   JACOB BUCHER, a resident of Highland Township, was born January 30, 1840, in
Ashland County, Ohio. With his parents, John and Eda A. (Winkler) Bucher, who
bore a family of ten children, he came to Greene County in 1857, and located in
Highland Township, where he has ever since made his home. His schooling was
somewhat limited, and alternated with months of hard labor upon a farm. On
November 15, 1861, he enlisted in Company E, Fifty-ninth Regiment Indiana
Volunteer Infantry, and served in the late war until its close, when he received
an honorable discharge March 22, 1865. Mr. Bucher was actively engaged in the
following battles: New Madrid, Corinth, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and was
on the march from there to Savannah, thence to the battles of Beaufort and
Wilmington. On December 24, 1865, he was united in wedlock to Mary C. Stalcup,
and together they are the parents of eight children—George B., Arabella, John,
Walter A. and Willard G. (deceased twins), Edward P., Jacob G. and Blanche.
During most of his life, Mr. Bucher has followed farming, and with good success,
as his large farm of 200 acres, well improved and cultivated, amply testifies.
He is a Democrat in politics, and an upright, industrious citizen, whom to know
is to respect and esteem.
