REMEMBRANCES: by Joseph N. Buechler
A token of Appreciation to His Family and Friends
In publishing this booklet of our 50th Anniversary I am filled with a thought once given expression to by Carlyle in his Cromwell Letters and Speeches, It is there he says: "The Leafy blossoming present time springs from the whole past, remembered and unremembered." And thus it ever is. History is merely the recording of events past, and biography, the remembrances of the individual are the keepsakes which all should cherish and pass on to their family, their relatives, their friends and acquaintances. To present adequately such an individual relation of factual occurrences, the reader must first know some what of the personal life of the relator - his birth, - his emergence from childhood to manhood, his educational and religious training, and this must be augmented by a glimpse of the story of his parents and that of his wife and children. All this must precede and so-to-speak form the background on which his "Remembrances" are based. In the following this trend of thought I shall first present this biographical sketch.
I was born at 423 South Illinois Street, Belleville, Illinois, on April 15, 1876. My father, Albert Buechler, was born at Zweibruecken, Rheinish Bavaria, February 11, 1852, and a year later his parents came to the United States, first locating at Burlington, Iowa. In 1858 they moved to Belleville, Illinois, then a pioneer city, attracting many emigrants of Germanic nativity, of that date. Here I attended the St. Peter's school until 1884. In that year my parents moved to St. Louis, Missouri. In that city I attended the parochial and public schools. At that time we lived in the precincts of St. Nicholas parish, 19th and Lucas avenue. It was here I received my first Holy Communion. After graduating from the 8th grade of the Franklin public school, I decided to strike out on my own. I went down town looking for a job. Passing by the Barnard Stamp Company, I spied a sign, "Boy Wanted." Applied and got the job at $2.50 per week. Worked several weeks. My Dad desired me to learn the printing trade and apprenticed me to the National Live Stock Reporter, at the National Stock Yards, Illinois where he was foreman. The Reporter was then in its preparatory stage. In 1890 my parents returned to Belleville, Illinois, where they bought the old homestead at 423 South Illinois street. After 15 years of ownership they sold same to Mr. Adam Maurer. From 1890 to the present time I have lived in Belleville, Illinois and with the exception of two years lived in the Fifth Ward. After my parents returned to Belleville I worked about three months for the Belleville News-Democrat as an apprentice. Returned to The National Live Stock Reporter and worked there until 1902. For 14 years my father and I traveled from Belleville to East St...
