My Genealogy Hound

HENRY BUESCH, farmer, P. O. Ash Ridge. Mr. Buesch was born March 13, 1808, in Bavaria, Germany. His parents were Henry and Elizabeth Buesch. In 1836, he emigrated to America, and by way of New York came to Brown County, Ohio. About the year 1837, he married Elizabeth Neu, born in August, 1819, by whom he had twelve children, nine of whom are still living, viz.: Elizabeth, John, Henry, Peter, Mary, Adam, Matilda, William and Andrew. About three years after their marriage, they moved to Ripley, where they remained nine years ; they then moved to the northwestern portion of Jackson Township, where they still reside. As a family they are noted for their industry, perseverance and uprightness, and are worthy the respect in which they are held by the community surrounding them. Mr. Buesch is a member of the German Lutheran Church, a liberal contributor to all enterprises having for their effect the rise and progress of the county and the elevation of humanity. Mrs. Buesch is a lady of more than ordinary intellectual ability, hospitable, kind and considerate, and for visitors makes her home pleasant and attractive. They have 218 acres of land in a good state of cultivation. Conrad Neu, father of Mrs. Buesch, was born in Bavaria, Germany, in January, 1794. In 1816, he married Elizabeth C. Wiseman, by whom he had eleven children, five of whom are still living — Elizabeth, John, Conrad, Peter and Mary. In 1831, they emigrated to America, and during the following winter remained near Philadelphia. In the spring of 1832, they came to Ohio, and settled in the northwestern portion of what is now known as Jackson Township, Brown County, where our subject at present resides. They remained there until their decease, he having died in April, 1873, and she in February, 1864. Notwithstanding they have left their earthly home, and we trust, gone to a higher and better sphere, there are dear friends still remaining who mourn their loss, and by whom they will ever be remembered.
