Businessman. Co-founder, along with Lewis Miller, of the Buckeye Mower and Reaper Works in Akron, Ohio. He sponsored the construction of Buchtel College in Akron which opened in 1872. The College burned to the ground on December 20, 1899. The street in front of the building was re-named Buchtel Ave. The name Buchtel dose not appear anywhere on the family plot. The main monument shows only a large “B” inscribed at the top, and the grave stones show only the first names.  Family links:  Spouse:  Elizabeth Davidson Buchtel (1821 – 1891)* *Calculated relationship
