Read More	The first Bohemian settlers in Colony township were Mr. and Mrs. Frank and Josephine Krisenger; Frank's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph and Anna (Mudra) Krisenger; several brothers and sisters (of whom Agnes, now Mrs. W. H. Williamson is the only one now living); and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph and Vera Vonasek. The men were employed by the railroad and brought their families to Creston from Iowa City, where there was a large Bohemian settlement. Attracted by the fertile black soil, they decided to settle in Adams County, but chose the northern part of the county because at that distance from the railroad land could be bought for $2.00 an acre. This was about 1872. Later Joseph Blazek came to Colony Township directly from Bohemaia, lured by the letters of Mrs. Krisenger and Mrs. Vonasek, his aunts. Within two years he sent for his mother and father and his unmarried brothers and sisters. The Bohemians, like the Nordic races, are land hungry and with this nucleus, it was but a question of time until there was a thriving Bohemian settlement here. Many came directly from Bohemia to join relatives settling in Adams County, while others cam as tenant farm hands to work for the landed settlers. The saying was "Pay a Bohemian $300 a year and he'll save $350 of it."
