BIOGRAPHIE: Emigrated to Cincinatti 8th May 1871 listed as home Address Brook 76 d, emigrated alone, probably worked in Cincinatti to earn money to buy land. Heinrichs father was an agricultural day-labourer without land, and his sons faced the same future, so Heinrich immigrated to the United States in 1867. He brought tools to carry on making wooden shoes, and his farming skills. He left behind a brother and two sisters. With 11 sons Heinrich looked for opportunities to set them up in farming. Some Benedictine monks from Minnesota were organizing an emigration to an area of Saskatchewan called St. Peters Colony. In 1903 the six oldest came to Lake Lenore, Bernhard with his wife. These seven, plus other young men looking for homesteads, built a two-storey log house in the summer of 1903. He was "of light build and stern demeanor" Listed in 1880 US census at Pierz, Morrison, Minnesota He died on 21 Nov 1905 in Humboldt Sask. Canada from Blood Poisoning ... as the result of an accidental cut on his leg and was buried in 1905 in Lake Lenore Sask. Canada. Two sons returned to the United States. Anton returned to Pierz to marry and move to California saying the winters were too cold in Saskatchewan. Christoph also returned to Pierz and married. It was through his presence in Pierz that the Saskatchewan family maintained connections to Minnesota. The sons of Heinrich who remained in Canada and had descendents were: Bernhard, Henry, George, John, Joseph, William and Albert as well as stepson Herman Wesling.
