Frank Bartu became a naturalized citizen of the United States on November 22, 1880 in Fillmore County. He later purchased school land from the state of Nebraska a the W 1/2 SE 1/4 and the E 1/2 SW 1/4. The land was sold to his son-in-law, Vaclav Urban, and almost immediately transferred back to Vaclav's mother-in-law, Katherine Bartu. When the Bartu's lived on this farm, they had Catholic Church services on Sundays there (Milligan, pp 189-190). As of the 1910 census, the widowed Frank Bartu was living with his son and daughter-in-law, Fred and Fannie Bartu, in Saline County.
