Held Family History Ernest Bubenzer Ernest Bubenzer was born in 1845 in Prussia. I believe that he came to America roughly 1860 as a teenager. During the mid 1800's, Prussia was beginning its demise. The outcome of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, put an end to the aspirations of a unified state with both Germany and Austria. Instead the Franco-Prussian War left Prussia broken apart and the German Empire was proclaimed in 1871. It is likely that Ernest and his family left to escape the national termoil Prussia was under. I believe Ernest traveled with at least one brother and sister, Amelia, and Gustaf. His brother Gustaf, born in 1839, was a physician in Perry county, Indiana. After his first wife, Mary died in childbirth, Gustaf married Belle; raising three daughters and one son in Tobin, Indiana. Ernest's sister, Amelia, lived in Widner township, marrying Charles Folley, March 7 1867. Ernest would marry Mary Weitzel, October 3, 1867 at the age of 22. Mary was born in Ohio in 1848; the second of nine children born to Elizabeth and and unknown father. Mary's mother, Elizabeth, was born in 1824 in the German province of Hesse Kassel. She has escaped the instability of her homeland only to face the American Civil War. In 1860 she was widowed with nine children and living in Auburn, Ohio with her 87 year old, father-in-law, Lerecus. Following the Civil War young Mary moved to Freelandville to live near relatives. Mary would marry Ernest at the age of 19. Ernest and Mary would have at least nine children, Ernest Jr., Elizabeth, John, Minnie, Christian, Louis, Mary, William and an unknown daughter. Ernest farmed while Mary kept the home. Their son, Louis died at the age of 11, I suspect from T.B. for their daughter Elizabeth would also die from T.B. as a young woman. 34
