This branch of the Austrian Hesch family is descended from Johann Hesch and his wife Marya (Schlinz) Hesch, who came to America from Oberschlagles, Bohemia with three sons: Paul, Mathias, and Anton. +++Johann & Marya settled in Buffalo County, Wisconsin but moved to Pierz, Mn in about 1885. .+++Mathias settled in Waumandee, Wisconsin and moved to Pierz in 1911. +++Anton never married but farmed with his dad in Agram Township, where he died in 1911.+++And Paul, my great grandfather, settled five miles away, in Buckman, Minnesota. He died there in 1900.

I promised you pictures, right?

When our great aunt, Sr Laura, was asked to go set up a mission near Onamia, Minnesota, she had to start from scratch. This photo was found (by Larry) on a site called MINNESOTA REFLECTIONS.

The man standing between Sr Laura and the horse looks familiar, doesn't he?

Who do YOU think he is?

    Ok, I'll tell you:
    I think it's Uncle Henry. He was Sr Lauras godson, and I know he helped build the Little Flower Mission. Besides, he stood that way, right?
