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.

"Fearless Journalism" in the Pierz Journal, 1946

Wow, look at this cool article Larry found.  It's a clip from a newspaper in Perth, Australia in late October 1946, describing a wedding in (no doubt) Buckman,"Minn. USA".  We all know who wrote it (if you don't, click the "Math Hesch Reporter" label on the left ☺). It's obvious Math felt extremely secure in his relationships with people in the area.  My first thought was that it was his nephew Mike's wedding (whoo boy, can you imagine??) but no, Mom & Dad were married a whole month by then.
INCREDIBLE how much we'd miss if it wasn't for Larry ☺

Cathedral High School, St Cloud, Mn

This 1946 photo postcard just blows me away.  It's from 20 years before I was a student at CHS, and while a lot changed in those years, it's startling how much was exactly like this when I got there.  LOL...I could go on to describe each building, but only 3 of you would care.
Compare and contrast in the comments, ok?
