• Notes

  Purchased Giebelkelle from his father in 1885. It also appears from a chart at a Gerber Reunion he may have lived in "Weg" at Trubschachen prior to moving to Reinach. Later moved to Reinach - letter from Heinrich Gerber to Paul Gerber on 2 July 1993. According to Ruedi of Vorder Giebel, Christian didn't make large payments (or increased in payments) as he leased Giebelkelle.
