- From Peter Gerber: When WW I started, the sons Camille and Oscar went to Switzerland (as they were still Swiss)in military service. Mathilde went to Basel for working. Their sisters stayed in Sennheim. But in January 1915 the whole family hat to flee and they went to a distand relative (the Kambly-family) in La Neuveville. They stayed at the Kamlbys until the son of Kambly, Paul Kambly had them to move to Trubschachen (a village near Langnau) where he had a bakery (the factory still exists: “Kambly Bisquits”). Btw: Paul Kambly II married a Gerber-descentent as his brother did, you have those two in your files. Christian Gerber (I0388) has had 7 children, a daughter Anna Elisabeth Gerber, 1858 – 1927, I2958 married 1876 Johannes Jakob. Two of their daughters, Emma und Hanna, married Oskar and Paul Kambly. Johann, Camille and the daugthers Elise and Aline worked in the Kambly factory.
