Wilhelm (aka William) was the son of Jakob & Wilemina Frank Schussler.
According to a family diary, Wilhelm was a soldier in the Prussian army in 1860. He probably fought against Austria in 1866. In a paper dated Jan 20, 1868 he and Christina were granted a release from ties to Prussia which had the effect of loss of status as a Prussian subject.
Immigrated to America in 1868 from Schwarzenau, Prussia, with his first wife, Christina Humrighausen. They settled in Old Town Valley, York Township, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio. (The home was located at the end of what was later called Campbell Rd. SW, New Philadelphia, OH.)
In Oct 1870, Christina gave birth to a daughter Ida, but in Dec 1870 Christina died of complications from the birth.
In Nov 1871 Wilhelm, who was 34, married 18-year-old Barbara Kehrli.
They lived in Old Town Valley on the Schussler homestead - a small farm with several outbuildings including a rug weaving shop.
Wilhelm was naturalized on Oct 6, 1873.
