One way to fish for genealogical links is to 'search within' a likely website online...for instance, the school newspaper archives at St Johns. We were surprised to find 2-3 Hesch students there in turn-of-the-century Collegeville, Minnesota.
Of course there were other kids from Morrison county who attended St Johns, and searching "Buckman" scored a few mentions of a young man named August Kapsner. (Larry found this paragraph ages ago, so I'm not sure which issue it came from. It was probably 1918 or so, tho). He sounds like a live wire ☺
BTW, the earliest Kapsner mentioned in the paper there was Joseph Kapsner, in 1888, probably from Buckman, too.
