Louis Amedé de Büren would leave Switzerland in June of 1829 and arrive in Madison, Indiana later that year. He bought a tract of land and settled down to farm. Not soon after his arrival in Madison he would marry in 1830 a fellow Swiss emigrant, Anna Bühler from La Neuveville on the Lake of Biel. Anna would give Louis seven children, but would die tragically in the delivery of twins in 1842. Louis would sell the farm in 1848 and would move onto Decatur, Tennessee.
