Anton F. and Mary Buschkoetter were born and raised Ferdinand, Indiana and were
the parents of three children Tony, the youngest received his formal education
Ferdinand & when he was about fourteen years of age car with his parents
to Nebraska & settled on a farm northwest of Lawrence in 1910.
Tony was married to Rose Blume on January 9, 1917 Slayton, Texas. They continued
to live on the family farm while Tony's parents moved into Lawrence where they
resided until their death.
Rose Blume Buschkoetter was born to August and Theresa Blume at Schnellville,
Indiana and moved to Nebraska w her parents in 1902. She attended school at a
country school southeast of Lawrence and also the St. Stephen's school. The Blume
family moved to Texas because of August's health in 1916. In 1935 they returned
to Lawrence to spend til reclining years.
Tony and Rose were members of Sacred Heart Church. They were active in their
church and community affairs. Tony served many years as church trustee and Rose
a member of the Altar Society, Sewing Circle and Ladies Auxiliary. They were
both members of the Catholic Order of
Foresters.
Tony's father brought the Kitten threshing machine from Ferdinand, IN. where
it was manufactured by f son-in-law, Joseph Kitten, and his father. It was I
powered by the steam engine and then later by the tractor As time went on, Tony
took over the running of the mac] for many years until the coming of the combine.
He kept I for two or three weeks every year threshing grain for neighbors. After
the harvest was finished, the entire c and their families got together on a Sunday
and had a pi in someone's pasture and a good time was had by all.
Life wasn't always easy for them, especially through dry years. During the winters
of the 'thirties' when the ri were bad the children were often taken by horse
and lumber wagon into town to stay with their grandparents so they could attend
school.
During the dry years not much grew, but seemed the Russian thistle liked the
dry soil and there was an abundance of them and were often stacked for cattle
feed. In the fall of 1939, Leonard, as a young man was seriously burned. He and
a hired man, Norbert Reining, were burning thistles and his clothing caught fire.
Leonard was bedfast for nearly a month with second and third degree burns.
A novelty occurred at the Buschkoetter farm in 1940 when twin mule colts were
born to a large brood mare. The statistics are not known on twin mules but it
is said that they are rare and it is very unusual for them to survive. Many sightseers
out for a Sunday drive came to see the unusual pair.
Tony and Rose lived on the farm until 1955 when they built a new house north
of the church. Rose passed away on November 11, 1974 and Tony on July 21, 1975.
