Survey of Gruetli Church Records (Columbus, NE) by Mrs. Uhlmann (now deceased).
Note: Mrs. Uhlmann remembered Emma (Schober) GUTZWILLER!  She had immigrated from Switzerland herself, as a teenager, and her Mother would send her to Gutzwiller's Bakery almost daily. She said she not only got the traditional "baker's dozen" for the family, but another extra bun to eat on her walk home! It was a favorite chore. Knowing she was lonely, Grandma Gutzwiller introduced her to any young people that were around the shop.

Mrs. Uhlmann found that Elise (GERBER GUTZWILLER) GASSMAN was god-parent of a baby born to M/M Joseph BUCHER. That infant died within a short time.
BUCHERs and GASSMANs were later neighbors in San Bernardino, CA. BUCHERs lived on Baseline Ave, just east of Muscott Street. VEG checked on the Widow BUCHER and her sister, until the day he found them in very bad health, and notified relatives in Columbus - who arranged for end of life care. Believe I was about 3 years old when this occurred. -- CJGM

Austrian Family Notes in Bankbook of Eberhard "Wilhelm" GASSMAN
Following death of his only child, "Grandpa" Gassman decided to make VE Gutzwiller his heir. His reasoning - all the money used to start the bakery, etc. had come from Elise's first husband - Virgil GUTZWILLER.

He asked EF Schober to bring Vic Gutzwiller to California. He wanted to leave specifics of Dad's Austrian relatives with the lawyer, and made notes in his bankbook while interviewing Grandpa Schober!
Unfortunately, he left NO notes about his own family. All we've ever learned - EW GASSMAN was born in Germany of a German Father & a Swiss Mother whose maiden name was ZEISS.
