JACOB BUEHLER. A farm of moderate extent, but well improved and managed, and 
located near the city of Joliet, is the home of the subject of this notice. He 
is engaged in the dairy business, finding sale for all the products of his 
farm in this city. The estate is supplied with a full line of well-built 
edifices, which afford adequate shelter for stock and storage for the products 
which are yielded by the land or manufactured upon it. The owner of this 
comfortable home is of Swiss lineage and birth. His parents, Ulrica and 
Margaretta (Soch) Buehler, came to America a score of years ago, settling in 
the Empire State, where the father died. The mother is yet living and still 
pursuing a career of usefulness. She is the mother of twelve children, of whom 
the subject of this sketch is the first-born. His natal day was February 16, 
1850, and in his native land he acquired a fair stock of information, and 
derived from his worthy parents principles of conduct which give him a good 
standing among his fellow-men. He was about nineteen years of age when the 
removal to America took place, and he took his place at once among the workers 
of the country. After having become a resident of Illinois, Mr. Buehler took a 
companion in life, the rites of wedlock being celebrated between him and Miss 
Eliza Engemann, October 21, 1875. The bride is the oldest of the twelve 
children born to John and Elizabeth (Lehmann) Engemann, and opened her eyes to 
the light in Switzerland, August 11, 1852. Her parents also were natives of 
the land so famed for the beauty of its scenery and the liberty-loving spirit 
of its people, and became citizens of America in 1872. They landed in New 
York, and went at once to Ohio, where they resided a year, after which they 
took up their abode in Joliet. Here the father died in August, 1884. Mrs. 
Buehler possesses all the energy, perseverance and zeal which characterize the 
race, together with the neatness and love of order which are also prominent 
traits in Swiss character, and having obtained much useful knowledge and skill 
in earlier years, she conducts the affairs which are entrusted to her 
oversight in a manner which proves her ability as housewife and helpmate. She 
has borne her husband three children—Albert, Mary and Freda. Mr. Buehler 
supports the Democratic party by his vote and personal influence.
