Abstract: In 1905, newlyweds Ferdinand Busch and Rosa Berning migrated to their new LaMoure County farm (Section 13, Henrietta Township, Berlin). They came from Hazel Green Township, Grant County (Wisc.) (near Dubuque). The North Dakota farm remained in the family till their last surviving child, Vincent Busch, died in 2015.
In 1907, Ferd and Rosa’s sister and brother, August Berning and Christina Busch, married and took up farming on the adjoining acreage of Section 13 of Henrietta Township. In all, 22 children were born to the two couples, 19 of them surviving to become adults.
This collection includes about 1,000 photographs, nearly all captioned, from pre-1900 forward, most from 1907-1972. Also included are 127 blog posts and other internet stories written by descendant Dick Bernard from about 2005-2018.
There were nine children born to Rosa and Ferd Busch from 1907 to 1927. One child, Verena, died at 15 in 1927. Her siblings Lucina, Esther, Mary and George became career school teachers; Florence taught for a time and married a farmer; Art became an electrical engineer; Edithe and Vincent remained on the farm. All had very deep roots in North Dakota.
Thirteen children were born to Christina and August Berning, the sibling neighbors in Section 13. Seven children were born in North Dakota and six in Dubuque IA or area.
The Bernings lived on their Henrietta farm from 1907-1920, and again from 1933 to the 1950s. From 1920-33 they lived in Dubuque IA. Two of their children, Irwin, the eldest, and Ruth, #8, died as infants. The others, in order of birth between 1908 and 1928, were Irene, Lillian, Cecilia, Rose, August, Hyacinth, Ruby (Ruth’s twin), Rufina, Agnes, Anita and Melvin.
Eight of the Berning girls became housewives. Agnes became a Nun. Rufine and Anita were registered nurses. August Jr. became a printer; Melvin’s career was as a civil engineer. Cecilia was a national champion level shooter with firearms.
These children, as the Busch’s, became accomplished and good citizens.
Cousins George Busch and August Berning, Jr. were military officers (Navy and Marines) in WWII; Art Busch and Melvin Berning were also military veterans right after WWII ended and time of Korea conflict. Brother-in-Law Frank Bernard (Grafton) died on the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. Rose Berning’s husband was killed in action over Italy near the end of WWII. Rufine’s husband was a WWII veteran.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH, FERD AND ROSA BUSCH
From History of Berlin, ND (1976), p. 21
Ferdinand W. Busch, son of William and Christine Busch, was born at Cuba City (Wisc.) December 4, 1880; there he received his education and grew to manhood. He married Rose Berning February 28, 1905 at Sinsinawa (Wisc.). Mr. Busch, Fred as everyone knew him, came to North Dakota with his brother Leonard, and a carpenter named John Terfruchte. They came in an immigrant car with some cows, four horses and a few pieces of simple farm machinery. They arrive in Edgeley on March 21, 1905. From there they traveled to the half section northeast of Berlin, that Fred had bought. They built a house and broke u p 80 acres of virgin sod that first summer. Mrs. Busch joined her husband there 6 weeks later. The Buschs made their home there 62 years. Their family of nine children were born and raised there: Verena, George, Arthur, Lucina (Mrs. Duane Pinkney), Esther (Mrs. Henry Bernard), Mary (Mrs. Allen Brehmer), Florence (Mrs. Bernard Wieland), Vincent and Edith. Fred was active in community affairs, served on the township and school boards. Mrs. Busch directed the choir and played the organ in the church at Berlin for many years.
The Busches celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary on March 5, 11967. It was shortly after this Fred passed away, March 17, after having suffered a coronary heart attack. Mrs. Busch continued to live on the farm with her son Vincent, who took over the management of the farm, and daughter Edith. Mrs. Busch passed away August 3, 1972.

00866 Three photos of August Berning (b 1879) probably very early 1900s Wisconsin

00870 Gerhard (George) Berning with wife, children and families probably about 1920 (he died 1921) at the Berning home in Hazel Green Twp, rural Louisburg Wisconsin. Rosa Busch is third from left. Her sister Julia and daughter Mary Emily are to Rosa’s left
00871 “at Aunt Celia’s J 17 ‘31” with mother Christina Berning (seated at right) who died 10/21/1931. Rosa Busch is seated at left; Esther Busch is standing second from right. Wisconsin
00872 The Berning home in Hazel Green Township, Grant Co Wisconsin probably before 1920
00873 The Berning family at the Berning home perhaps about 1921. Christina Berning is third from left. Quite likely the couple with the young child is Christina and August Berning, to whom twins were born in 1920, one of the twins died at a very young age. The young person may be Ruby Berning, the surviving twin. It is not known exactly when Ruth died. In 2015 her surviving sister said she was about two when she died. Wisconsin
00874 Possibly Ruby Berning same time/place as 873 above. Wisconsin
00875 Possibly same as 873 Wisconsin
00876 same as 873. The taller young girl is likely Mary Emily Berning, then about 11. Wisconsin

00878 George and Christina Berning ca 1921 Wisconsin
00879 “April 28, 1921” George and Christina Berning at Berning home. This is also said to be George Bernings date of death, so there is an inconsistency. Wisconsin
00880 The Berning girls probably about the time of their fathers death. Rosa Busch is the person in the middle of the picture. Wisconsin
00881 Series of photos (881-885) of George and Christina Berning before 1920 (see side notation on 884) This may have been some significant event, such as 45th anniversary or such, possibly involving friends and neighbors. Their first child was born in 1872, so they probably married in 1871; if so 45th anniversary would have been in 1916.) Wisconsin
00882 same Wisconsin
00883 same, with large group. It appears that Ferd Busch may be the man in the back at far right. If so, there may have been an occasion for a trip back from North Dakota. Wisconsin

00889 “4 Berning sisters”, unknown names. Date probably 1940s Wisconsin
00890 “aunts Lidwina Bertha Florence” handwriting likely Rosa Busch, her sisters Lidwina and Bertha and her daughter, Florence, with “aunts”. Wisconsin
00891 “from left to right Art & wife, Will & wife, Wilbert & wife, Mrs. Walter Lange, his siter Delia is hidden, Pa and I”. Probably 50th anniv of Celia and and Frank Lange. Not sure they had children of their own, so the others may be Langes. Wisconsin
00892 “Lidia, Cecilia and Bert” sisters of Rosa Busch Wisconsin
00893 “Langes golden wedding” Frank and Cecilia with cake. Wisconsin
