White: Martin Schechinger, son of Martin and Katherine Schechinger, was born in Bavaria, Germany, March 24, 1856. Martin Schechinger Jr. came to America before his parents arrived on these shores. He was 17 years of age when he landed at New York harbor in 1873. He at once located in LaSalle County, Illinois. After working as a laborer there for three years he came to Shelby County, Iowa, and worked with his father until he was 29 years of age, when he married and bought a farm of 120 acres, on which he began farming for himself. Year after year has found him more prosperous and his farm of 400 acres in Lincoln township in this county is a glowing tribute to his successful career as an agriculturist. He also owns 320 acres in the state of Oklahoma, to which he gives his own careful supervision. He has on an average of 140 acres of corn each year which produces about 7, 500 bushels of corn. He also has at least 100 acres of other produce most of which he feeds to his livestock. Mr. Schechinger was married August 20, 1884, to Anna Buch, daughter of Peter and Mary (Luecke) Buch, and to this union 8 children have been born: Kate, Francis, Martin, Nicholas, Valentine, Anna, Clara, and Anton.

Immediately after their marriage, Peter Paul and Mary Buch came to America and located in Keokuk County, Iowa, settling there in 1855. Mr. Buch was an olive oil manufacturer in his native land, but upon coming to America, engaged in farming. He came to Shelby County, Iowa, in 1883 and purchased 160 acres of land in Lincoln township on which he lived until 1911 when he retired from active farm life and moved to Carroll, Iowa, where he is now living. Peter Buch and wife were the parents of ten children: Michael, Mrs. Anna Schechinger, Henry, Nicholas, John, Mrs. Mary Schuetz, Mrs. Rosa Hammond, Barbara, Nicholas and one who lives in Carroll County, Iowa.
