Morton Prairie Roots 1776-1976; Page 529
John A. Blaich was born September 8, 1840 in Cleveland, Ohio. He enlisted in, and was mustered in the Army of the Cumberland at Coldwater, Michigan on May 28, 1861, as a private for three years, in Battery A, First Regiment, Michigan Vol. Light Artillery, under Capt. Cyrus Loomis. Moved to West Virginia June 12, 1861. He was in about 26 battles and skirmishes until he was honorably discharged January 15, 1864, and reenlisted the same day as a veteran for three more years or the duration of the Civil War. Was in several more battles, and was honorably discharged July 28, 1865 by reason of close of war.
He married Anna Hasse, whose parents had come from Saxon, Germany, and settled near Cleveland, Ohio, at Detroit, Michigan on the 24th day of September 1865. They had six children, Albertina born July 30, 1866 at Detroit, Michigan; Benjamin born April 22, 1868 at Cleveland, Ohio; Emma born July 26, 1871 at Detroit, Michigan; Frank born October 5, 1873 at Cleveland, Ohio; Charles born June 12, 1876 and Lydia born December 19, 1879 both of Cleveland, Ohio.
The family came to North Dakota in 1885 and took up a Homestead North of Sweet Briar and Northwest of Mandan. He and his son Frank hauled government supplies from Mandan to Fort Yates with wagons pulled with horses in 1890 - the time when Sitting Bull was killed. When they got to Fort Yates they had to go over the Missouri River by boat to sleep at the then town of Winona. No civilians were allowed overnight at the Fort. Being a carpenter he helped build the start of the Russell Miller Mail at Mandan. He also hauled coal dug out of his Homestead at Mandan 15 miles away for one dollar a ton.
He passed away in January 1898 and was buried on the home place.
Later re-buried in Mandan Union Cemetery. Anna Blaich, his wife, passed away at Torrence, California, in March 1927 and was brought back and buried by her husband at the Mandan Cemetery.
