Bernhard Bauch, a respected resident of Section 21, Stanley Township, was
born in Saxony, Germany, Aug. 20, 1859, the son of Frederick and Henrietta
Bauch, the former of whom was a weaver, and both of whom spent the span of
their years in their native country. Bernhard was reared in his native
land, attended the government schools, and as a youth learned the weaving
trade from his father. He came to the United States in 1881, and located in
Racine, Wis. Four years later, in 1885, he came to Cameron, in this county,
and purchased a tract of wild land in Section 21, Stanley Township. After
making the purchase he continued working elsewhere for a while. Then he
located here, he erected a frame house and a log barn, and started to clear
up the place. With the passage of the years he and his wife have prospered.
They have delighted in keeping open house to their friends and the
children's friends, and they have lived up to every requirement of good
citizenship. They are among the most respected people in the community, and
are highly regarded by all who know them. In 1919 Mr. Bauch sold his farm
and now resides in the village of Cameron. Mr. Bauch was married Aug. 21,
1884, at Racine, Wis., to Mary Bechler, who was born in Germany, Dec. 31,
1863, and came to America alone in 1883. Mr. and Mrs. Bauch have nine
children: Anna, Fritz, Kurt, Hedwig, Carl, Hannah, Oscar, Clara and Elsie.
