From Wurschmidt/Bach family history.

This is a brief summary of Katherine Wurschmidt's father, as told to David Wurschmidt by Henry Bach on one of his visits to Chico(CA). Editing and correcting done by Christine Wurschmidt Licker, 6 Jul 2009. Corrections will be marked by an asterisk (*).

Nicholas Bach was born in Grosslangenfeld*, Rhineland Germany, on 20 August 1820. He was one of several children of Nicholas Bach and Elizabeth Cremer* of Grosslangenfeld. His parents are buried there. Nick had a brother,Bernard, who also came to the U.S.,married Lucy Keppers and settled in Stearns Co. Minnesota.* In 1853 he married a Miss Lewis (Elizabeth Lowen or Louen*) in Grosslangenfeld. Their first son, Michael, was born at Leutzkampen in the Eifel region of Rhineland, Germany, 22 Feb 1855. Sometime after Michael's birth, they left Germany and set out for America. They settled in Racine, Wisconsin. Here Nick worked at common labor. They must have been thrifty, because by the spring of 1857 he had acquired a team of oxen. Their second son, Peter was born during this time, in 1856 or 1857.

They departed for Minnesota where they squatted on 160 acres in the St. Cloud/Avon region of Stearns Co*. Squatting on unoccupied land was customary because no surveying had yet been done. Nick cleared a few acres of the land and built a cabin to live in and then with his team of oxen and a covered wagon engaged in hauling freight: probably for the Hudson Bay Company. His farm was located on the main road from St. Paul to Georgetown,MN which was the southernmost outpost of the Hudson Bay Company. In the spring, after hay for the stock was planted, he would set out for St. Paul, a distance of 50 miles, and load up for the trip north. Then, together with a caravan of freight wagons, escorted by a company of U.S. Cavalry soldiers, the procession would proceed past his home and on to Georgetown on the Red River in Minnesota. There were as yet no boats hauling freight on the Red River. These trips kept him away from his family for at least three months at a time. During this period, three more children were born to Nick and Elizabeth: Bernard (Barney), Margarite (Maggie) and Mattias (Mat).

About 1870 the Catholic Church obtained a grant for the land he was on in order to build a college. They offered him 160 acres in exchange, located at the town of New Munich (Stearns Co), which he accepted. [Note: I have been in contact with the archivist at what is now called Saint John's University. Apparently no records remain which would confirm or deny this story, but more research should be done through the Stearns County property rolls.] The family moved to the new location, but in 1871 his wife, (the first Elizabeth), died leaving him with 5 children.

Two years later, in 1873, he married a young widow with three daughters whose names were Louisa, Marie and Minnie (Philomine) Gnaden. His new wife, was Elizabeth Gnaden*. She was born in Alpthal* Switzerland, and her family name was Tschimperle*. She came with her parents to St. Paul, Minnesota along with two sisters and two brothers. Her siblings were Frank, August, Caroline and Philomine.

Caroline was married to Joseph Kaley, also from Switzerland. They lived in Lake Minnetonka (Carver Co?). They had 11 children by 1880, when they lived in Laketown Minnesota.

Philomine was married to Charles Finken--born Switzerland, 1850. They lived in Oak Township, Stearns Co, MN. In 1880 they had 4 sons and 2 daughters.

Elizabeth Tschimperle's first husband was a Mr.Gnaden, who had been a brewer, or possibly a builder of breweries. He died young, in 1870, leaving his wife with three daughters. Three years later she met and married Nicholas Bach. She said she "jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire." Their children are: Henry Bach b. New Munich 18 Aug 1876; Elizabeth (Lizzie) b. North Dakota Terr. 1878; and Katherine (Grandma Kate) b. Grand Forks, North Dakota Terr. 27 Sep 1880. The family moved to Grand Forks N.D. in 1877. Henry married Rose Catini and moved to a homestead in New Berg N.D. in 1903. Henry's childen: Roy, Walter, Liman(?-not legible), Marie, Arnold and Lloyd. Lizzie was married and spent her life in Canada-possibly Manitoba.

The father possessed considerable artistic skill, painting pictures of merit but only for his own pleasure, as his patrimony was sufficient to supply his wants. William Douglas Edmonston pursued his education in the schools of his native city and was graduated from the Royal School of Arts of Edinburgh with the class of 1887. He devoted his time and attention to art until 1893 and then took charge of a tract of land in Douglas county, Colorado, for English owners, remaining in that business connection until 1901, when he entered the government service as agent of the general land office.
