A.C. Buss was born on 5/28/1866 in New Bremen, one of nine children born to William and Kathryn (Maurer) Buss, natives of Germany. He was a grandson of Philip Jacob Maurer, an early settler of New Bremen. He was the only graduate of the N.B.H.S. Class of 1884, after which he taught school in German Township and New Bremen. He also attended Ohio State University for two years. In January 1888, he returned to New Bremen to become owner of The New Bremen Sun, which had been established in 1886 by C.M. Smith. He served as managing editor until April 24, 1903, when Fernando W. Bruns took over as manager and Emil G. Conradi and Fridolin T. Purpus took over as publishers. The SUN office at that time was located below the postoffice at the southeast corner of Main and Monroe Streets. Mr. Buss was also one of the organizers of the New Bremen Telephone Company in 1897, the New Bremen Brick Company, the New Bremen Handle Company, and the A.H. May Implement Company. In 1909, Mr. Buss went to St. Marys to edit the St. Marys Graphic, a weekly publication owned by The Leader Printing Company. Two years later, he became owner of the paper and also founded a job-printing business for the White Mountain Creamery of New Bremen which he named The Creamery Patron Printing Co. and which published a monthly magazine. He later discontinued publication of the weekly newspaper, but in 1926 he returned to the publication business when the newspaper publishing company and the job-printing business merged. In 1928, he became Editor of The Evening Leader (established around 1905) and wrote many interesting and thought-provoking editorials. He was a former postmaster of New Bremen, serving under Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt (from 6/8/1897 to 2/16/1904). At the time of his death, he was the President of the St. Marys Community Building & Loan Co. Albert C. Buss was married on 5/28/1893 to Anna C. Huenke of New Bremen. Anna died 5/30/1909 and on 4/23/1911, Albert remarried, to Mrs. Sarah E. (Henning) Barrington. Albert and Anna had six children: Homer William Buss, Mrs. Carl H. Stoll (Kathryn Louise Buss), Mrs. Lowell E. Botkin (Louise Charlotte Buss), Albert Huenke Buss, Mrs. Herbert M. Blair (Annabel Emma Buss), and Anna Dorothy Buss who died in infancy, just six days before her mother. Albert's two sons, Homer W. and Albert H., and his son-in-law, Herbert Blair, were associated with Albert C. at The Evening Leader. Grandchildren of A.C. and Anna Buss are William Albert Buss; Dorothy Ann, James Edward, & Martha Stoll; Harold Buss Botkin; Suzanne Buss; and Catherine Ann & Brice Herbert Blair. Mr. Buss was survived by a brother, Walter Buss, of Atwater, California.
