Bartholomew Riehle – Offenburg to America (1794-1876)

Immigrant to Ross County Ohio and Farming Minnesota

The log house shown here was built by Bartholomew Riehle in the summer of 1838. The house and a family cemetery are located in Huntington Township in Ross County Ohio, just off Route 156 or Black Run Road. Bartholomew, his wife Ursula and a number of his children lived in this house from 1838 to 1866 when Bartholomew, disillusioned over the lose of  two of his sons in the Civil War, decided to sell this house and 500 acres of land to his son Heinrich (Henry) Riehle and his wife Phoebe. After the sale, Bartholomew and Ursula moved to Minnesota where they spent the rest of their lives.

With the help of several descendants of Bartholomew Riehle and with a document written by Bartholomew himself, we explore his life and legacy:
