HESCH HISTORY: Fifty YEARS ago...

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.

Fifty YEARS ago...

WOW--looking thru a LIFE Magazine online (July 1, 1957), I found this photo of an American excess..lol There was a subtle meaning behind being able to BURY a whole new car, just for the publicity. The plan was to exhume the thing fifty years in the future--2007. Did it survive in pristine condition?
