  Father	Niklaus Gerber,   b. 23 Jan 1767,   d. 1 Jan 1830  (Age 62 years)
  Mother	Anna Steiner,   b. 8 Jul 1759, Langnau (im Emmental), Bern, Switzerland ,   d. 5 Jan 1830  (Age 70 years)
  Notes	According to "Zähjs Holz" A Niklaus from Hapbach was married to Anna Steiner, the widow of Ulrich Steiner of Eggiwil. However, that appears to be incorrect. Her marriage record to Niklaus Gerber in the Eherodel shows her last name was Janni at the time of the marriage and that she was born with Steiner surname. There is an inscription on a stove in the house that says, "Komm Wärme dich bei mir. Ich ofen gönn es dir. Niclaus Gerber Anna Steiner 1829" Translated into English, the inscription reads "Come warm yourself by me. I wish you well. Niclaus Gerber and Anna Steiner 1829. [2]
