Person:Heinrich Busking (1)

HEINRICH was probably born in CAMMER, Schaumburg-Lippe, or in another little village in the FRILLE area of the principality.

Was his surname originally: BUESCHKING? This is as far back as the Busking Family research goes.

"H. Christian" was a joiner (carpentry), and resided at 144 Huron Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. The street was renamed in circa 1905 to Lexington Avenue, and the numbering system was also changed. The house no longer exists; having been destroyed in the construction of the Interstate Highway Inner Loop in the 1970s. The home was two doors to the west of his son Christian Busking.

H. C. Busking had at least 29 grandchildren! Possibly 7 additional grandchildren at the time of his death! Even more were born after his death! Despite this great number, his surname has died out, and all those grandchildren produced very few descendants, living today (2013).

His was the first burial in the Busking Family plot, on the north side of Concordia Cemetery, where there was space for 17 burials. There may be one unused gravesite. A circa 1964 image of his tombstone is in the "Image Gallery" of this website. Unfortunately, by 2013 the stone has almost weathered away!
