Notes for BENEDICT LEUSCHEN:
Benedict attended school in Schoenecken, Germany, and taught school for a 
few years, as his father Nicholas had before him. He then learned the 
cabinet makers trade with his father and followed this until he was married 
in the summer of 1875.  Benedict decided to come to America in June, 1871. 
He settled in Chicago for about eight months, and then went to Mattoon, 
Illinois, where he and five other men engaged in the furniture making 
business.  The panic of 1873 put them out of business.  Benedict came to 
Shelby County, Iowa in 1874 and bought a small, undeveloped farm of 40 
acres in Westphalia Township.  By 1915, his farm was 280 acres.

Benedict married Anna Mary Nolles in May, 1875.  Anna's parents, Joseph and 
Anna Maria (Fincken) Nolles, were both natives of Germany.  After the death 
of her mother in her native land, Anna's father and the children came to 
this country, ariving in 1872.  Joseph Nolles located in Mills County, 
Iowa with children Lena, John, Valentine, Barbara and Anna Mary Nolles.
