Henry Buehman's BIOS:
Henry Buehman
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913, page 830
Henry H. Buehman was a pioneer in Tucson since 1874. He
was born in Breman Germany, May 14, 1851, where he received
a public school education. In his fifteenth year he became
an apprentice in the photograph business and mastered the
art in all of its details. In June 1868 he boarded a
steamer for San Francisco via the Isthmus of Panama.
After a residence of one year in San Francisco, being
in the employ of a firm of photographers, Mr. Buehman
determined to be his own master and opened up an establishment
in Visalia California. After two years residence he traveled
over large portions of California, Nevada and Utah and reached
Prescott early in July 1874. Here equipping himself with
spring wagon and span of mules, Mr. Buehman started on a
long trip to Mexico but reaching Tucson he abandoned the
trip to Mexico and settled down to business in the old
Pueblo. He purchased a lot on Congress Street, adjoining
the site now occupied by the Arizona National Bank, and
proceeded to erect an adobe building, consisting of three
suites of rooms for residence purposes.
In October 1882 Mr. Buehman married Miss Estelle Morehouse
of Portland Michigan. He served on the board of school
trustees, the board of trustees of the Territorial Reform
School at Benson and in 1894 was elected mayor of Tucson
serving two terms.
An artist by profession he was truly that in spirit.
Children's pictures were his specialty and delight and
his love and tact wit the little ones were such that he
was successful in winning over the most obstinate
subjects for portraiture.
This truly noble life, for he was universally beloved by
all who knew him came to its close from pneumonia on
December 19, 1912. Mr. Buehman accumulated considerable
property being in the cattle business for several years,
his ranch being located in the foothills of the Catalina's,
eight miles from San Pedro. He left his wife comfortably
provided for and two promising sons, Willis and Albert.
Willis, the elder son has been for several years
accountant and cashier of the El Tivo Copper Company at
Silver Bell with offices in New York and Philadelphia.
Albert, the younger, though a mining man, having
graduated from the Michigan College of Mines with a
degree in mining engineering, took up and carried on
his father's business, accomplishing the art of
photography.
