  • Notes 
    • Herman, son of Johann Ernst Heinrich Buhrman, known as Henry Buhrman Sr., was born in Unterlubbe, Kries Minden, westfalen, Konigreich Preuszen, Germany. The family left Germany in 1852, coming to Nashville via New Orleans and St. Louis. the trip took 9 weeks and 4 days and was made by steamboat, railroad, and horse-drawn wagon. The family brought with it a melodeon which was made in Stuttgart, Germany by the Philip trayser Co. and is still in its original condition. It now graces the Washington County Historical Museum, together with other items from the Buhrman household - a gift of Bert Buhrman Jr., his great grandson, and other members of the family. Early in life Herman entered the mercantile business and in later years was appointed postmaster of Nashville, during Pres. McKinley's administration. His father was one of the founders of St. Paul's Evangelical Church in Nashville, where he also was a member and served as an officer.
      From "Hoffmans 1662 - 1962"

      Note: It mayh be that his melodon was used in the first church building which was built by seven men, two of whomwere the senior Buhrman and Hoffman.
