Fred and August. George passes away in 1883. Where he is interred is unknown.

1890 ...

On September 2nd 1892, Conrad and Elizabeth buy 135 acres of land in Franklin township, Cass County, Iowa from Fred and Mary Stoodt for $6400, consisting of the east half of the SE quarter of Section 7 and the south half of the SW quarter of Section 8 including the land north to the railroad right of way.  When they made the move from LaSalle County, Illinois to Cass County, Iowa is uncertain, but it had to occur between the purchase of the land in September of 1892 and the death of Elizabeth's father, George Schubert, on May 19th, 1893, whose obituary states she was living in Wyota, Iowa.

Wiota is located 30 miles north east of Greenfield in Adair County where Antone’s sister, Mary Elizabeth Hanck Eatinger lived, and 75 miles south south east of Chatsworth, Iowa, where Elizabeth's sister, Theresa Schubert Diimig lived.
