    • The history of the Sacred Heart Church of Reedsburg, dates from 1880, which was the year the first Catholic Church of Reedsburg was erected. For some time previous, however, there had been mass meetings, conducted by the Rev. Father Whiteof Baraboo, in several private homes. As early as 1876 Mrs. E. F. Buelow, a resident of Reedsburg, began to circulate a subscription among those of her faith in the village, and in a few years the sum had amounted to enough so that in the fall of 1879 work was begun on the erection of a church. It was completed in 1880, dedicated that spring, and cost $1,200. The subscribers to the fund and members of the parish were the families of Paul Bishop, Patrick Tierney, Peter Byrne, Stephen Timlin, William Horkan, E. F. Buelow, Edward Timlin, Mrs. Frank Ingalls, William Boehn, Frank Meckler and Mrs. Lassallette.

    Obituary
    • Obituary:Buelow
      Edward F. Buelow died March 21st at the Reedsburg Sanitarium after an illness of three months. His death came as a shock to his family as he seemed to be regaining health and strength. The absent ones had returned to their various homes after being called here and staying with him two weeks.
      The subject of this sketch was born in Gros Poflow, Germany, Feb. 28th 1830, coming to America at the age of 21 years, settling in Reedsburg. Was married to Miss Bode Hoban in 1856. Twelve children were born to them, three dying in infancy. He buried his wife 25 years previous to his death, she leaving four of the children small to whom he proved both a devoted father and mother. He was a member of the G.A.R. and another one of our Civil War veterans to be taken from our midst in the last few months. At the outbreak of war he enlisted in the 12th Reg. Co. B, being leader of the regimental bands during his five years of service, taking part in the surrender of Vicksburg and Sherman's march to the sea.
      Mr. Buelow retired from an active business life twenty years ago but never lost interest in Civic improvements being a strong advocate and supporter of city development. At one time he was one of our largest property owners. At the time of his death, he was president of the Everitt-Buelow Co., Houston, Texas, an exclusive women's shop organized two years ago and it had proven one of his best investments. He spent winters the last eight years in the south where he leaves a large circle of friends and acquaintances to miss him.
