Valentine Gutgsell was born 10 February 1844 in house Nr. 79 Pfaffenweiler, Breisgau, Germany. His parents were Andreas and Anna (Scherle) Gutgsell. On 23 Feb 1854 the family left Pfaffenweiler for America. They traveled the land/river route to LeHavre, France, via Strasbourg. Ariving at New Orleans, they made their way to Dubois County in Indiana via the Mississippi and Troy on the Ohio. They settled near Jasper where other immigrants from Pfaffenweiler had come earlier. Until marrying, Valentine lived with his parents near the South East corner of the intersection of the Troy Road and the Schnellville – Huntingburg Road (Maltersville*) in the heart of Dubois County. He took-up his father’s occupation as a 'Landwirt' ... farmer. Valentine and Mary Marie Buechler were married in 21 January 1863. They purchased a part of the original homestead to the South. He continued on as a farmer. This was Valentine's residence at the time of his Civil War enlistment. He was mustered into service at Indianapolis on 21 February 1865. Twenty years old at the time of his enlistment, he was 5' 11' tall, had a dark complexion with dark hair and brown eyes. His outfit, the 143rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry, Company E did duty in Nashville, Murfreesboro, Tullahoma, again at Nashville, then Clarksville and finally Fort Donelson. He was promoted to the rank of Corporal on 01 July 1865. He mustered out with the Regiment at Nashville, TN on 17 October 1865. A friend (and future brother-in-law), John Baudendistel, served with him in Co. E. John died while the Regiment was at Tullahoma, Tenn. and is buried there in the National Cemetery. After the war, Valentine returned home to his wife and farming. They had seven children. His wife, Mary, died 23 August 1881. On 11 September 1883, he married (Mary) Elizabeth Baudendistel. Elizabeth was John Baudendistel’s sister. From this union my grandfather, William, was born. Valentine died 21 September 1897 and is buried in the 'old' St. Joseph Church Cemetery, Jasper, Dubois County, Indiana. Upon his death, Elizabeth began receiving an $8 Federal Widow’s Pension. She also received $2 per month for son William until his sixteenth birthday. Elizabeth died 03 November 1939. ______________________________________________________________________________ * In Maltersville, in the Northwest corner of the crossroads, was a 'Way Station-Roadhouse'. It was located midway between the towns of Schnellville and Huntingburg. The house was made-up of a saloon and living quarters on the ground floor and a dance hall and two boarding rooms on the second. This 'house' was the last living place of Valentine and Elizabeth Gutgsell. ______________________________________________________________________________
