"...John A. and Mary (Burkhard) Huebsch, who were born and reared in Germany and who came to Clayton county and became pioneer settlers soon after their arrival in America, in the middle '40s. The father obtained a tract of wild land in what is now Sperry township, and the first home provided was a log cabin of the true pioneer type, as was also the primitive barn which he erected on the place.

His venerable widow still resides in the county and township that are endeared to her by the gracious memories and associations of the past..."(History of Clayton County, Iowa:...
