Henry Frederik Utesch, Sr., was born April 7, 1856, near Luebeck, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. At the age of 10 he became an orphan when his mother died; his father having passed away previously. As a youth he entered the German army, serving four years . He then learned the shoemaker trade.
March 22, 1884, he married Miss Anna Christine Utesch. This union was blessed with 13 children, six of whom preceded him in death.

In infancy, Mr. Utesch was baptized in the Lutheran faith and at the age of 14 renewed his baptismal vow in the rite of confirmation. While residing in this vicinity he was a member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church of Riceville, until his death.
