Johann and Christina Kuch were married in Brienne, Bessarabia, Russia in 1883 and emigrated to the United States in 1887.  They spent one month in Scotland, S.D., and another month in Bowdle, S.D., before moving to Expansion by ox team and covered wagon. They homesteaded on a farm 14 miles north of Hazen.

Johann and Christina had five children: Johann, Ernestine, Emma, Ernest and Rosalie. Rosalie and her father died in 1893. Christina married Frederick Adolf later that year and they had nine children.
