HENRY HERMAN BUTZBACH is the "village blacksmith" of Millville, who has gained
by the strong blows of his good, brawny right arm a nice home and a good shop,
and in his line is the leading business man in town. He was born in Berrien
County, Michigan, March 8, 1856, the same year in which the great Republican
party of the country was born. It is therefore a natural consequence that he
should be the stanch Republican that he is, and it may truly be said of him that
he was born one. His father, Philip, and his mother, Amanda (Herman) Butzbach,
were hard-working, well-to-do German people who, to improve their condition and
give their offspring a chance under the free, institutions of America, emigrated
to the United States in 1848, and became the parents of thirteen healthy
children, twelve of whom they succeeded in bringing up.

  Mr. Butzbach, the subject of this sketch and their third child, learned his
trade in Michigan and worked at it for eleven years. He then emigrated to
Oregon, and six months after came to California. He worked at San Jose,
Pleasanton and San Francisco, but during all this time he was unsettled; and in
order to settle his mind he returned East and married Miss Amanda Arnay, a
native of Ohio. A year afterward he returned to California and decided upon
Millville for their future home. He purchased a good home and shop, opened his
business and at once stepped to the front, getting the business in Millville and
vicinity and for many miles out; and now there have come to live in and enliven
the home of Henry Herman Butzbach and Amanda, his wife, two happy little boys,
whom they have named Harry R. and Edwin P., both born in the village of
Millville, in the County of Shasta, in the beautiful State of California.
