Born in Aroslav, Province of Cohorev, Austria, on March 30, 1870, the late Mr. Juba came to Canada in 1907 and on November 14, 1909 married Miss Annie Borys and settled on a homestead at Willowbrook.

In 1924 they bought a farm at Hubbard and later farmed at Kelliher. Mr Juba retired from farming in 1932 and returned to live at Hubbard. He is survived by his wife, six sons, John and Bill of Edmonton, Alex of London, Ont., Mike and Andy of Yorkton and Peter of Montreal; five daughters, Mrs. T Hnylycia of Hubbard, Miss Effie Juba of Weyburn; Mrs. Mary Anderson of Saskatoon, Mrs. Katie Elliott of London Ont. and Mrs Eva Dyck of Niksup BC. A brother resides at Willowbrook and surviving are 19 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
