born in Mauloff, Hessen Nassau; he died near Millstadt, IL on his farm; landed in New Orleans on 3 June 1848 on board the ship "Alhambra" along with his future wife, Maria Magdalena Hoffmann; married (1) Miss Maria Magdalena Hoffmann 15 June 1848 by Pastor Geo. Schiefferdecker of the Lutheran Church & (2) widow Mrs. Christina Magdalena Walz, nee Lauterwasser 20 June 1852
Henry/Heinrich BUECHER was a farmer in Section 14 of Millstadt Township, St. Clair County, Illinois. He was born on Friday, 19 May 1820 at Mauloff, Hessen Nassau, Germany. He was the third child and third son of Philipp Heinrich BUECHER (1775-1821) and Anna Margaretha, nee WEIMAR (1782-1843). Both parents died at Mauloff where the family belonged to the Evangelical Church.
Mauloff is located about 26 kilometers (16 miles) northwest of Frankfurt. It is located in the Kreis (county) of Usingen. The town is too small to have its own post office so mail is sent through the neighboring one at "61276 Weilrod". The town is also too small to have its own church, so the town is part of the Evangelical parish of neighboring Steinfischbach. The church records for Mauloff are recorded with those of Steinfischbach. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, has filmed the Evangelical Church records for this town from 1648-1876.
According to page 9 of the "Family Register" of Trinity Lutheran Church, Millstadt, Heinrich BUECHER left Germany on 18 March 1848. The record also states that he settled in the Millstadt area in June 1848 where he pursued farming, although he had been a "Schneider" (tailor) in Germany. The actual ship passenger list that was found in Dec. 1999 states that he landed at New Orleans, Louisiana on 3 June 1848 aboard the ship “Alhambra” which had sailed from the European port of Antwerp . Also on the same ship was his fiancée, Magdalena HOFFMANN. He is listed as “Heinr Busher” age 28 and she is listed as “Magdalin Haffmann/Hoffmann” age 24.
Heinrich BUECHER was married somewhere in the Millstadt area on Thursday, 15 June 1848 to Miss Magdalena HOFFMANN. The wedding was performed by Rev. George A. Schieferdecker, the first pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Millstadt . It is the first marriage recorded in the church's records and it is also recorded with the Clerk of St. Clair County, IL . There were two sons born to this marriage: Louis BUECHER (1848-1886) and Carl BUECHER (1851-1851).
Magdalena HOFFMANN was born on Friday, 6 June 1823 at Altweilnau, Hessen Nassau, Germany. She was baptized as "Magdalena Margrethe HOFFMANN" and was the daughter of Johann Konrad HOFFMANN (1777-1856) and Maria Magdalena, nee WICK (1786-1857).
Altweilnau lies only 4 kilometers (2 1/2 miles) northeast of Mauloff and 28 kilometers (17 miles) northwest of Frankfurt. Since Altweilnau and Mauloff are so close together, Heinrich and Magdalena must have known each other before they came to the U. S. Like Mauloff, Altweilnau is too small to have its own post office and its mail is sent through the neighboring one at "61276 Weilrod". The Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, has filmed the Evangelical Church records for this town from 1611-1876.
Mrs. Magdalena BUECHER died from dysentery on Wednesday, 1 Oct. 1851 at Millstadt about 2 weeks after the death of her infant son, Karl Philippp from the same affliction. She was buried on Oct. 2nd by Rev. Schieferdecker of Trinity Church and probably buried in the Old Millstadt [Centreville] Cemetery, although she has no tombstone there. She reached the age of 28 years, 3 months, and 25 days.
Henry and Magdalena BUECHER were among the earliest members of Trinity Lutheran Church at Millstadt. His brother, Philipp BUECHER, is credited with allowing the use of his home in Millstadt (then called Centreville) for the first Lutheran church services which were held during the fall of 1848.
Philipp Buecher was born at Mauloff on 4 Dec. 1815 and was baptised as "Johann Philipp Buecher" at the Evangelical church there. He came to the United States before his brother, Henry; probably in early 1838. Philipp was married at St. Louis, Missouri on 5 April 1838 by Pastor Georg Wendelin Wall, the minister of the Holy Ghost United Church of Christ, St. Louis and the event is recorded in their records on page 177. His wife was Louise LOTZ who was born about 1803 at Friedrichsdorf, Hessen. Philipp died in Millstadt on 6 April 1885 and his wife died there on 21 April 1884. Both are buried in the Old Millstadt Cemetery in Millstadt and both have tombstones there. This marriage produced several children, but all died as infants.
The Heinrich/Henry BUECHER family first lived in Millstadt, where Henry purchased lots in the 300 block of West Washington Street on 4 May 1849. He purchased his farm in Section 14 of Millstadt Township on 6 June 1861, with additional acres bought in 1867 and 1873.
Records in the office of the Circuit Clerk of St. Clair County, IL, show that Heinrich/Henry BUECHER filed his declaration of intent to become an American citizen on 29 May 1856. He was naturalized there as a citizen of the United States on 30 March 1859, certificate number 211.
Henry did not wait long to remarry after the death of his first wife in October 1851. His second marriage took place on Sunday, 20 June 1852 and it was performed by Pastor John Rennicke, Lutheran pastor. It is recorded in the marriage records of St. Paul's Lutheran Church at Columbia where the entry states that the marriage took place "at Columbia".
His second wife was the widow, Mrs. Christina Magdalena WALZ, nee LAUTERWASSER. She was born on Sunday, 28 March 1819 at Rielingshausen, Wuerttemberg, a daughter of Zacharius LAUTERWASSER and his wife, Anna Maria, born WILDERMUTH. Christina had one daughter from her previous marriage to Wilhelm Friedrich WALZ. She was Magdalena Walz who was born in St. Louis on 7 May 1844 . Magdalena married George BRUEHL in St. Clair Co., IL, on 20 Nov. 1864. This BRUEHL family later owned a 100 acre farm across the road from Henry BUECHER in Section 14 of Millstadt Township.
There were two sons and one daughter born to this second marriage of Henry and Christina BUECHER: Katharina BUECHER (wife of Jacob HOFFMANN) (1854-1908); Friedrich BUECHER (1858-1859); and Henry Traugott BUECHER (1860-1910).
Christina BUECHER died at her farm home in Millstadt Township on Wednesday, 11 March 1885. She was buried the next day in the Old Millstadt Cemetery. Henry BUECHER died at his farm on Sunday, 22 January 1893 from the infirmities of old age. He reached the age of 72 years, 8 months, and 3 days. Burial was on Jan. 24 1893 in the Old Millstadt Cemetery by Rev. Ludwig Knief, the pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church. Their tombstones contain the following inscriptions written in German:
