After completing his apprenticeship he was disabled to such an extent with rheumatism that he had to change his vocation, and then spent four years more acquiring the art of shoemaking. In both cases he served the apprenticeship without pay. As a journeyman shoemaker he traveled about working in different districts of Germany, and while at Grodenkneden, the Providence of Oldenburg, he met and married in 1866 Miss Catherine M. Luken. She was born and reared in that locality. On September 21, 1867, their first child, Henry, was born, and a year from that date, on September 21, 1868, the family landed at Baltimore, Maryland, from a sailing vessel which had carried them from Bremen in seven weeks. In Baltimore, Henry Kuester rented a house and lived for one year, and in 1869 moved out to Indiana, locating at Medaryville, Pulaski County. There he bought a small home, and the lot on which it stood is now the site of the First National Bank at Medaryville. In that location, Charles H. Kuester was born October 24, 1869. For twelve years, Henry Kuester, the father, labored at his trade as boot and shoemaker in Medaryville, but in 1880 moved his family to North Judson in Starke County. Here he erected a small shop on Main Street, and continued industriously at his chosen trade until his death on March 24, 1886, being then forty-seven years and three days old. He was a man of untiring industry, skillful as a mechanic, provided well for his family, and among his associates was esteemed for his intelligence. Taken from A Standard History of Starke County, Indiana, 1915.
