- The Buhlers left Laichingen in August 1892 and sailed from Bremerhaven with tickets to New York and then by train to Chicago. But there was a cholera epidemic at the time and one the sailors brought it on
board, so the ship was quarantined in the Chesapeake bay for six weeks. Finding no work in Chicago,
Johannes and his family went to Cincinnati. Cincinnati was a bilingual city at the time with a large German population. Johannes was naturalized on 22 Aug 1900. John quit his job in Cincinnati when the
meatpacking plant unionized and went to Charlestown, WV. After catching malaria there he moved his family back to Ohio, to Lima, where he set up shop as a butcher. They discovered that the Peter Baum family of Lima was also from Laichingen (they were cousins on the Erb side), who operated a saloon in town. He had in the meantime lost his shop and was working for Hoegner and Cantieny, which was a meat-packing firm. He worked part-time after 1940 until his death.[Family Register 1808 - Pg 67.FTW]
