The Hess Family from Hessvilee Indiana 1800 to 21st Century
By Kathleen Sandra Karr.
Joseph Hess Sr. came to the United States at the age of 21. We believe the year was 1846. He was born in 1825 in Alsace Lorraine. A region in North East France, which was French Alsace and German Lorraine. This area was occupied by Germany in 1871, but returned to France by the Treaty of Versailles, and once again in 1944, after the Germans occupation ended. The town or village is not known as of yet. Joseph Hess was a Baker by trade. Some people even called him a french baker, but Lorraine, Hess, she believed he was German ? The area was at war so often during history it was French and then German to many times. He was one of three sons, and one daughter. In or about the year 1852 Jospeh Hess settled in the area, now known as Lake county Indiana. Either West Point, or Gibson Station. He conducted an eating house there for a short time, and moved to the place, which was named in his honor. Since he was the first white settler in the area, it was called Hessville, Indiana. Jospeh, became the Post Master, of the settlement of Hessville for almost 40 years. Jospeh Hess died in 1895, a devoted Catholic. He was buried in the old Hessville Cemetery, at the age of 70.
