Catharine Buchtel

(18 Aug 1822 - 14 Jun 1913)

On the 30th of March, 1845, Mr. Holm was united in marriage, in Bethlehem township, this county, to Miss Catherine Buchtel, the officiating clergyman being Rev. R. R. Salters, of the German Reformed church. Mrs. Holm was born in the same township, on the 18th of August, 1822, and here her education was received in the district schools of the pioneer epoch. Her father, John Buchtel, was born in Center county, Pennsylvania, where he was reared to manhood, and in 1811 he accompanied his parents on their removal to Stark county, Ohio, the family being numbered among the first settlers of Bethlehem township. Mr. Buchtel married Martha Sherman, who was a native of Franklin county, Pennsylvania. He entered a quarter section of wild land in the township mentioned and forthwith instituted the workof reclamation and improvement, and there he continued to make his home until his death, in 1868, at the age of seventy-four years, his wife surviving until 1877, when she passed away at the age of seventy-seven. Of the children of John and Martha Buchtel the following is a brief record: Catherine, wife of the subject; Reuben, a resident of this county; Joseph, who died in May, 1902, was a representative farmer of this county; Sarah is the widow of David Kriegbaum, and resides in Canton, where her son Charles is a leading attorney; Elizabeth is the wife of John Kriegbaum, of this county, where also resides Samuel, the youngest of the children. The great-grandfather of Mrs. Holm was John Buchtel, who was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, whence he emigrated to America and took up his residence in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, where he passed the residue of his life. His son John, grandfather of Mrs. Holm, was born in Franklin county, and one of his brothers was a soldier in the war of 1812, in which he undoubtedly sacrificed his life, all trace of him being lost from the early period of his service. He was the father of John Buchtel, who was the father of John R., the founder of Buchtel College, in Akron, Ohio. John Buchtel, grandfather of Mrs. Holm, was married in his native country, to Miss Catherine Snyder, who was likewise born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, whither her parents emigrated from Holland. Upon coming to Stark county, John Buchtel (grandfather) entered claim to a half section of land in Bethlehem township, and there he died prior to the year 1822.

To Mr. and Mrs. Holm have been born six children, concerning whom the following is a brief record: Almira is the wife of William K. Gallagher, of Cleveland, Ohio; Elizabeth is the wife of William W. Pumphrey, of Canton; Sarah is the wife of Robert W. McGaughey, of Massillon, this county; Elmer remains at the parental home; Olive, who became the wife of Isaac W. Stauffer, of Canton, died in 1896, and Edith is the wife of Valentine L. Nye, of Canton. The family have a large circle of devoted friends in the city and county, where they are well known, and both Mr. and Mrs. Holm are honored representatives of sterling pioneer families, prominently identified with the founding and building of one of the most prosperous and attractive counties of the old Buckeye state.
