Emil Anton was born on June 23, 1929 near Utica, SD to Emil and Albina (Hanzel) Hlavac. He attended grades 1-6 at Wilson Country School, grades 7-8 at Dewey Country School, 1 year at Lesterville, 1 year at Scotland and then 2 years at Tabor where he graduated in 1946. In 1946 and 1948, he built a model car that won second place and first place in South Dakota for the National General Motors Contest. Emil won a flying scholarship at the Yankton Airport in 1947. Emil married JoAnn Pesicka at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Tabor, SD on September 12, 1950. In 1951, he entered the U.S. Marine Corps and spent 18 months aboard the aircraft carrier Essex during the Korean War. He was honorably discharged in 1953 and came home so both he and JoAnn entered farming. To this marriage, Emil and JoAnn were blessed with a son, Tom, in 1967. On June 22, 1982, JoAnn passed away. Emil continued to farm with Tom until 1987 when Emil married Betty G (Hacecky) Hunhoff. Together they moved to Ashland, OH, where he worked repairing small engines for Rogers Tractor and Sales. They then moved out to a farm and he helped the owner with the dairy business. In 1991, Emil and Betty returned to Yankton and lived by the lake before moving to an acreage west of Yankton. Emil worked repairing small engines for Agland Fertilizer at this time. In 1998, they moved to Scotland, SD, where he worked for Leonard Hamburger at his shop before Emil opened and ran his own business at his residence until 2006. He volunteered to teach a small engine class at the Menno and Scotland High Schools. He loved to read, play Cvick, Scrabble and Upwords. Emil also enjoyed framing puzzles and pictures, making small furniture for Betty and the family and he collected model tractors and train sets to add to his huge setup at home. He especially loved being with his grandchildren, step children, step grandchildren and step great-grandchildren. He was a lifetime member of the VFW and belonged to the Crop Improvement Association and Pork Producers. Emil and Betty celebrated 22 years of married life.
