Heussers of Bertram A Pioneer Immigrant Family
The Heusser family of Bertram's early settlement era is highlighted with Edith Heusser and Mrs. N Oliver Cox credited for supplying details. John Jacob “Uncle Jake” Heusser, born 1858 in Zurich, arrived 1880 in New York and found work across Georgia and Louisiana before settling in Texas in 1882. He helped build the Austin and Northwestern Railroad to Bertram, later farming near South Gabriel and raising a family, including Edith and Wilson. The two-story Dorhandt home east of Bertram has housed the Heussers since 1906, with Edith remaining in residence as of the article's writing.
