The father came from Bavaria, Germany, to the United States in 1853 and located on a farm of a hundred and sixty acres in Delaware county, Iowa. There he lived and farmed until coming to Dyersville in 1853. He died in October, 1896, followed ten years later by his wife. To them were born the following named children: Matt and Annie, who died at age twenty-one; John, retired farmer, residing in Dyersville; Katie, the wife of C. Kramer, farmer; Rev. Joe Drexler, Catholic priest at Norway, Iowa; George, grocer at St. Louis; August, Catholic priest at Neola, Iowa; Mary, who married Nicholas Jekel, of Independence, Iowa; Anton, subject; and Frank. Anton Drexler finished his scholastic training at Dyersville when twelve years old, and assisted his father in farming until of age. He then farmed on rented land for two years succeeding, when he came to Dyersville and for three years clerked in the Bagge hardware store. He then entered the Goerdt Brothers mercantile establishment and remained thus engaged eight years. In partnership with John Koelker he embarked in the general mercantile business, but six years later, when the store burned down, he engaged in that line of business alone and has been very successful. He is a Democrat in politics, but has never aspired to hold office. In religious views he is a Catholic and a member of the Roman Catholic Mutual Protective Association of the State of Iowa. February 28, 1889, at Dyersville, he was united in marriage with Miss Annie Goerdt, daughter of Charles and Elizabeth Goerdt, pioneer farmers of Delaware county. To this union have been born seven children: Albert, in father's store; Charles, same; Rosa, at home; Emil, with father; Frances, attending school; Alma, also in school and Edward, six years old.
