LOUIS BUHN is one of the stirring citizens of Old Tehachapi. He came to 
California in 1863, and after working two years in San Francisco as a gardener, 
went to the mines of Butte County. In 1870 he came to Tehachapi, from which 
point he prospected and mined for about eight years, making some promising 
mineral discoveries, and now operating several claims. He has also interested 
himself in agricultural pursuits. He owns 400 acres of farming, grazing and 
timber lands at Old Tehachapi, a portion of which is in a high state of 
cultivation, and on which he has about sixty bearing apple trees, two hundred 
and fifty cherry trees, twenty-seven pear trees, and an assortment of other 
fruits.
   Mr. Buhn was born in 1843, in Baden, Germany, and his wife is a native of the 
same place. They were married on January 17, 1875, and have seven children, 
namely George L., Frederick W., Annie E., Frank H., Rosie E., Lena M and Gustave 
W. Like the majority of his country men, Mr. Buhn is a man of thrift and energy. 
He is public-spirited and highly respected.
