Silas N. Bucher is a retired farmer residing at No. 316 East First street in Emmett, where he has made his hope for the past eleven years, but had previously been actively identified with agricultural pursuits in Missouri for a period of four decades. His birth occurred in Kosciusko county, Indiana, on the 6th (5th per headstone) of February, 1855, his parents being Ulrich and Catherine (Smith) Bucher, the former a native of Switzerland and of Swiss descent, while the latter was born in Germany and came of German lineage. In 1832, when a youth of sixteen years, Ulrich Bucher emigrated to the United States with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Bucher. It was in Indiana that he wedded Catherine Smith, who died in Holt county, Missouri, in 1877, while his demise there occurred in 1899. They reared a family of five sons and two daughters. Louis Bucher, an older brother of Silas N. Bucher, served in the Union army under General Grant and while at the front contracted a fatal illness.
Silas N. Bucher was a lad of ten years when he accompanied his parents on their removal from Indiana to Missouri in 1865. In the latter state he turned his attention to agricultural pursuits in early manhood and throughout his entire active career carried on farming and the nursery business in Holt county, his well directed labors being attended with a most gratifying measure of success. His farm was located near Oregon, the county seat of Holt county, and he continued its cultivation with splendid results during the whole period of his active business life. In 1909 he disposed of the property and came to Idaho, locating at Emmett, where he has since lived retired in the enjoyment of well earned rest save for the supervision of some valuable irrigated ranch properties which he purchased in Gem county.
On the 18th of July, 1900, in Holt county, Missouri, Mr. Bucher was united in marriage to Miss Flora H. Luckhardt, who was born at Oregon, that county, July 23, 1867, a daughter of George P. and Henrietta F. (von Lunen) Luckhardt. Both parents were natives of Germany hut were married in Pennsylvania. The father passed away in 1902. while the mother's death occurred in the year 1918. Their family numbered three sons and five daughters.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Bucher give their political support to the democratic party, while their religious faith is indicated by their membership in the Presbyterian church, of which Mr. Bucher is an elder. They are well known and highly esteemed throughout the community in which they reside, their many excellent traits of character having endeared them to all with whom they have come in contact.
