• Notes

  He was a butcher in Helena, Montana in 1862. He and his brother, Joseph bought out, in partnership with Henry Fisher, the Scheewe and Parker Meat Market on Waren Street. They remaned it the Mares and Fisher Meat Market. They moved to larger quarters on Broadway in 1892, and changed the name to Central Mart Market, and a little bit later, the Helena Meat Market. The final location was on the east side of Main Street, just north of the intersection of 6th and Main. Their real claim to fame was the insulated ice house they built to store ice they harvested from the ice pond in Central Park. The ice house was built with double walls, with sawdust as the insulation filling up the space between the two walls. The other meat markets had not refrigeration facilities so they were forced to butcher meat only when they could be sure of selling it quickly. The Helena Meat Market quickly got the major share of large contracts with the government to provide meat for the various military facilities.He was a clerk of court in Zamberk. He had a son who was a baker in Kysberku. per Antonette Mares 4/9/1938.
