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.

You never forget something you learned as a kid....

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection

implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto Thee,

O Virgin of Virgins, my mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the

Word lncarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.

Amen.
