Family story is that Henry had a brother out in Arkansas that he had goneout to help. It is further said that he came to America with family notjust by himself. We have found "Giesecke" family in the Hocking Co.,Ohio area that are known cousins. Notice the different spelling, this ishow it is spelled in Germany. Since those Hocking Co. folks would not berelation to the Krumm family we have not pursued further information onthem

- ↑ "HENRY GIESECK - In the history of the agricultural development ofLicking County mention should be made of Henry Gieseck, who, for manyyears, was closely associated with the farming interests of Limatownship and was also known as a practical and progressiveagriculturist. He was born in the district of Hildesheim, Hanover,Germany, November 25, 1829, and his life record covered the interveningyears to the 5th of August, 1888, when he passed away in Arkansas. Thedays of his boyhood and youth were spent in the fatherland and then,hearing favorable reports concerning the business conditions andopportunities in the new world, he sailed for the United States, landingon American shores on the 2d of June, 1852. He was entirely withoutcapital but he possessed a stout heart and willing hands and with theseto serve as a ground work for success he continued steadily on, yearafter year, until he laid the foundation for a comfortable fortune. Hewas employed as a section boss on the Central Ohio Railroad, atColumbus, at the time he was married. He wedded Fredericka Krumm, whowas born in Franklin county, Ohio, November 3, 1836, and is a daughterof Martin and Mary (Younger) Krumm, of whom mention is made elsewhere inthis volume, in connection with the sketch of Philip Krumm.
For some time after his marriage Mr. Gieseck continued to work onthe railroad and was road master when he finally severed his connectionwith railroad interests. He carefully saved his earnings as the earspassed until his capital was sufficient to enable him to purchase a farmand in March 1863, he brought his family to the place in Lima townshipupon which his widow now resides. It is pleasantly and convenientlylocated about a mile and a half north of Wagram. He first bought ninetyacres and with characteristic energy began its development andimprovement. As the years passed he added to this until he was theowner of about five hundred acres of rich and productive land, whichresponded readily to the care and labor he bestowed upon it. He built afine brick dwelling in 1874 and from time to time added othersubstantial buildings, until his farm was well equipped with all thebarns and outbuildings necessary for the shelter of grain and stock. Heused the latest improved machinery in tilling his fields and everythingabout his place indicated his progressive spirit and practical methods.A part of the home place was timber land when he took possession of itand had a saw mill built, cut down the trees and sawed up the timber.He also at one time had a tile factory on his farm and operated it fora number of years. He also superintended the work of furnishing timberto the railroad, cut out ties for the building and repair of the roadand also wood for the engines, for at that day such fuel was used in thelocomotives. He lived a life of intense and well directed activity,working earnestly year after year to provide a comfortable living forhis family, until he became on of the substantial agriculturists andsuccessful business men of Licking county. Prior to his death hedivided his land among his children. In the latter years of his life hepurchased a large tract of timber land in Arkansas and with his son,Charles, went to that place. They took with them a saw mill outfit, itbeing the father's idea to set his son up in business there. Theyarrived in Arkansas in October 1887, and on the 5th of August, 1888, thefather passed away, while on the 18th of January, 1889, the son,Charles, died, being at that time twenty-four years of age, his birthhaving occurred on the 24th of February, 1865.
Mr. and Mrs. Gieseck were the parents of six children: William Henry,who died leaving a wife and six children; David L., who passed awayleaving a wife and two children; Franklin J., who died leaving a wifeand nine children; Christiana, the wife of Ross Robinett, of Limatownship, by whom she has four children; Henrietta Josephone, the wifeof Doss Wickliff of Lima township, by whom she has four children;Charles, who died in Arkansas.
Mrs. Gieseck retains the old home, which her husband erected,together with forty acres of land surrounding it. Mr. Gieseck took andactive interest in local politics and held a number of the townshipoffices , giving his political support to the republican party. He wasreared in the Lutheran church and was always a man of uprightprinciples, who never infringed on the privileges of others nor wasknown to take advantage of another in business transactions. He is yetremembered by many who knew him and who valued his friendship while hewas still an active factor in the affairs of life."
