Notes
a. Note:   NI21248 HERMAN BUCHHOLZ, a pioneer carriage maker, of Janesville, of 1860, now senior partner of the firm of H. Buchholz & Co., the leading carriage and vehicle factory in Rock County, was born in the town of Elbing, Eastern Prussia, on the 15 day of April 1839, and is the son of Ernst and Justina (Horn) Buchholz. He was educated in his native town and learned the trade of carriage maker, of the wood department, in his father's shop. In 1856 he emigrated to America, arriving in Janesville on the 17th day of July, after which he worked as a journeyman at his trade in the employ of Robert Hodge, carriage maker, until 1860, when, having saved up some money, he bought an interest in the business, and the firm became Hodge & Buchholz. That connection continued for twenty-one years, or until the death of Mr. Hodge, in 1882. Mr. Buchholz then carried on the business alone until May, 1887, when Clarence W. Jackman was admitted into partnership under the firm name of H. Buchholz & Co. They manufactured omnibuses, wagonettes, carriages, carts, and deal in all sorts of wheel vehicles, sleighs and cutters. The plant of this company cost upwards of $25,000, and consists of one L shaped brick building, three stories high, 46 x 57 feet and 46 x 70 feet; one building, two stories high, 30 x 70 feet; another, 30 x 100 feet, one story; and one, 32 x 60 feet, two stories high. About thirty hands are employed, and the work they turn out is not excelled in any establishment of the kind in the West. During the year 1888, the business amounted to more than $60,000.
  Mr. Buchholz was married at Janesville on the 16th day of January, 1863, to Miss Dorothea Possen (sic), a daughter of Martin and Sophia (Janeike) Possen (sic). Mrs. Buchholz was born in the city of Berlin, Prussia, on the 19th day of March, 1842, and came to America with her parents in 1847, when five years old. The family settled in the town of Theresa, Dodge Co., Wis. In the forest her father made a farm, which he improved and where he now lives in comfort, having reached the advanced age of eighty-eight years. His wife also lived to a good old age, and died July 7, 1881.
  Mr. and Mrs. Buchholz have five children, three sons and two daughters: William, the eldest, born June 3, 1865, is now employed at his trade of carriage trimmer, in Salt Lake City, Utah; Eda Francisco was born May 22, 1867; George Otto and Carl Alexander, twins, were born May 20, 1875 ; the youngest child, Gertrude Alma, was born March 15, 1883, in Janesville, the birthplace of all the other children. Mr. and Mrs. Buchholz and their older children are members of the Lutheran Church. Mr. Buchholz is a Republican in politics and has held the offices of Supervisor and Alderman. He is a member of Western Star Lodge, No. 14, A. F. & A. M .; Janesville Chapter, No. 5, R.A.M.; of Oriental Lodge, No. 22, K. of P.; of Olive Branch Lodge, No. 36, A.O.U.W; and of Concordia Singing Society. Mr. Buchholz is recognized as one of the active and enterpr ising business men of Janesville, who by persevering industry and the exercise of good business ability, has achieved marked success. He began in Janesville with no other capital than skill in his trade and habits of industry and economy. He has worked hard and managed prudently and gradually grew into a prosperous business and a good property and today the establishment of which he is the head is one of the important industries of the city.

 -----------------------------------------------
  Although his parents spelled the surname as Buchholtz (with a "t'), Frederick Herman seemed to use the spelling without the "t", i.e. Buchholz.&nbsp; Occasionally, the surname appears as Buckholz (with a "k").

b. Note:   NF7750 For the 1900 US Census, there was another family living nearby with a striking similarity in names:
  Sheet 1B, District 192, Dwelling 23, Family 24
 Rock Township, Rock County, Wisconsin
 farm rented; married 34 years
 Fred Buchholz..Head..May 1840..60..GERMANY..Immig 1867..Farmer
 Dora Buchholz..Wife..Feb 1842..58..GERMANY..8/4..Immig 1867
 Eda Terwillinger..Dau..Nov 1873..26..WI..married 0 years
  The birth dates are slightly different and this family listed their daughter as still living with them but the real Buchholz family had their daughter, Eda, already married by 1900 and living elsewhere with her husband.
  I'm not sure of any relationship between the two families. The Buchholz surname was common in the area.
