S. D. Bucher, farmer, is a native of Wayne County, Ohio, born in Chester Township in 1843. Henry Bucher, the first of the family to settle in this county, was a native of Centre County, Penn., and in 1824 packed his worldly goods and his family into a big wagon, and started for Ohio. He located in Wayne Township, then a dense forest, making his wagon his dwelling-house until he could build a log cabin. He entered a quarter section of land, which is now owned by Mr. Booholtz, which he cleared and improved.
He married Catherine Rinehart, and to them were born five sons and one daughter. Andrew, one of the youngest of the family, was born in Centre County, Penn., and was a child when his parents came to Ohio.

He has been successful as an agriculturist, and now owns a good farm in Wayne Township. He is a progressive, public-spirited man, always giving his assistance to any enterprise that is of benefit to the county. He is popular with his fellow-townsmen, and has been elected by them to the offices of township trustee and school director. In politics he is a staunch supporter of the Democratic principles.

Jacob Bucher
By Mrs. Hugh A. Owen
The history of the Bucher family, as far back as information can be obtained, begins with Henry Bucher, born 1775 and who lived to be seventy-six years old. He married Catharine Hickman, who was born in 1776 and lived eighty-eight years.
To Henry and Catharine (Hickman) Bucher were born Michael (1800-1883), John (1802-1883), Elizabeth (Danner) (1804-1884), Henry (1806-1884), David (1809-1898), Andrew (1812-1869). John Bucher, second son of Henry and Catharine Bucher, married Eda Ann Winkler. The earliest information obtainable in the history of this branch of the Bucher family is that of Lawrence Winkler and his wife, Fanny Payne. Lawrence Winkler was born near Morgantown, Burk county, North Carolina, January 15, 1771. He was married to Fanny Payne in the year 1795, who was born in Wayne county, Virginia, November 18, 1775.

The family moved from that state to Indiana in 1857 and settled at the old Bucher home near Liberty church in Highland township, Greene county.

George B., eldest son, was married to Mary Buckner, August 28, 1834. The earliest history of this branch of the Bucher family, is that of Edward Bucher (1784-1861) and his wife, Elizabeth (1788-1854). To them were born; Jeremiah, Mary, James, Nancy, Louisa and Jonathan.
To George B. Stalcup and Mary (Buckner) Stalcup were born; Nancy (1840-1845), Elizabeth (1842-1842), Margaret (1837-1844), Mary Clay (1844 -----), Edward (1850-1854), Louisa (1848-1850), and Josephine (1855 -----).

Jacob Bucher enlisted in Company E, Fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, November 15, 1861, at the age of twenty-one. He was in the engagement at New Madrid, Missouri, and at Island No. 10, Shiloh, Corinth, Holly Springs, and Jackson, Mississippi. His regiment had the honor of planting the first United States flag on the state house at Jackson after the war begun. His brother, John B., was wounded in the battle at Jackson. The subject was also in the seige of Vicksburg and in all the battles in which his regiment was engaged. From this place he marched with his regiment to Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain, taking part in all these engagements. From there he went to Missionary Ridge and Atlanta, Georgia, later making the noted march to the sea, thence marched to Raleigh, North Carolina, and was relieved from duty at Wilmington, that state, which closed his active service of three years and five months. He was honorably discharged April 22, 1865, at Indianapolis, Indiana.
After the war he rented a farm for a number of years and finally bought it, living there until the present time (1908), in Highland township, Greene county, Indiana, where he is influential and highly respected by all.
