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.

Google News comes thru again

Did you know that Google has old newspapers as well as old books?  And happily, Larry remembers to check once in awhile to see if there's anything we haven't seen yet ☺ YAY, Larry!

This was in the February 26th, 1957 issue of the Milwaukee Journal.  Here's the whole page, just for fun.  It says Dolores Hesch will marry Art Eben on "Sunday", which would make it March 3rd, 1957.

Now, I remember mom and Aunt Jeanette talking about some trip they went on, with young babies...and how there were no cribs in hotels...something about dresser drawers?

Well, I suspect that was Dolores' wedding weekend, cuz  Allan (my brother) would have been 6 months old, and cousin Galen Janson would have been 3 months old...lol  Both moms were nursing, but how could they miss Dolores's wedding?  She was dad's first cousin, and a close neighbor to Jansons...and it would be a FUN wedding, for sure!


Adeline (or Helen?)...Louise...Dolores the bride.....Holka (lookit that face!)...and Laura, I think.
Oh yeah, they had a good time...lol

Added later:  more online stuff about Dolores!







So, Larry started investigating online--where did Dolores go to school, what was she doing in Waukesha, Wisconsin, etc.  He found her in a a yearbook from Crookston, Minnesota, and we finally figured out that Dolores was the school nurse there, in 1953-54.  Cool, huh?



Dolores left after a year, I guess.  Here's the notice ► from the local newspaper, but isn't it odd that they rarely use the school's name?  







Ahh, it was the.....

Northwest School of Agriculture High School Crookston, MN

(We still don't know why she was in Waukesha, but it was probably a nursing job, and to meet Art...lol)
