Henry Mersch, farmer and stock raiser, section 32, was born April 10, 1826, in 
Prussia. Herman William Mersch, his father, and also his mother, whose maiden 
was Katharine Kullarmier, were natives of that country. Henry spent his youth in 
the public schools, where he received a good education in the common branches, 
and he was married at his birthplace in 1855 to Miss Elizabeth Sutmiller, a 
daughter of Conrad Sutmiller, of the same locality. Emigrating to the United 
States in the fall of 1856, Mr. Mersch settled in Warren County, Missouri, where 
he lived for about ten years. He removed thence to Henry County in the spring of 
1867, and purchased a farm in Osage Township, where he now resides. He has 200 
acres of improved land, upon which is a good new house and convenient out 
buildings, and an orchard of about 100 apple and a like number of peach trees. Mr. 
And Mrs. Mersch have nine children: William, Mary (wife of J. G. Scheer), Herman,
