THOMAS TABASINSKE
Thomas Tabasinske came to Cass county in 1874, and settled in Lincoln township, where he purchased eighty acres of land, which he sold in 1876, and settled in Victoria township, on the southwest quarter of section 16. When his land was first settled it was nothing but a wild prairie, but he soon built a house, planted a grove, and improved his land, and at the present time his farm is one of the best in this part of the county. He was born in Milwaukee county, Wisconsin, in 1851, and when ten years of age he moved with his parents to Illinois, settling in 'Bureau county, where he grew to manhood and was educated in the public schools of that place. Mr. Tabasinske was married in 1877, to Electa Widner, also a native of Wisconsin. They have two children...Eddie and Frank.
