    Notes:

    Owner of Vorder Giebel

    Niklaus also had a daughter. He died early, so there is no will outlining the separation of the estate.

    Great grandson Ruedi said that a Baeregg-Fritz told him that Niklaus had a beard and used to give him nuts from a tree. Another person told him that he was rather frugal.

    Niklaus was noted by Ruedi Gerber to be Armendirektor, or a bookkeeper responsible for looking after the poor in the village.

    According to Ruedi Gerber of Vorder Giebel in "Usere Altvordern" document, father Christian passed down to this Niklaus in 1839 1 large farm house, 1 cow barn, 1 Speicher, 1 "Bauchehaus?", 1 house at Giebelkelle, 1 bee apieri, and "Moos" (could be a wetland area or Giebelmoos). he held back the Schwandgraben" portion of Lohngratalp for its timber.

    Niklaus married Barbara Aeschlimann on 7 May 1819 in Luetzelflueh, Bern, Switzerland. Barbara (daughter of Johannes Aeschliman and Barbara Gerber) was born in 1797; was christened on 15 Oct 1797 in Langnau (im Emmental), Bern, Switzerland; died on 13 Nov 1861 in Langnau (im Emmental), Bern, Switzerland; was buried on 16 Nov 1861 in Langnau (im Emmental), Bern, Switzerland.

    Other Events:

    • Address: Vorder Giebel, near Langnau in Emmental, Bern, Switzerland

    Notes:

    Owner of Vorder Giebel

    He sold his farm to Ulrich for $60,000, which was worth 250,000 Swiss Francs at the time of his death. Adjusted for inflation, that is worth more than $2 million USD. He loaned out much money as there were many debt letters found at the time of his death. His wealth may have partially be due to him being an only child.

    Built the Stöckli at Giebel with meeting room for the church. He held the title of "steward of the poor" at the church.

    His wife, a Gerber from the original Gerber house (Baumgarten), was known for her beauty and work ethic.

    According to Ernst and Clara's travel log (8 Sept 1929), Christian was mentioned as the person who built the church.

    Ruedi said he felt his father, Ulrich, was too interested in cattle trading, but he admired his grandfather Christian who promoted the reunions of the Neutäufer in the Versammlungshaus, or meeting house. This is known as the Stöckli which he built where the Küherhaus/Hüsli used to be. A "küher" was a high-level farm hand who was responsible for caring for the cattle. Apparently, the existing Stöckli has "NG 1862" inscribed on it, referring to Niklaus Gerber.

    Anna Elisabeth was said to be from Alteneischeuer or Alteneischürli. Her ancestors, came from Baumgarten. Her parents lived at Baumgarget at her birth.

    Christian married Anna Barbara Gerber on 19 May 1854 in Thun, Switzerland. Anna (daughter of Ulrich Gerber and Barbara Gerber) was born on 9 Jun 1835; was christened on 21 Jun 1835; died on 27 Feb 1892. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    From Markus Kaufman on 27 Apr 2013:

    On your website, I found an entry of the farm Gratweidli in Escholzmatt. I have myself ancestors who were born in the Gratweidli. For a photobook of our family, we are looking for a photograph of the house Gratweidli. Today this house is not existing anymore and the fields are covered with forest. The current owner is Rosmarie Gerber from Aussergrat. Previously it was owned by a Gerber relative who lives in the US or Canada. He is 85 year old now. If you would have a photograph of this house Gratweidli, who was occupied still in the early 19hundreds..in 1950 there were still some walls but today nothing is left of this house.

    Thank you very much for your help finding a photograph of the house Gratweidli in Escholzmatt, LU. It was occupied until 1920 by the Kaufmanns from the Kurüti (Churüti). Johann Kaufmann moved to the Gratweidli and raised his children there, one of them, Anton Kaufmann, was my grandfahter, he died in 1966.

    Sincerely Yours
    Markus Kaufmann

    Ruedi said he felt his father, Ulrich, was too interested in cattle trading, but he admired his grandfather Christian who promoted the reunions of the Neutäufer in the Versammlungshaus, or meeting house. This is known as the Stöckli which was built where the Küherhaus/Hüsli used to be. A "küher" was a high-level farm hand who was responsible for caring for the cattle. Apparently, the existing Stöckli has "NG 1862" inscribed on it, referring to Niklaus Gerber.

    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.
