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.

About those trade tokens....

Good lord, the internet and Larry are simply maaah-velous!!  Who knew there are catalogs of coins online?  The one Larry showed me last night is searchable by country, state and town--and Buckman--lil ol Buckman!--has 15 possible collectable trade tokens....and a few have dates the place was in business, too.  Looks like Tony Sitzman's bar lasted the longest (of the businesses who used trade tokens)--1934 to 1966.
