Notes:
The following information was abstracted from Book 1 of the Declaration of Intentions which begins in October 1906. This book contains 100 records of which 50 are given here. These records are located in the office of the Clerk of District Court, Nemaha County Courthouse, Seneca, KS:
"Fred GERBER, farmer, aged 22, of Oneida, Kansas, was born on 11 Aug 1885 in Laungua, Switzerland. Fred immigrated from Laungua, Switzerland aboard the Sampaen. He arrived in New York on 22 Jan 1902. Fred Gerber filed a declaration of intention to become a citizen of the United States on 23 Dec 1907 with the district court of Nemaha County. (page 8)"
Note: immigration information does not match exactly. However, phoenetically, Sampaen and Champagne are very similar. The birth dates match, and dates of arrival in the US are within 5 days.
Fritz married Emma Heinen on 9 Mar 1910 in Seneca, Nemaha County, Kansas, USA. Emma (daughter of John Heinen and Rosa Heck) was born about 1883 in Illinois, USA; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
