until he owned 44 acres. He and his wife had a large family of children and decided to sell their farm in Germany and
come to America, where they felt they could give their children better opportunities for advancement. Martin Schechinger Sr.
and his family came to America in 1875, located in Westphalia Township, Shelby county, Iowa, where they bought land for
eleven dollars an acre. Mr. Schechinger had four stout sons and with their assistance, he soon accumulated 400 acres of
land, which he divided among his sons a few years before his death. Martin Schechinger Sr. and wife were the parents of
11 children: Katherine, wife of Joseph Fromm; Crazens, wife of Bartell Stoll; Martin, the subject of this sketch; Mary,

He was 17 years of age when he landed at New York harbor in 1873. He at once located in LaSalle County, Illinois. After
working as a laborer there for three years he came to Shelby County, Iowa, and worked with his father until he was 29 years
of age, when he married and bought a farm of 120 acres, on which he began farming for himself. Year after year has found him
more prosperous and his farm of 400 acres in Lincoln township in this county is a glowing tribute to his successful
career as an agriculturist. He also owns 320 acres in the state of Oklahoma, to which he gives his own careful
supervision. He has on an average of 140 acres of corn each year which produces about 7, 500 bushels of corn. He also

Immediately after their marriage, Peter Paul and Mary Buch came to America and located in Keokuk County, Iowa,
settling there in 1855. Mr. Buch was an olive oil manufacturer in his native land, but upon coming to America, engaged
in farming. He came to Shelby County, Iowa, in 1883 and purchased 160 acres of land in Lincoln township on which he
lived until 1911 when he retired from active farm life and moved to Carroll, Iowa, where he is now living. Peter Buch and

from Peter Gaul b.1930:
Although it shows in the Schechinger book and my documentation, I don't think the George Schechinger children
died of Diptheria. I believe you'll find them listed in the Westphalia cemetery book and they could have died of
almost anything children died of in those days. I, and many of my cousins, long believed they died of Diptheria.
But I now believe that story was a mix-up with the death of children in the John and Ann Gaul where four children
did died of Diptheria in 1887, between March 27 and April 4.
