Burkhardt L. Buenzle
Burkhardt Leodegar Buenzle and his wife, the former Catherine "Kate" Albisser, lived in Cramer Hill at 1144 North 24th Street from the 1880s until their deaths in the early 1930s.
Burkhardt Leodegar Buenzle was born on October 22, 1857, in Zurich, Switzerland. His wife was born in November 1857. They were married in Switzerland in 1878 and came to America shortly afterwards, settling first in Philadelphia, where son Joseph Anthony was born on August 26, 1880. The family was still in Philadelphia as late as 1883. By September 1886 the Buenzles had moved to Camden. The Buenzles were Catholics and soon affiliated with St. Joseph's Church on Howell Street in what is now East Camden.
Catherine gave birth to 12 children; sadly only one, Joseph Anthony Buenzle, survived them. A son, William Joseph, born in Camden in September 1886, died in 1913 at the age of 21. A daughter, Amelia, died in 1906 after childbirth. Amelia's son, William Seidelmann, was raised by Burkhardt and Catherine. All of the other children died at birth or shortly afterward.
Catherine Buenzle died on February 17, 1930, in Camden. Her husband, Burkhardt, joined her on September 15, 1931.
