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.

Wonder who won...


Wouldn't it be fun to know which Pierz girl won "this beautiful doll" 102 years ago this week?  Funny that F.X. offered it but would have nothing to do with the raffle.  Would that make it fairer?

    Thought I would make one of the last comments of the year, especially since it appears the world is going on after today. Congrats on a great blog, Love, Pfoofer
