Since 1967, I have been collecting genealogical information on the Akert family of Zürich, Switzerland, as I lived in Germany and then visited Switzerland several times. I am a descendant of Hans Konrad Akert (1794-1865) and Anna Blümli through their twelfth child Hans Heinrich Akert (1836-1907), my great grandfather, who emigrated to America and eventually to Salt Lake City over one hundred years ago. Special thanks are due Dr. Willy E. Akert (1918-) and Hans J. Akert (1921-), sons of the author Ernst (b.1882), Dr. Hns. Konrad Akert (1919-) former President of the University of Zürich who is also mentioned in this volume, and Rolf Akert, son of Ernst Akert (b.1904), all of Zürich, who brought this book to my attention in 1983, presented me with two copies, and showed me landmarks of Zürich and Nussbaumen described herein. Special thanks also are due to those who translated parts of the transcript into English: Timothy Parker, Ph.D., and the late Theo VerHaaren, Ph.D., both worked on a partial translation with me in 1988, and David Bagby worked on versions independently in 1985 and 1993 at the request of Ben Akert of Lincoln, Nebraska. I combined, refined and extensively supplemented the text with biographical, genealogical and pictorial information to create this edition. The additions include autobiographies, biographies and a standard form listing, with biographical notes of ancestors and descendants of Hans Konrad Akert and Anna Blümli, which I compiled with the help of many descendants of this family over nearly thirty years. This work is dedicated to mothers of Akerts everywhere.

Kenneth Reed Allen, Palo Alto, California, March 1996. Translators' Notes This is a translation of a book first published as a manuscript in 1930. The author had shown several inconsistencies in his writing, many of which are undoubtedly due to the nature of the sources. For example, the following spellings are used interchangeably: Caspar=Kaspar; Conrad=Konrad; Frei=Frey; Hütweilen=Hutwylen; Schagi=Schaggi; Wipkingen=Wippkingen. Other inconsistencies are noted: The author wrote that Hans Kaspar Akert (1764-1835) had two sons and five daughters, but in the list of his children in the original text there are three sons and four daughters. The author also mentioned that Mrs. Blümle-Akert spent her life with her son Karl and her daughter Marie after her husbands's death. However the list of the children of the Akert-Blümle marriage does not list a son or son-in- law Karl, and neither did independent reviews of the official City records. The names of both towns mentioned prominently in the text — Nussbaumen and Aussersihl — are written in German with an $ in place of the double ss: Nu$baumen, Au$ersihl. For the English reader, they are rendered in the text with ss, a practice increasingly seen now in contemporary Swiss publications. Both town names can be translated: the literal meaning of Nussbaumen is “nut trees,” that of Aussersihl is “outside of or beyond the Sihl,” a river now running through greater Zürich. The name ‘Zürich’, is often rendered Zurich in English, applies to both the city and the canton (counterpart of a state in the U.S.). Correspondingly, there are two archives mentioned in the text, one for city records and one for canton records: Zürcher Staatsarchiv- Zürich State Archives (Canton archives) Zürcher Stadtsarchiv- Zürich City Archives Brackets [ ] indicate additions or explanations inserted in the text. Parentheses ( ) are from the original text. Footnotes in brackets or explaining a German word marked in italics are editor's additions; all other footnotes are from the original text To aid in identifying location of text in the original translation, original page numbering has occasionally been noted in brackets which numbering begins at [p.4]. Foreword

The following pages have been written in the main for our youngest upcoming generation so they might remember their forefathers with pleasure and with thanks. However, these pages are also relevant to all members of our family and circle of relations still living who have any interest and appreciation for our family's history. It is not to everyone's taste to write a family history, even if it does not go into every detail. Certainly there have always been those of our family who have had a sense of tradition and have desired to remember our forbearers and their times. If it were left to a representative of a later generation to give this memory form and content, he would be filled with particular satisfaction. Although the author was aware from the outset that his work would not bring to light either personalities of rank or experiences of general importance, he never shied from the effort to assemble and compile what he could learn from written and oral traditions about his forefathers. He has been given valuable support from many sides, for which he wishes to express his most heartfelt gratitude. May the present work, which owes its existence to an inbred love of tradition in the family, be considered as worthy as it would intend to be: an unpretentious memorial in honor of and with gratitude to those who have come before us, memorialized in the words of the poet: “Heil dem Manne, der die Blicke gern zu seinen Ahnen kehrt, Seiner Väter soll sich freuen, wer sich fühlt der Väter wert.” “Hail to the man who gladly turns his face to his ancestors, He who feels himself worthy of them should take pleasure in his fathers.” Ernst Akert Zürich, Neptunestrasse 94, New Years Day 1930.

Introduction

There is probably not a person alive who has not wondered at one time or another about his forefathers, who they were, where they came from, what they did for a living, and what factors shaped the course of their lives. It is now interesting to note that many people from all walks of life are taking a renewed interest in these kinds of questions, for we live in an age which seems intent upon a quick and thorough housecleaning of all that is old. We witness daily how, in our fair city of Zürich, one architectural monument after another disappears from the earth to make way for new and modern large edifices. The aspirations of a budding metropolis are not attained without a price. Something akin to this is befalling our citizenry as well. Many a venerated public figure and prominent force in city politics and public life, rooted as he is in the living web and fabric of a past era, has gone to his grave, to be superseded by men of an altogether different breed and perspective. The large-scale comings and goings that are the life blood of the city are reflected on a smaller scale in our own more private, familiar spheres: the continual coming and going, the inexorable growing and passing away. Happily enough some of us are turning more and more to the question of our own roots, perhaps motivated by just this drama of continual change and renewal. Not only are venerable, long respected patrician families, who pride themselves on a glorious past and can boast of many prominent public figures among their ranks, making it their business to trace their family roots and legacy, and leaving behind splendid, artistic compilations for present and future generations, but many a bourgeois family as well, unable to make such boasts, is sparing no effort or cost in order to plumb the depths of their family heritage. As a result a number of very valuable family chronologies have appeared in recent years, of direct value not only to the immediate families and their wider circle of relations but to historians and genealogists as well. [p.6] In his work on family pedigrees, Archive Board Member Dr. Grotesend pays tribute to these endeavors in the following:

11 "It is a welcome sight to behold that, in a time characterized largely by destructive, anti-societal trends, a sense of the family unit is making itself felt, that the desire for more intimate, consistent contact is on the rise in the royal and bourgeois family alike, to gain within the family circle that sense of stability which the individual family member risks losing as he or she follows his or her own path in life. "At a time like ours which places an excessively high premium on the supposed rights of the individual, thereby upsetting to ever greater degree the very foundations of communal life as a whole, at a time in which more than ever before egoism and self interest threaten to vanquish the notions of common good and public spirit, the family refuge and the contemplation of its past is surely the purest and most fertile ground upon which those may draw courage who are still unselfish enough to place the interests of the family unit above the interests of the individual, who is after all, molded and shaped by the family. "The family is the basic and most natural of all social units; it is the foundation and model for all other social and political systems and structures. It is the family, therefore, which, but for the lack of resolve, is most ideally suited to temper the wings of the individual spirit in its striving toward the highest ideals, to strengthen him in his struggle against the self that attempts to dominate the, for the most part, legitimate communal "we", of which the individual self is but a member. "Thus, one ought not to disparage, as is so often the case among the supposedly learned, the endeavors of those who would shed light on their own but dimly perceived family heritage, who member by member piece together their line of forefathers and descendants, in order to learn with whom it was that, together in the common struggle for existence, fate bound them closest." The purpose and import of genealogical research could not have been expressed more appropriately and succinctly. Correspondingly, it is this same spirit that must carry one in such an undertaking, and it was this same spirit that guided the author as he compiled this work. It was not, nor could it be, my intention to write an exhaustive history of the Akert line from Aussersihl-Zürich. The time required would hardly have warranted such an undertaking, aside from which only very little in terms of added knowledge or interesting facts about the Akert line would be gained by additional research. For we are dealing primarily with a rural, farming family whose roots, right up to the present day, lie in the soil, behind the plowshare, and who for the past [p.7] century has remained true to its native soil. It was not until the middle of the 18th century that one of our

12 forbearers first appeared in the vicinity of our present small urban community, namely, Hans Heinrich Akert of Nussbaumen in the Canton of Thurgau. Hans settled in the region of St. Jakob's Church on the Sihl River, and it was he who laid the cornerstone here upon which our family line was to branch out. Based on our family 's essentially rural origins it is easy to see why the chronicler had only scant resources upon which to draw, in terms of illuminating centuries past when our forefathers in their native homeland dutifully plied their agricultural trade. But, if we remind ourselves of the generally routine and uniform life the rural folk tends to lead and of the few opportunities there are for involvement in local affairs, it should come as no surprise that our images and conceptions of life in those distant times must remain sketchy at best. That is not to say that those times were not also marked by wars, or pestilence which decimated the populations of that time, or natural disasters or the like; quite the contrary. We have little indication based on our sources, however, of the extent to which such events may have affected the lives and fortunes of the individual. Even so this author has included dates and moments of history whenever possible in an attempt to infuse life into what otherwise would amount to little more than a dry enumeration of names and dates. This was easier to accomplish, particularly for the time period in which our family first established itself in Aussersihl, then began to grow in prominence, assuming a defined role in local public affairs. In compiling these genealogical notes into book form, I had hoped above all to augment for my reader a family genealogy spanning twelve generations, compiled ten years ago, with living, breathing material, and to collect information which could be gathered with a reasonable effort from documents and the personal memories of family members still living into a succinct picture of the family's evolution. This does not and cannot pretend to be a work of scholarship. Rather it is an intimate family portrait, which captures memories of times and people long since vanished, to be cherished by family members [p. 8] close to home, no less than by those living far away. No less important is the hope that this book may offer the reader welcome insight into heretofore little known or wholly obscure family relations and familiar ties, and so keep alive and perhaps intensify the love and appreciation the reader feels through

13 a heightened awareness of his family tradition. Our family history is not an account of noted dignitaries nor does it relate memorable events or recount the boisterous festivities of a family of noble descent. Rather it acquaints the reader with a family line comprised of simple, respectable people of essentially peasant origins, most of whom still work the soil inherited by their ancestors of long ago. It only redounds to its honor that our family line, since becoming rooted and established in certain parts of Zürich, has engendered many a capable and hardworking member of the artisan and merchant classes.

14 The Family Bible

The work of the researcher of an historical subject is greatly lightened when he can support his work with and build further upon already-available materials. This applies especially to the family researcher faced with the task of preparing a family tree or a family chronicle, a task in which writings left by earlier hands provide a treasured aid. One such source which the compiler was pleased to find is the family bible which has come down to us from the year 1755.1 The bible led a long-forgotten existence until being pulled once more into the light of day by my father, may he rest in peace, from the stone floor or flagstones of the sexton’s [or sacristan’s] house2 on the St. Peterhofstatt [St Peter's courtyard] after the death of his grandfather Melchior Akert in 1894. The bible’s value lies not in its age of almost two hundred years, but in the family tree which graces its last page. The family tree goes back in its earliest entry to Heinrich Akert, “heretofore [ehmalen] belonging to and born in Nussbaumen in the Canton of Thurgäu [hereafter the modern Thurgau], the same (in Stammheim) baptized on the 29th of June, 1732,” and ends with the listing of the fourteen children of his grandson Hans Conrad Akert (1794–1865). The handwriting of these last entries is that of the source of that blessing of children. In the same hand have been preserved for us a great number of diaries from the fourth to the sixth decades of the previous century, of which we will come to speak later on. He, especially, upon whom rested the burden of raising a large number of children – a dozen in all3 – likely took this book often in hand and from it drew comfort and moral uplift and support. For that

The bible is an example of the so-called “Exegesis Bible” (Auslegebibel) published in 1755 and 1756 by Pastor Johannes Kaspar Ulrich at Frauenmunster; the bible has been in the possession of the author since its rediscovery. [from the Estich des Sigristenhauses – from the floor of the house of the sexton/sacristan.] [It may be that two children died in infancy.] 15 reason alone it is a venerable family heirloom.

16 The Origin of the Lineage

Our family name, which like every other was subjected to varied and arbitrary changes, can be traced back with certainty to the middle of the fifteenth century. We find it for the first time in the oldest tax roles of the city and lands of Zürich, held in the Zürich State Archives, In the year 1450 we find the name Akert listed under Guntalingen and Waltalingen as follows4:

Guntalingen:

Clause Acherer pay 6 schilling property tax his wife

Waltalingen:

Hein$li [or Heintzli] Ackrer5 pay 7 schilling property tax his wife his mother

The question of whether the family name appears in still older documents must remain open. In our research we have had to limit ourselves to relatively accessible sources, but we believe that, given the peasant origins of the lineage, we may assume that the listings in the tax books may be viewed as the earliest authenticated occurrences of the name. The two communities of Guntalingen and Waltalingen lay in the furthest, northernmost corner of Zürich Canton near the border to the

Zürcher Staatsarchiv B. III 283, leaves / pages 39 and 40. These first two mentions of the name were incorrectly interpreted by A. Farner in his Geschichte der Kirchgemeinde Stammheim (History of the congregation of Stammheim), p. 72, as Aehrer and Aeckrer. According to Prof. Hegi and Johann Frick, the form given in our text is correct. 17 Thurgau, in the fertile valley of Stammheim, watched over by the castles Schwandegg and Girsberg. Even today they still belong ecclesiastically today [p.11] to the parish of nearby Stammheim. Whether and how long our family lived in these places before these first documented appearances of the line cannot be said with any certainty today. The name does not appear in the tax roles after 1450, but the line continued at least in Waltalingen, as evidenced by entries in the baptismal register of Stammheim which can be followed up to 1550. The line no longer exists in these places today. From 1467 to 1470, an especially important period for Zürich taxation, we find the line in neighboring Nussbaumen, on Thurgau land, where it remained and even today lives on in a great number of families. We find the following entries in the tax books for the period: 1467: Heini Ackrer to pay 5 schillings property tax, his wife 10 id.[the same] head tax6 1468: the same entry appears for this year also.

1469: Heini Ackrer to give 5 schillings property tax, his wife 10 id. head tax.

Claus Ackrer to give 4 shillings property tax, his wife 10 shillings head tax

1470: both of the above entries are repeated for this year.

These entries do not, however, settle completely the question of the ultimate origin of our lineage. According to the tax book of 14507, there were in the “Gmeind [community of] Svitzach [Svi$ach] (or Seuzach bei [near] Oberwinterthur): Wälty Acker 2 pounds and 5 shillings property tax, Aelly his daughter 15 id. head tax El$y [Elssy] his daughter Heini his servant 5 id. id.

The so-called “Leibsteuer” [head tax] of 5 schillings was due from every person, male or female, who had reached the 15th year of life. Zürcher Staatsarchiv B. III 283, page 285. 18

Descendants of this line live in this community even today, but are a minority compared to the Nussbaumen branch. [p.12] “While earlier the family may have made up approximately half of the village, it has shrunk today to five families in the community, with a dozen male members, counting both adults and children.” (written information from Dr. R Ackeret, Community President, Seuzach.) The Ackerets of Seuzach trace their lineage to the long-since disappeared manor “ze Ackern” [“at Ackerns’] on the Lindberg [Lind mountain] near Winterthur–called “Limperg” in the Middle Ages.8 We read the following about their home manor in the Historisch- Biographisches Lexikon der Schweiz [Historical-biographical encyclopedia of Switzerland]:9 In the year 1230, Count Hartman the Elder of Riburg made over to his spouse Margareta of Savoien [Savoy] among others the estate “ze Agchirn,” which he had purchased from the dowry, with all equipment. In 1290, the revenue is leased to a vassal of Rutschwil. In 1292, Duke Albrecht leased the revenue to H[einri]ch von Humlikon of Ackern, Lindberg, etc, which in 1320 still belonged to the widow. These revenues are listed explicitly in the Habsburg cadastral

In the Habsburg Urbar [cadastral register, a tax roll] the manor 'ze Ackern' is mentioned several times, e.g.: Office of Winterthur: “The manor ze Ackern, which belongs to us, is worth [or owes] for taxes 8 mut [a measure of volume] grain, 1 malter habern [oats]Zürich mes, one pig which should be worth 10 schillings, 4 chickens, and 45 eggs.” Office of Winterthur: Rodel [tax roll] of the mayor Mezilo, the administrator of Riburg, about 1279: “Curtis Akkern”: “1 maltrum avene mensure Thuricensis” Offices of Riburg and Winterthur (written under Konrad of Dillendorf around 1290): “in Achern reditus 8 mod. tritici Mensure Winterthur, 1 maltrum avene mensure Thuricencis, porcum 10 sh. Lease roll of the Office of Winterthur, near 1306: there is also leased a manor, named Achern; it counts as [owes] 8 mutte wheat/grain, 1 malter habern [oats] and 1 pig or 10 shillings. See the article “Akern” in Historisch-Biographisches Lexikon der Schweiz, vol. 1, Page 91. 19 register of ca. 1279. In 1478 the city of Winterthur awarded [or: hired out] the Lindberg and the estate Ackern to Welti Ackerer of Seuzach, on the condition that within three years he build a house with 16 columns on the Lindberg. The small estate is mentioned in 1492, without however mention of housing. From complaints against Winterthur by the monastery Löss, it can be ascertained that the city had changed the Lindberg and Ackrat estates into meadowland. Since it is known that a large number of family names owe their origin to the names of the place or estate which their earliest settlers lived at or worked, the question naturally arises [p.13] of whether the Nussbaumen branch may not in the end have the same origin as the Seuzach line. This question, however, is unlikely to be proved with documents. Johann Frick, the invaluable collaborator on the Historical- Biographical Encyclopedia of Switzerland, to whom the compiler is indebted for his advice and assistance, is of the opinion that the Nussbaumen branch also has its roots in the Lindberg estate. In his opinion we would be dealing with descendants of that medieval estate who at an unknown time left the estate and settled in the Stammheim valley. One can imagine other ways for our family name to originate, in the same manner in which the interpretation of family names in general allows for different possibilities. For instance, Prof. Hegi10 in his previously-cited His.- Bio.Encyclopedia attempts to explain the construction of the name through ethnographic means, when he relates the name to “Acheren” (in older speech also Ackeret), i.e., “the harvest of acorns, beechnuts.” Which of these two possibilities comes closer to the truth is a question which must be put aside here. Neither our presentation nor the prestige of the family will suffer any damage, even if an answer which resolves all doubt can likely never be found. At this time we should add a few words about the spelling of our family name. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that we cannot speak of a single,

See the article “Ackeret” in Historisch-Biographisches Lexikon der Schweiz, vol. 1, Page 196. 20 consistent spelling of the family name from the earliest times down to the present. People in earlier times were not so concerned as today with the correct spelling of their name, and it wasn’t really necessary then. The name was written as it was spoken or understood. Even officials, especially clerics, who were charged with keeping the parish registers, worried little about this question. We have this arbitrary handling of family names, [p.14] which left much to chance, to thank for the multitude of variations on our family name. Here are several, for curiosity’s sake:

Baptismal Register

1530: Jakob Akerett of Waltalingen, 1537: Andres, Ulrich Akaradt’s son, 1582: Hans Akerath,

Marriage Register:

1536: Ulrich Akerradt, 1560: Uli Ackerat, 1541: Anna Ackerrad, 1652: Hans Ackeret, 1679: Barbel Ackheret, 1714: Jacob Akert, 1754: Johannes Akeretetc.

To list but a few.

The “Book of Citizens of Aussersihl 1787–1866,”11 begun with the founding of Aussersihl, names its citizen in bold letters ‘Heinrich

Etat der Bürger-Haushaltungen in Au$ersihl vom Ursprung der Gemeinde im Jahr 1787, .... A listing of the citizens’ households in 1787, from the church records of the parish of St. Peter and completed by house visits, including several documents concerning the community, by Saloman He$, Pastor at St.Peter’s, 1812. (Stadtarchiv Zürich [Zürich City Archive]). 21 Akeret.’ The only spelling which appears in the files of the Aussersihl city clerk is ‘Ackert.’ However, Hans Konrad (1794–1865), acting as the council secretary, signed the minutes for 1826 to 1835 as ‘Akert,’ as did his father, Hans Kaspar, before him. Although members of our family have used the latter spelling ever since, it still stands at odds with the spelling government offices use today. Even the newest edition of the “Book of Citizens of the City of Zürich in 1926” does not do complete justice to members of our family, as they are listed under the title “Ackert or Akert.” Final agreement on the spelling to be used must await the government council’s approval [regierungsrätliche Genehmigung], for which the negotiations [paperwork], supported by our research, are presently underway. The strong roots of the original form ‘Ackeret’ in both writing and speech are demonstrated daily by the addresses of the most diverse correspondence, [p.15] membership lists, etc, in which we are only rarely addressed ‘by our real names.’ There is also a large group of friends and acquaintances who greet us with a hearty “Ackeret”—and it’s likely nothing can be done to change that.

We turn now once more to that region in which our family found its earliest and most widespread distribution and which can be correctly identified as the “home of our fathers:” the Stammheim valley, particularly the village of Nussbaumen. In his book Vom Rheinfall zum Schnebelhorn, Wanderstudien 1920 (“From the Rhine Falls to the Schnebelhorn”), the author G. Peterhans-Bianzano unrolls the following charming picture of this region belonging to Zürich:

When the pastoral poet Saloman Gessner visited his friend Hans Konrad Bürkli at Castle Schwandegg in May 1774, he praised the Stammheim valley in his letters to Zürich as “one of the most beautiful regions in the countryside.” The man who steps out of the Gisenhard gorge into the flat land beyond and looks out over the wide, dry valley, nestled under a friendly sky into its ring of surrounding hills, must agree with the poet. Its rural character is yet untouched; not a single factory smokestack disturbs its idyll. Towering castles and picture- covered chapels bring to mind the feudal Medieval, with its joy in colors and religious fervor. Splendid houses, pretty fountains and colorful stained glass demonstrate the pride of the residents, an ardent love of home, and cheerful enjoyment of life which has not yet died out among this folk, deep-rooted in their native soil. To the left, the tapering church tower of Waltalingen greets us over the fruit trees, and nearby rises the ivy-covered, stepped facade of Castle Schwandegg. Further back, Castle Girsberg stands on a rounded hilltop. The white houses of Gailingen shimmer in the background high over the invisible Rhine and small town of Diessenhofen. On the north face, the forested summits of the Stammheim mountains run from the church of Unter-Stammheim past Nussbaumen to Castle Steinegg.

We gladly join in this praise, thinking of how we return from each visit with the most beautiful impressions of this region. In hiking from the handsome peasant village of Stammheim on the road towards Hüttwilen Frauenfeld, one passes through the tiny village of Nussbaumen, hidden among fruit trees in Thurgau Canton scarcely fifteen minutes beyond the border of the Canton of Zürich. [p.17] “Nut trees must already have stood here when Germans chose the area for

23 settlement, hence the name [Nussbaum, nut tree]. The Romans who lived in the area likely planted the trees” (A. Farner). Earlier discoveries and the recent discovery of the remains of an ancient villa show that the region was already settled in Roman times. The location was called Nuzpoumin in 871 A.D.; in 958 Nuzpouma, in 1049 Nuzbouma, in 1400 Nussbomen, in 1579 Nussboumen, and in 1640 Nussbaumen. There has not been much to tell of the village, which has lead a quiet existence. Just once, during the religious wars of the Reformation, did the village step out of its obscurity into tragic distinction: Stammheim and Nussbaumen were drawn into the Ittingersturm [the storming of Ittingen]. For his participation in the movement against the Carthusian monastery Ittingen and for his courageous refusal to renounce his new faith, Untervogt [vice-governor or administrator] Burkhart Rütimann was put to the sword in 1524.12 Nussbaumen in the Middle Ages and up to the collapse of the old Confederation belonged to the landgrave [county] of Thurgau, which the Confederation wrested from the hands of the House of Austria in 1460. In the right to raise troops, the higher courts, coinage, and taxes, the village was subject to the rulers of the Thurgau. In the late Middle Ages, the lower courts came into the hands of a succession of noble families of lower nobility [Adelsfeschlecter] such as those of von Steinegg, von Gachang, and von Klingenberg. In 1643, three years after the reconquest of the Thurgau by the Confederation, Nussbaumen was purchased by Zürich, which united Nussbaumen with Seeben and Stammheim under the authority [Herrschaft] of Steinegg. For twelve years the area was administered by a member of the Grand Council [Grosser Rat], who resided in Steinegg Castle with the title of Obervogt [chief magistrate]. Nussbaumen did not possess a court of its own; court was held in Stammheim for the entire Steinegg region. Thurgau law applied, however, and appeals from the Herrschaftsgericht [local court] in Stammheim went to the Landgericht [county court] in Frauenfeld. Zürich held significantly more rights in Stammheim (important and in part sovereign rights) than it held in Nussbaumen, [p.18] where the actual sovereignty

See Das Wirthen-Büchlein, die Glaubenszeugen von Stammheim, (The Wirthen pamphlet, the witnesses of faith of Stammheim), by D. Farner, 1924. 24 fell to the VII regierenden Orten [ruling localities] in the Thurgau. This fact led to the later division after the collapse of the old State order, in the course of which Nussbaumen was incorporated into to the Canton of Thurgau, while Stammheim passed to the Canton of Zürich.13 Nussbaumen belonged to the ecclesiastical district of Unter- Stammheim [Lower Stammheim], together with the surrounding villages of Guntalingen, Waltalingen, Schlattingen, Uerschausen, and Ober- Stammheim. Nussbaumen itself had only a chapel, which however dated to the Romanesque [architectural] period. Protestant services reached even this little chapel in the second half of the sixteenth century, although services were not held on a regular basis until 1736. In 1829 Nussbaumen achieved independent parish status and was separated from the Stammheim parish. Until then, all church-related functions, such as baptisms, marriages, and burials had been performed and registered in Stammheim. Thus, to research our ancestors, one must consult the Stammheim parish church records, which are now found in the Zürich State [Canton] Archives. (The author made extensive use of them some ten years ago, while compiling our family tree.) Stammheim was one of the first communities belonging to Zürich to adopt the use of the official parish register14 as required by the Reformer Ulrich Zwingli. These parish registers were the forerunners of today’s civil registry15 for births, marriages, and deaths. Not every family researcher finds himself in the enviable position of possessing registers so completely and meticulously- kept as those from Stammheim. The marriage register for Stammheim begins in 1524, for Guntalingen in 1526, for Nussbaumen in 1529, for Waltalingen in 1531, for Uerschausen in 1533, and for Schlattingen since 1527–1531. Baptismal registries go back to 1530, but the death registries exist only since 1635. Pastor A. Farner, to whom we are indebted for his work on the history of Stammheim, used the registries as the basis for an interesting study of cultural history appearing in the Zürich Pocketbook

I am indebted to Dr. Hans Kreis for his explanation of the historical and legal circumstances. pfarramtliches Register Zivilstandsregister 25 for the Year 1899 [similar to an almanac] under the title, The Parish Registers of Zürich Canton, Their History and Scientific Evaluation and Yield.16 Another work by the same author deserves mention here, [p.19] his History of the Church Congregation of Stammheim and its Surroundings,17 which unfortunately is out of print. It is to the knowledgeable and diligent keeping of these registers by the pastors of Stammheim (among them the chronicler Stumpf) that we owe our ability to follow the development of our lineage and our family seamlessly back into the time of the Reformation. It is however not possible to bridge the gap and link the Akerts appearing in these first Reformation church registers directly to those mentioned in the tax rolls of 1450 to 1470; at least two generations lie between. No one expects to learn anything of great import to the history of our ancestors from these parish registers. Indeed, what sort of events could there have been to be registered, considering the rural surroundings in which they lived and worked? It is almost a given that their main occupation was farming, and for this reason alone we can expect the registers to pass over the occupation of individuals. Even the listing of inhabitants begun by the Zürich rector Johann Jakob Breitinger in 1634 gives no more information than names and dates. These listings, compiled every three years at first, and later at irregular intervals, do give us however a look at the development of the community and of the individual families. We will examine them briefly here. The first list is titled Census of all Souls of the Entire Community of Nussboumen, and those under the general jurisdiction of the County of Thurgöuw and the local jurisdiction of Steinegg, and in it we find counted 41 households with 202 inhabitants.18 Among our

Zürcher Taschenbuch auf das Jahr 1899 :“Die Pfarramtlichen Register im Gebiet des Kantons Zürich, ihre Geschichte und wissenschaftliche Ausbeute.” Geschichte der Kirchgemeinde von Stammheim und Umgebung. Verzeichnis aller Seelen einer ganzen Gemindt Nussboumen, in hohen Grichten der Landgrafschaft Thurgöuw, in niederen der Herrschaft Steinegg gelegen. One of these lists shows that persons from Nussbaumen had left the 26 ancestors we meet [p.20] here Mathias Akert and his wife Barbara Ziegler, with four children: nine-year-old Barbara, Hans, 5, Jacob, 2, and the baby still in the cradle, “Anneli.” In the same household lived the aged father Hans Akert, widower of Anna Suter. The year 1635 was a year of terror, as the plague struck; in the congregation of Stammheim alone the plague claimed 393 lives. Nor was Nussbaumen spared; when the next list was compiled in 1637, Nussbaumen counted only 31 households with 146 inhabitants. The community recovered in the following years. In 1643 there were 33 households and 180 inhabitants; in 1646, 37 households and 197 inhabitants. Our couple Hans Akert and Barbara Ziegler are still listed, this time with seven children. Widower Hans Akert had died in the meantime (1635). The list for 1670 shows 46 households and a population of 267 souls. Mathias Akert the Elder has died (1666); his place has been taken by his son Mathias and his wife Regula Bachmann. There are four children. The widow Barbara Ziegler lives with them. The number of families increases with the years; for there are people there ready and willing to marry and produce offspring. In 1678 there are 60 households with 282 souls; among them three Akert families with 11 children. In 1682 there are 66 households with 296 souls, among them four Akert families with 13 children. The list for 1689 names 75 families with 313 members, added to that are another 11 scattered and absent households with 29 persons, mostly children. The Akerts are represented by five families, with 17

area in an earlier time, likely after the end of the Thirty Years’ War: in 1670, a note by the Stammheim pastor Johann Rüdlinger states: “Out of this community of Nussbaumen went around 20 people, some many years ago, and some not so many (a proper list of whom is available); who reside in the Palatinate, in Württemberg, and in Swabia.; whom God may loyally preserve from a grievous apostasy and keep ever to his Holy Word, and through this preserve all, the chapel in this same village, which has not been used for church services since the time of the Reformation, but which was repaired 2 years ago and is now used for Catechism, from disquieting events arising in the future, in His mercy.” Zürich State Archive, E II 227. 27 children among them. [p.21] The list for 1695 tells of great inflation and emigration.19 Nussbaumen also suffered the pangs of hunger. The population of 342 souls in 1689 shrank by 1695 to only 264. The losses were made up in the next decade. In 1709, Nussbaumen counted 265 souls, and by 1729 301 inhabitants, among them 10 Akert families with 23 children. In 1764 there are 358 inhabitants; we find 13 Akert families among them, with 43 children all told. Alongside other, more or less wide-spread families, the town at this time is fairly bursting with Akerts. The words of the Bible, “Sie freieten und liessen sich freien.” [“They married and were given in marriage.”] seems especially appropriate. An interesting side note worth mentioning is the special popularity of the name “Mathias” [Matthew]. Given the great abundance of “Mathiases” back then, it’s unlikely that they could ever have kept everyone straight without specific individual nicknames. Today—the end of 1929—Nussbaumen has 339 inhabitants, 38 of them named Akeret. All of them spell it “Akeret,” without the ck (from information from the Orts-vorsteher [local mayor or administrator] U. Bähr, Nussbaumen). The last census from 1764 interests us for several special reasons. The list, written by Pastor Saloman Vogel, names the following

“In the countryside there was a lamentable poverty, and in years of distress and hunger (for example, 1692–1695), up to a third or one half or even more of families lost all means of support and were forced to beg to get by. This in spite of the [help of?] church taxes and the subvention from State taxes, and in regions which today are counted among the most comfortable. Entire families were rendered helpless and were destroyed by the overwhelming suffering. Conditions in the countryside in general were so borderline that a failure of even half the harvest pushed much more than half of the population into the arms of hunger. Conditions improved only slowly, first in several regions on the lake. The causes to which the widespread suffering are to be attributed are, next to imprudence, deficient education, the burdens of the feudal system, the undeveloped state of agriculture, bad transportation, and limitations imposed on trade and commerce.” (K. Dändliker, Geschichte der Stadt und des Kantons Zürich [History of the City and the Canton of Zürich], Vol. 2, p. 433.) 28 as descendants of the union of Simon Akeret–Anna Wattingerin (both deceased) Maria b. 1731 Hans Ulrich b. 1737 Anna b. 1740 Simon b. 1743 [p.22] with the notation, “all in service.” Since they are listed under the heading “Now and Then Absent,” we must assume that they were working as servants outside of their home village at the time. Additional information about this notice can be found in the family register of the “Seventh Book of the Congregation of the Parish of Stammheim, begun the 1st of October, 1746,”20 in which the offspring of the marriage of Simon Akeret–Anna Wattingerin are mentioned as follows: Anna Maria b. 1731, “is serving,” married Heinrich Weidmann of Embrach, 1773 Hans Heinrich b. 1732 Barbara b. 1734 d. 1789 Hans Ulrich b. 1737 Anna b. 1740, m. Abraham Mezger of Eschenz in January 1765, [at] Parish Burg Simon b. 1740, travels as a miller’s servant

The population list of 1764 and the “Seventh Book of the Congregation” are also interesting, because they tell us for the first time of the individual occupations of several family members, as in the following examples:

Johannes Akeret, cowherd, Jacob Akeret, Bot [courier, messenger] of Zürich, Meister [master artisan] Matthias Akeret, cooper, Meister Peter Akeret, tailor, Theyss Akeret, commonly known as “Kuhtheyss” [Cow-theyss],

Siben Gemeindenbuch der Pfahrey Stammheim, begonnen den 1. 8bris 1746, Zürich State Archive, E III 17/8. 29 because he had herded cattle, Meister Hs. [Hans] Georg Akeret, shoemaker.

We will have to be satisfied with these few pieces of information which have come down to us out of earlier times. In any case, we have become acquainted with the milieu from which our lineage springs. The simple circumstances common to the peasant life are set in the cheerful image of a picture-perfect landscape amidst a region not at all lacking in scenic charms, one that combines the idyllic with romanticism, a landscape that can often be a determining influence in the life of a sensitive spirit. It may not be just coincidence, then, that a love of nature and of home have always found their place in our family. How our family soon found a foothold on Zürich territory is the topic of the following chapter.

30 The "Historical" Akerts Of Aussersihl Hans Heinrich Akert 1732-1799 It should not surprise us that the farther back we trace our lineage, the less the available sources yield to us about the lives and destinies of our forbearers. We are dealing for the most part with simple country folk who had little if any opportunity to assume public office or a position of rank, given their uncomplicated local way of life and their dependency on the nearby towns; hence the dearth of any detailed source materials on our earliest ancestors. Not until the middle of the 18th century, when Hans Heinrich Akert gave up the farming life in his native homeland in exchange for a small estate at the gates of Zürich, are we favored with reliable historical documentation. Hans Heinrich may be said to have gained the first foothold from which our lineage was to spread its roots in the Zürich of another day. Hans Heinrich Akert was born in Nussbaumen on 29 June 1732, the third child of Simon Akert21 and Simon's second wife Anna Wattinger22. Following the custom of his day, Hans Heinrich was baptized on that very same day in the church at Stammheim. His father, as duly noted in the baptismal register, was a "hunter" by occupation. As sponsors ["Gvaterleuth"], he had selected chief magistrate Johann Heinrich Waser and Cathrina Haag of Hüttwilen. Only on rare occasions do we find in baptismal registers, not to mention parish registers in general, any note of the father's occupation. Those few exceptions were no doubt warranted for good reason. We are curious as to why a man of such high rank as the chief magistrate of Zürich would condescend to stand sponsor to the child of mere peasants. Our kind and obliging consultant Mr. J. Frick, surmises that the father in question may well have been Simon Akert, game-keeper of Chief Magistrate [p.24] Waser of Steinegg (court clerk of the city of Zürich, and chief magistrate of

Simon Akert, born 18 April 1680; died 13 June 1747. Anna Wattinger, born 19 October 1702 died 29 November 1750. 31 Stammheim 1720-1732), a supposition that deserves careful consideration. We are unable to ascertain when exactly his son Hans Heinrich left his home village and settled in the vicinity of Wiedikon, near the approach to the Sihl bridge. Certain documents are missing from the Chief Magistrate's office in Steinegg, which might have offered us at least a clue. Furthermore, the old parish accounting records of Wiedikon, recently used by Dr. Konrad Escher in writing his "Chronicle of the former parishes of Wiedikon and Aussersihl", were unfortunately destroyed some years ago along with other public records. Thus, we are left to conjecture over the exact point in time at which our ancestors arrived and founded the Zürich branch of the Akert lineage. We are guessing, however, that the year 1760 is not far off the mark. We encounter his name for the first time in the notary records for Wiedikon23, in which Hans Heinrich first appears in connection with the selling of a small piece of property near the Sihl bridge in the immediate vicinity of the St. Jakob's infirmary and home for the elderly. The document in question reads:

Bill of Sale (for) 1250 florins [Gulden]

One Lieutenant Johann Conrad Nüscheler, bleacher24 [by trade] beyond the Sill bridge [Sillbrugg] within the jurisdiction of Wiedikon, citizen of the noble City of Zürich, does sell to the honorable and modest Heinrich Ackert of Nussbaumen, of the Parish of Stammheim, currently servant of H. Bürkli of Katzenthörli in Zürich, and does offer in sale by virtue of this bill of sale:

The seller's own house and property [Schür], 2. the open common [Werdplatz] located immediately in front thereof, 3. the small parcel of pasture land belonging to St. Jakob's House. [p.25] Together with: All that is nailed fast [Was Nieth und Nagel hat] as well as the two pens located in the cellar; as rightfully possessed by the seller completely free and clear [alles in Zihlen und Marchen, Rechtsamen und Gerechtigkeiten wie Hr.

Dated 16. February 1761. signed: HH. Guildmaster Joh. Caspar Waser

We now also know the circumstances under which Hans Heinrich Akert came to Zürich; he was a "servant" to Captain Hans Caspar Bürkli25, grocer [Krämer] in Katzenthörlein at the end of Waaggasse [Waag Alley]. Today we would probably refer to him as a shopkeeper [Magaziner]. In any case, Akert earned his keep through very modest means. No doubt he came as a country dweller to Zürich with few if any means whatsoever. What or who it was that could have enticed him away

Hans Caspar Bürkli, 9 May 1731 to February 1789, shopkeeper, apothecary in Katzenthörlein, member [Zünster] of the Saffran Guild 1751. (Keller-Escher, Promptuarium genealogicum [genealogical manifest])

33 from his native soil to the city? That we do not know. In the Land Survey drawn up in the years 1785-1790 for the Town of Wiedikon and Surroundings by guild curator and magistrate's clerk Hans Caspar Hirzel (1756-1841) , and mentioned in Konrad Escher's Town History cited above, we find the entry: "House of the Censor Akerts" situated behind St. Jakob's infirmary. In the supplement to this, "Catastrum or Index of all properties and proprietors thereof for the district inclusive of Wiedikon and Aussersihl" also from 1790, the property is described under the No. 995 as a house of 400 square foot area. No mention is made in this list of additional property, such as pasturage, garden plots, arable land or the like in the property index supplemental to the Survey. Let us dwell for a moment on the aforementioned old Land Survey. One is overcome with ambivalent emotions when looking at these old [p.26] survey maps - they run several pages and are called "Planches" - mixed with a feeling of pride in having been a part of the rise and prosperity of one's native city is a subtle feeling of sadness born of the realization that with each day the fleeting memories of bygone times are soon forgotten. In perusing the pages of this survey, which covers an area extending from Friesenberg up to the Limmat and is comprised solely of pasture and farmland, otherwise almost totally devoid of human habitation, we suddenly become acutely aware of the profound upheaval that has occurred above all in the region beyond the Sihl River, especially since the city unification of 1893. However, a detailed survey of the ongoing course of change here goes far beyond the scope of the present work. Thus, we shall confine ourselves to the figures listed below which reveal a more telling picture than mere words ever could.

34 Population Year Wiedikon Aussersihl 1634 438 1671 756 1762 1380 1800 559 702 1836 341 1448 1850 1409 1881 1860 2122 2597 1870 2848 7510 1880 3878 14186 1888 4671 19916 1894 8925 31325 On 1 December 1920 the population of Districts 3, 4 and 5 totaled 82,658; at the end of June 1929 88,545! Just how poor and insignificant the village of Aussersihl appeared in 1836 is revealed in the following commentary to the census taken in that same year:

"The inhabitants of this community rely in part on farming, in part on local industry and other professions for their livelihood. The number of domestic servants is especially high in Aussersihl, including 59 maids, 36 grooms. The number of day laborers has increased to 26, the number of factory workers to 22, gardeners total 11, in addition there are 9 kattun printers [kattun = impressed thin cotton bound with linen], 5 model engravers, 14 piece workers, and 5 millwrights. [.p27] There are 115 various hand craftsmen, among whom 13 are house painters, 16 are carpenters and 21 are cabinetmakers. In addition Aussersihl has a rag collector, a sulphur dealer, a musician, a cavalry captain and 7 men and 27 women in the home for the aged." Within just a few decades this modest, unpretentious outlying settlement grew into the most heavily populated suburb of all of Greater Zürich, a change of a magnitude still unparalleled to this day is. But let us return to our forbearers of an earlier time.

35 As Dr. Konrad Escher reports in his Chronicle the lot of those residing around St. Jakob's, as well as those dwelling in other parts of the parish not directly associated with the village of Wiedikon, including at that time Kräuel and Hard, must have been a most unhappy one. Residents, if they were not full-fledged citizens of Wiedikon, were considered inferior and treated as such. Not surprisingly this led to considerable friction and hostility. In an effort to rectify these intolerable circumstances, the inhabitants of the area near the Sihl bridge and those in Kräuel and Hard submitted a petition on 27 September 1787 to the mayor and town council of Zürich. In it they requested the establishment of an independent township to be called "Outer Sihlgemeinde". The town council granted their request and, in 1787, upon issuance of a Gemeinde- und Einzugsbrief [community and admissions charter] on 21 February 1787, Aussersihl and Wiedikon became separate municipal entities26. On 25 March of that same year, builder and town councilor Scheuchzer called the first Aussersihl town meeting in St. Jakob's Church (supposedly 70 qualified voters attended) for the purpose of reading the Gemeindebrief [community charter]. Following the reading, the members in attendance unanimously elected: Adjutant Johannes Huber to the office of Town Treasurer, David Fenner to the office of Geschworene [Jurist] for the district north of the main road, Heinrich Knüsli to the office of Geschworene for the district south of the main road, Heinrich Ackert to the office of Censor for the district north the main road, Heinrich Bickel to the office of Censor for the district south of the main road. [p.28]

On the duties and obligations of the censors, Article 12 of the community charter contained the following stipulations: "At all times there shall be two censors duly elected for a period

Reproduced in "The Legal Codices of the Canton of Zürich" [Die Rechtsquellen des Kts. Zürich], Part I, by Rob. Hoppeler, Aarau 1910.

36 of six years by the whole town electorate, and that at all times shall one be selected from among the townspeople residing above the main road and one from those below the main road (The main road referred to here is the road to Baden, now called the Badenerstrasse). "At such time as said censors are elected, they shall present themselves to the local chief magistrate, at which time they shall swear an oath to faithfully fulfill their duties and obligations, which obligations shall consist in keeping suitable and appropriate vigil over the moral conduct of each and every household in the community and further without hesitation to give notice of any misconduct overstepping the bounds of common decency and propriety, to the proper parish magistrate (Pfarrherr) at St. Peter's, to determine the further disposition of said violator and an appropriate dispensation of justice. "Further, it is left to their discretion, whether after six years time, said censors wish to continue to hold this office." Hans Heinrich Akert became a citizen of the community of Aussersihl at the time of its founding, but it was not until 1791 that he renounced his right of citizenship in Nussbaumen. Concurrently, Akert had to enter a petition for property ownership rights [Landrecht] in Zürich. This was granted following approval of certain minor stipulations by the mayor and both council chambers of the City of Zürich on March 14, 1787 and is recorded in the council minutes27 as follows:

Grant of Property Ownership Rights to Residents of the Township of Aussersihl Wednesday, 14 March 1787 Prtbs. Lord Mayor Kilchsperger and both Councils. By virtue of petition, having been entered most humbly and in person, and by show of authorized manumission [emancipation] certificates, are the subsequent named in the newly-founded Community of Aussersihl upon property residentially a Mediat-member from the Thurgäu and Bader region, namely: 1) Heinrich Duttweiler of Hüttikon

Müllhaupt of Hohlenstrass, his son, Jacob, further the brother-in-law of the Kellers, Johannes Knüsli, are herewith granted the designated Property Ownership Rights in and of the newly established Community of Aussersihl; further shall the above named from this time forth be recognized as citizens of the Community of Ausser Sihl, in consequence thereof shall Duttweiler and Akert, for taking up residence and having both maintained property in said locale for over a period of 20 years, pay to Aussersihl the sum of 50 pounds as half [p.29] of the residence fee charged to non-natives, further shall Keller for himself and his brother-in-law, and one Heinrich Müllhaupt for himself and his son, both parties having acquired holdings over a period of some years to this end, pay the sum of 100 pounds as half the residence fee for non-natives, in addition to which all parties shall contribute in protection money an equal sum to the honorable general magistrate [Obervogtenamt] (Wiedikon). Moreover, shall this right, bestowed upon new residents upon special consideration be the same rights and privileges enjoyed by all in the Community of Aussersihl ['rücksichtlich auf die modifizierten Einzugs-Postanda, in fünftigen Fählen zu keiner solge gezogen, sondern disfals nach dem buchstäbliche Inhalt des der Aussersihl=Gemeinde erteilten Einzugs-Briefes verfahren werden']." Little if anything is known about Hans Heinrich Akert's private life, including his length of service with Bürkli or his subsequent occupation. His marriage to Magdalena Frey28 of Kloten (born 15 February 1723, died 20 March 1791) on 23 January 1763, "wedding performed with the approval of the honorable marital court in St. Peter's church", produced two children:

28 The Family Bible and the Civic Register list the birthday incorrectly as 27 February 1727. The baptismal records of Kloten (E III 63/5), in contrast, list 15 February 1723, which corresponds to the entry in the Family Register of Stammheim (E III 117/18), where the parents are listed as Felix Frey and Susanna Straub of Kloten. 38 Anna Margaretha born 2 April 1763, died 14 Nov. 1793 Hans Kaspar born 8 Oct. 1764, died 10 July 1835 His second marriage in November of 1791 to Verena Öktiker of Männedorf (widow of Heinrich Buchmann of Maschwanden) produced no children. That our ancestors could not escape the ravages and upheaval of Revolution, as both Wiedikon and Aussersihl were the scene of military strife, is attested to in the city accounts [Ausgabeposten] in the "XIIth Parish Accounts, beginning 1 May 1798, ending 1 May 1799," wherein the "citizen" old Censor Heinrich Akert was allotted the sum of 40 pounds in compensation for billeting troops. Hans Heinrich died during the war years on 22 May 1799 at the age of 66 years, 10 months and 2 weeks. Though he left no enduring mark during the course of his life, we may still remember him by his signet, which we may dare call our family crest. No doubt he was called upon in his official capacity as a censor [p.30] to adopt a seal. It was the plow with its obvious symbolic connection to his name that Hans Heinrich selected. The present author has since had this symbol elevated to the status of a proper family coat- of-arms29 heraldically embellished and presented for the first time in the Family Genealogical Table of 1918. Certainly it is an undeniable shame how little we know about the originator of our Zürich lineage. Nevertheless, we are comforted by the realization that the name Hans Heinrich Akert is intimately tied to the early history of Aussersihl and that he played an active role in its early beginnings.

29 It is not possible to verify the existence of a crest of the Akeret family of Nussbaumen. "Hereabouts there is no known crest of the Akeret clan of Nussbaumen. Neither has any yet been found in the archives," wrote the Kanton archivist Schaltegger in Frauenfeld to me on 2 September 1918. Nonetheless, there was presumably a crest of the Akerets of Seuzach; but how it looked cannot unfortunately be determined since the Church benches of Seuzach on which it appeared were reduced to rubble when the Sigristenhaus was destroyed by fire. (Communication from Dr. R. Ackeret in Seuzach.) 39 40 Hans Kaspar Akert30

Our knowledge of the life of Hans Heinrich Akert is fragmentary at best. Unfortunately no less fragmentary is our knowledge of the life of his only male offspring Hans Kaspar. The latter was born on 8 October 1764 and baptized at St. Peter's Church. The witnesses in attendance were Hans Caspar Bürkli, his father's employer, and Mrs. A. Barbara Ulrich, nee' Brunner. There is no information available on the details of his life, nor are there any living relatives or descendants who know of or remember anything said by him.

He was married to Maria Catharina Dägerfeld of Brugg31 on 27 January 1794, the latter of whom was baptized on 4 November 1764. It is surmised [p.31] that until his father's death in 1799 that Hans Kaspar lived at home, the ancestral home having been willed to Hans by his father as a means of securing rights to his mother's estate. An entry found in the Notary records of Wiedikon referring to this is as follows:

Promissory Note for 628. Florins. - [Versicherung p. Gld. 628. -]

Censor H. Akert in the Werd [im Werd] in the outer Sihl=Gemeind promises to his son Caspar Akert the sum of 628 florins [Gld.], the monies inherited by the former from his blessed mother Magd. Frey and whose father at that time did receive and use same towards the purchase of a house. Now, so that his son may draw upon these monies at his discretion, and to secure same, H. Akert hereby pledges and attaches to the

This Hans Kaspar already wrote his surname as Akert, as evidenced by two reports written by him about the accounts of the community assets of Aussersihl 1816-1817 (City Archives).

31 Her parents were: Joh. Jakob Dägerfeld (Webers), Maria Catharina Ruchenstein, both of Brugg. 41 latter:

An estate beyond the Sihl bridge near St. Jacob's Church entitled Werdehof, and bordering Zürich and Limmat at the Werdeplatz, towards the mountains on the Elsinger brothers' farm, and toward Baaden near the infirmary of St. Jakob Wiesli [St. Jacob's Meadow]. It is free and clear [Ist ledig und eigen]. Dated: 11 January 1794 Sealed: Alderman & Town Official Joh. Füssli

We were unable to discover any clues relating to Hans Caspar's actual occupation, though the fact that guildmaster Hans Conrad Lavater of the Salt Works [im Salzhause] (1745- 1805) was the godfather leads us to cautiously surmise that Hans Caspar was a subordinate of the former and possibly in his employ in the Zürich Salt Works. Had Hans Caspar Akert not distinguished himself in local community affairs, he might have gone completely unnoticed in the annals of history. Happily, however, we find various entries in the old public records which bear witness to a fairly active and comprehensive public role in service to the local community. In this vein we come across his name in the opening minutes to the "General Town Meeting [p.32] of the Municipality of Aussersihl" of 13 May 179932 during the French occupation, a calamitous, troubled time for our country (1798-1803). In the minutes of this meeting we may glean an inkling of the dismal, oppressive mood that held sway over the poor community of Aussersihl in those years of misfortune. The minutes are a commentary on the state and mood of those times:

Tired, partly because of the extraordinary business and partly because of the ungrateful attitudes received concerning that business, the provisional government longed for rest. After a law was passed concerning the organization

Notariat-Protokoll Wiedikon-Aussersihl, Vol 19 (1792-1796). Register: Akert, the censor in Werd (pag. 137). 42 of the city government, the provisional city government obtained permission from the Magistrate to hold a general convention and to elect the city government according to law. After the session was opened by citizen-agent Huber, the following were chosen unanimously to count the votes: Citizen Caspar Akert Citizen Cantonjudge Weber Citizen ex-guardian Ziegler and as clerk, also unanimously, Citizen Heinrich Siber. Thereafter, those chosen convened with the citizen-agent and presented to the community a roster listing the number of municipal officers and also the salary of the bailiff. According to law, out of the population of our community membership, five municipal officials and three alternates shall be elected. Considering the present circumstances and the difficulties in finding sources for reimbursing city officials according to the wishes of every brave citizen, and especially in these times, the duty of every citizen requires him to render his services to his fatherland as much as possible; in consequence thereof, that these municipal officials which take care of quartering are paid only a minimal amount for their many-faceted diligent work, the representatives propose: The municipality offer its services to the fatherland without charge. For those municipal officials who take care of quartering, each shall receive one florin for each time thy work, be it a whole or half day or a night. The bailiff will also serve as city watchman and the municipal government is empowered, if he is required to expend extraordinary effort, to grant him a supplement of 10 per day. These points were adopted unanimously by the community.[p.33] Thereupon the following were elected as municipal officials: 1. Citizen, ex-president Dünner, unanimously, 2. Citizen Caspar Ahmann, unanimously, 3. Citizen Caspar Akert, unanimously, 4. Citizen ex-guardian Ziegler, unanimously, 5. Citizen Jakob Huber with 33 votes [ab der Halden, mit 33 Stimmen], etc.

Citizen and municipal official Akert was also forced to billet foreign soldiers, as is evident from an entry [Ausgabeposten] in the 12th Community Accounts [Gemeinderechnung] of 1798-1799, by treasurer

43 Georg Ringger, after which time he was granted the sum of 40 pounds in remuneration. It is clear from the minutes of later years that as a local official Hans Kaspar Akert was actively involved in local affairs, performing a great variety of community services. Before the district court, for instance, he was nominated warden of the children of the widowed Verena Völsterli, nee' Baumann. Together with a colleague he was appointed the task of carefully revising local property tax laws, on another occasion of fixing real estate tax, as well as cataloging for the community the required grain seed types on behalf of the deputy governor [Unterstaathalter] to name just a few. On 19 June 1803 he was elected town clerk. In the minutes of the town council meeting of 27 January 1818, we read the following about him:

After Town Councilor Caspar Akert had submitted to the chair a request to be relieved of his position as secretary, being no longer able to fulfill his capacities therein for a variety of reasons, the town council voted unanimously in deep appreciation of his proven, laudable efforts, involvement, and willingness, to so relieve Councilor Caspar Akert of his duties.

Nevertheless, Caspar remained on the town council until relieved of his duties, per his request in 1830. The minutes of the town council meeting of Saturday, 3 July 1830 contain hereto the following notation:

Upon written petition of Caspar Akert to the town council that he be relieved of his duties of office, due in large part to gradual hearing loss and increasing inability to hear or comprehend what was being said at council meetings, it was so unanimously decreed that out of respect for said considerations Akert be granted his wish and desire.

From other quarters we learn of Hans Kaspar Akert from the Presbytery Minutes [Stillstands-Protokol] of St. Peter's of 17 March 1796, an excerpt of which follows:

Action of Tuesday, the 17th of March 1796

44 Presiding: City Council Member and Deacon Ziegler and all Honorary Members of the Honorable Board of Deacons

The school board made the following motion concerning the Repetier- School [remedial school] in the Aussersihl community, which is held every Sunday throughout the year with great dedication by Caspar Akert and to the satisfaction of the Rev. Meisters and the whole community; the he (Caspar Akert) be paid accordingly since he has not as yet received any pay from the parents of from the Honorable Board of Deacons. The motion was passed unanimously and the following was ordered to be done: 1. All parents of the Aussersihl community who send their children to the remedial school shall pay, starting with Easter of the current year, 2 shillings per child to Mr. Akert. We do not doubt that the parents gladly will pay this money, since the institution is very much liked in the other parishes of the St. Peter's communities. (The Rev. Lavater had introduced the remedial school to the boards of deacons in those communities.) 2. Should this monthly obligation be too much of a burden for some parents, the Rev. Lavater has taken the responsibility to give this fee to the teacher annually, should the parents report their financial situation; and every year at Easter the teacher shall hand in an exact list of the number of students. 3. In order to further the studies we offer Caspar Akert yearly 10 shillings to continue the remedial on Sundays throughout the summer. Until another teacher has been chosen, he thus will receive his salary annually at Easter; we also pay him at this time a salary of 10 shillings for the successfully completed past year.

Archive of St. Peter No. 905, Minutes, pag. 49. [p.35]

One can well imagine how these remedial schools were administered and what their principal goals were based on the following: Provisions Governing Remedial Schools [Repetier-Schulen] 1798, Records Office of St. Peter, No. 905. §1. Remedial schools are extraordinary schools set aside for adolescent youths dismissed from the normal daily curricula, in which curricula normally learned in the regular schools is repeated, reinforced and permanently entrenched in the pupils' mind. §2. Said schools are administered solely in rural districts usually

45 on Sundays following completion of Sunday School instruction in the school house or in church sanctuaries [Bätthäuser]. §3. All boys and girls dismissed from daily instruction are obligated to attend the remedial school until such time as they are eligible to take communion. §5. In these remedial schools each session is opened in song, followed by prayer, whereupon the pupils are called upon to recite the catechism, songs and psalms, to read from the Testament and, finally each pupil is required to draw in question and answer form upon an excerpt from the Bible and briefly expound upon it. §8. Each class closes in prayer and song.

We may discern from these records that our ancestor put forth deserving efforts in promoting the edification and well-being of the youth of his day. In the years to follow such efforts did not go unnoticed, but rather were to finally receive the accolades he so deserved. We encounter the name of Hans Kaspar Akert on one other occasion in the Presbytery minutes [Stillstandsprotokollen] of St. Peter for the year 1822. This time, however, his name appears several times in connection with a rather "sordid" controversy: "In mid 1821 a choir association was to have been founded under the direction of Mr. Caspar Akert, father and local community figure, and schoolmaster Rudolf Frey, which group met regularly on Sunday evenings in our recently completed school and parish hall." Just how this notorious singing association came to be formed with Akert and Frey as chairmen, and what the nature of their organizational rules was, is unknown. As a result of complaints heard from certain sectors of the local community, a rather tenacious dispute ensued between the town council, the presbytery authorities [Stillstandsbehörden] and the co-founders, during the course of which schoolmaster Frey, a man of somewhat unscrupulous character and prone to embellishing the truth at times, drew a severe reprimand for his none too savory role in the affair. The choir association, so it was claimed, was founded without authorization from local authorities, the choir was comprised of certain members of dubious character, [p.36] meetings lasted until the early morning hours, and while on their return home some members became involved in "activities" having little to do with singing,

46 etc. This distressing state of affairs, --nowadays we would call this a "scandal"-- gave the authorities fits on both sides of the Sihl River. Nevertheless the storm blew over and Hans Kaspar Akert survived the pernicious affair with his honor and reputation intact. And, when at the meeting of the Board of Deacons [Engeren Stillstandssitzung] of 13 November 1822, "an appropriately personal letter from the Chairman of the Choir Association in Aussersihl" was taken up for discussion, in which Mr. Caspar Akert and son beseeched the Board to place at their disposal and only under their closest supervision the school house as the sole agreeable locale for continuing their already firmly established, weekly song practices, held every Sunday for the betterment of Aussersihl's youth, in lieu of the church, an unsuitable locality in consideration of the harsh conditions prevailing during that time of year, Kaspar was honored with the following kindly response:

As you may see, we fully support you in your endeavors and would assure you at the same time that neither the members of the board nor its chairman harbor the least amount of prejudice against you, your loved ones or the newly formed choir association, nay in fact, we are only too pleased when forthwith your choir association as it presently exists, or as this may change with time and according to need, may enjoy the undying approval of the estimable town council, each and every leader [Vorsteher] and parent, which, in the presence of all, I welcome and for which I express my deepest admiration.

Such is the image of Kaspar Akert as revealed to us in what may be otherwise considered rather dry and uninteresting records of Presbytery minutes. As incomplete and highly fragmented as this account is, particularly since nothing has passed down to us by word of mouth, we have every reason to remember with gratitude our forbearer, who in the most difficult of times gave of himself completely in the service of his community and fellow citizen, who strove for their betterment, and who happily was fortunate enough during his lifetime to have received well- deserved accolades for these efforts. Whereas the, albeit modest, post of local town official fell to his father Hans Heinrich Akert's lot, the following decades, punctuated by turbulent political events both at home and abroad, brought the son [p.37]

47 to a position of ever-increasing challenge in the service of his fellow citizens, and a significant part of Aussersihl's early history is embodied in the younger Akert. Hans Kaspar Akert passed away on 10 July 1835 at the age of 71. His holdings and property were passed on to his son of even name, as the result of an "inheritance buyout" ["Erbauskaufs-Tractat"] (Not. Protok. Wiedikon-Aussersihl Vol. 30). The latter then sold it to Caspar Volkart, master locksmith from Niederglatt on January 25, 1840 in the amount of 2800 Francs. (Not. Protok. Aussersihl.) Kaspar's marriage to Cath. Dägerfeld produced seven children: two sons and five daughters, including:

1. Hans Conrad, farmer and musician, 22 November 1794 - 7 April 1865. 2. Anna, 3 June 1796 - 1830; 1820 married Oswald Meyer, grocer from Ottenbach (1778-1848). 3. Hans Kaspar, baker, 19 October 1797 - 15 April 1866. 4. Hans Jacob, 22 November 1798 - 1799. 5. Catharina, seamstress, 19 March 1800 to 26 May 1866; 1830 married Niklaus Kramer of Affoltern near Höngg, 1803-1871. Catharina bore one child out of wedlock, Maria Magdalena, of one Gottlob Schuhster from Goldschach, Saxony. In accordance with a decree of 25 May 1826 the child was awarded the legitimate and inherited family name [Akert] and home allotment [heimatshalben]. She was employed in the services of one Escher-Trümpler in Triest. 6. Anna Barbara, milliner [Modearbeiterin], 29 July 1802 - 1838; 1836 married Johann Vogel von Schaffhausen, (1811-1884) 7. Maria Magdalena, seamstress, 3 April 1805 - 1860; 1829 married Johann Brandenberger of Flach, (1803- 1859).

The above cited names and dates were extracted from the "Civil

48 Register of Aussersihl" ["Burgerbuch von Aussersihl"] 1787-1866. Following the death of Hans Kaspar's first wife in 181233 [p.38] he took a second wife on 18 July 1813 Ester Wiesendanger, born 23 October 1770, from [the] Grüt in the parish of Dynhard34 This second marriage produced one daughter: Ester, born 23 June 1814, who married Jakob Ernst von Ellikon a.d. Thur (1806-1851) in 1837, and who died in Zürich on 5 June 1891.35 [p.35]

33 Both the Family Bible and the Citizens Register cite 30 July 1812 as the day his first wife's death, though no mention of this date is found in the obituary records of St. Peter's nor in the death roll [Totenrodel] of Brugg. It is thus likely that she died at another location.

Her parents were: Jakob Weisendanger of Grüt-Dinhard and Küngolt Hagenbuch of Hettlingen.

35 This latter marriage produced 2 sons: Kaspar, born 1840, died 1904, tinsmith; and Jakob, locksmith, born 1845, died 1927. 49 The "Modern-day" Akerts of Aussersihl=Zürich

Hans Konrad Akert 1794-1865 It was only with the aid of public records that we were able to capture even the haziest glimpse of the public lives of our first two forbearers from Aussersihl; and not a single clue was found that might have shed light on the personal lives and fates of these individuals. In contrast, Hans Konrad Akert has provided us with lavish resources upon which to draw in our research. Though the number of surviving eyewitnesses who were personally touched by him is modest at best, it is nonetheless to these few that we owe numerous anecdotal remarks and personal impressions that present us with a picture of a man given to constant hard work and blessed with success and good fortune. That the memory of Hans Konrad Akert lives on in future generations is attributable not only to such personal reminiscence. His own multifaceted talents and selfless devotion to others in both the public and private sphere have in large part kept his name from slipping into obscurity. The first child of Hans Kaspar Akert and M. Catharina Dägerfeld, Hans Konrad was born into this world on 22 November 1794 and was baptized at St. Peters Church. His godparents were the previously-mentioned guildmaster Hans Konrad Lavater of the salt works36 and the spinster Küngold Lavater. Our sources reveal nothing about his early childhood, nor are we certain as to Hans Konrad's first chosen occupation. One vague reminiscence points to one of those cotton fabric dye works in Hard (Esslinger, Hofmeister, among others) at that time enjoying their heyday, but which during the 30's and later [p.30]

36 Hans Conrad Lavater, 1745-1805, Jüngster zur Gerwi 1766, Zwölfer 1783, Salzhausschreiber 1785, Zunstschreiber 1791, He died abruptly on the scales as he was in business. (Keller=Escher, Promptuarium genealogicum.) 50 years were pressured through foreign custom barriers into closing their doors. It was in one of those "establishments", we suspect that young Hans Konrad, for a time his son Melchior as well, got his start. On 3 May 1819 he wed Anna Blümle (seamstress) born 21 May 1797, died February 27, 1876, daughter of Joh. Blümle of Konstanz (21 November 1764 - 7 March 1831) and Anna Laubi of Wipkingen (1769- 1837). For a time following the dedication of the church in 1823, Hans Konrad occupied the lower apartment of the community-owned house "at the red wall", the latter consisting of a parlor, kitchen, an adjoining chamber with an additional room, in addition to half the herb garden (annual rent of 41 francs). Thereafter, on 20 June 1840, he purchased the dwellings at Zweiergässli from the heirs of Hans Jakob Müller, including a one and one-half jucharten37 [140 acres] garden land and 1/2 jucharte [45 acres] of fields in Sihlfeld for the sum of 9500 francs, according to the notary records of Aussersihl. It is this same abode, Zweiergütli as it was called then, that represents strictly speaking, the ancestral home of our present day lineage. Though virtually all traces of the original estate have disappeared, it is still not difficult for us to visualize the original breadth and scope of our ancestral home: a triangular shaped piece of land with the point disposed toward the village of Wiedikon and bordered on each side by what is now the Grüngasse, Ankerstrasse and the Zweierstrasse, respectively. The estate in its entirety has been extensively rebuilt through the decades so that now it requires a bit of imagination to visualize in our "modern minds" the old homestead as it once stood in its pastoral surroundings. The passage of time has blotted out the last few remains of an earlier age, but still, a few isolated pear trees facing the Grüngasse starkly contrast with their modern surroundings, as a persistent reminder to us of a time in which a snug and intimate farmstead once stood amidst the green meadows and woods. Hans Konrad's marriage to Anna Blümle proved an especially fruitful one, what with the appearance of numerous children in rapid succession--14 sons and daughters between the years 1819 and 1838, two

37 Translator's Note: 'Juchart': variant of 'jauchert'= a measure of land; the amount of land plowed by a pair of oxen in one day. (Grimms Deutsches Wörterbuch [dictionary]) 51 of whom, it is sad to say, died in early infancy. It was no easy task, we can be sure, to be the breadwinner and at the same time raise so many children. No matter the trial and tribulation, father Hans Konrad surmounted them all, though not without a certain wistful longing for the time [p.41] when his eldest would be mature enough to hold his own and so relieve somewhat the heavy burdens of such a large family. That none of his offspring pursued a scholarly career is hardly surprising. In time Hans Konrad expanded his holdings, annexing here and there one parcel of acreage after another and putting this land to good use for the welfare of his family. As a tiller of the soil, so at the mercy of the elements like perhaps no one else, Hans Konrad's foremost concern lay with his fields and pastures. He depended on the fruits that these yielded. Little wonder then when we find in his daily journals reference first and foremost to his daily labors. Little wonder when we come across a passage expressing heartfelt thanks that an ominous, impending storm had just passed harmlessly overhead, sparing his lands from untold havoc and destruction, or thanks for the bountiful bundles of hay filling his barn. It was not enough that Hans Konrad labored day in and day out as a farmer. He also ran a laundry and ironing service38 which was to tax him and his financial resources to the utmost. There was wood and coal to be bought and hired help to be paid. A laundering service of this type, though it did cater to the more distinguished city clientele [Stadtgeschlechter] could hardly have turned a significant profit. In short, money worries, the day to day concerns over how to make ends meet, how to extricate himself from one dilemma or another, must have evoked many a heavy sigh from Hans Konrad as head of the family. We find many a sorrowful, and consoling passage in his journals which dwell on these concerns, as will be noted later. It is well worth asking ourselves what it was that gave this good man the strength and self confidence to endure a life born of such care and sorrow. Aside from sincere religious devotion it was above all his fondness for music, which rounded out his life and to which, by virtue of

38 In 1863, Aussersihl boasted five such laundering services community- wide. 52 his considerable musical talents, he was able to devote himself. The twenties and thirties of the 19th century saw the birth and founding of Swiss men's choral societies, in particular in and around Zürich. Hans Georg Nägeli was its inspirational founder as well as its powerful and influential spokesman. In 1828 the "Choral Club of the Limmatthal" [Limmat Valley] was founded under his aegis, boasting a membership, as we read in Fr. Vogel's "Memorabilia Tigurina", of 174 men, including [p.41] 19 from Fluntern, 26 from Wipkingen, 38 from Höngg, 33 from Albisrieden, 28 from Altstetten, 20 from Aussersihl, 10 from Schwamendingen". Among these choir members, a small contingency of 20 Aussersihl men was to evolve in time into the present day burgeoning "Aussersihl-Zürich Men's Choir" which just this past year (1928) ceremoniously observed its 100th anniversary. On the occasion of its 75th anniversary the choir published a ceremonial address authored by Eduard Zürcher, which includes among other things the following interesting passage: "Regretfully, none of the names of the founders of our choir (25 May 1928) are listed in the minutes of the first meeting. However, we note that at the meeting held on 23 March 1833, the following board members were appointed:

President: Salomon Blümle Musical Director: Conrad Akert Clerk: Joh. Rud. Wunderli Treasurer: Johannes Brandenberger On this occasion another 13 members signed for the first time the revised by-laws, bringing the total to 17 members. We are probably not wide of the mark in our assumption that the majority of these members were instrumental in the founding of the choir society".

The primary motivation behind the first choral societies at that time were the simple pleasure in singing patriotic songs and as a means of promoting social intercourse. However, the choral society's woefully inadequate financial resources precluded any remuneration of the musical director. At a meeting on 26 December 1846 the following resolution was passed which gives a clear indication of the choir's financial state in those days, "it is hereby resolved that the choral club remunerate its director Ackert in the form of a gratuity in the sum of 17 fl. (about 2.23

53 Francs) and that further the choir express its deep gratitude for his many services faithfully rendered." At the meeting held on 8 February 1851, Mr. Akert expressed the wish that "he be relieved of his post as director, insofar as it was his conviction that the choir would better flourish and prosper under someone else's leadership." The choir expressed its sincerest thanks to him for services faithfully rendered and Akert was simultaneously elected an honorary member of the choir. Conrad Akert received honorable mention in the ceremonial address referred to above as the first choir director of the Aussersihl-Zürich Men's Choir, from May 1828 to February 1851. The 100th year anniversary of the Men's Choir provided yet another occasion for publication an address, authored by honorary member and teacher, Konrad Freihofer. The address as well expresses [p.43] its appreciation and gratitude to its first musical director, and it also reveals in one passage certain historical details which illuminate the prevailing woeful conditions under which the choral society labored to remain afloat and which we cite as follows: At the meeting held on 25 April 1833 the following resolution was adopted:

After which the recommendation of the board was brought up for discussion, namely that the Society were desirous of purchasing for its own use 4 or 5 iron candleholders [Stöcke], and after briefly taking same under advisement followed by a unanimous vote of consent, such were in fact purchased. Further it was unanimously agreed to have a small coffer with a lock made, the key to same to be kept in the possession of the director, a coffer suitable enough to fit in a confined space.

Finally the following entry to the minutes of the meeting held on 12 December 1846: In consideration of the unpleasantness entailed in the meetings of the Society being held in the unheated schoolroom during cold weather, and the general discomfort of meeting in same, it was so resolved that for the sake of expedience the Men's Choir was hereby to assemble in the drawing room of Mssrs. Jakob and Ulrich Gugolz for the duration of the winter months. As to the caliber and quality of singing characteristic of this first singing organization, this we leave to the conjecture of our readers. It is

54 amply clear from numerous journal entries, though, how devoted Hans Konrad was, how faithfully and unfailingly he strived in service to the men's choir. It would be unbecoming to the man's character were we to make a singular fuss about his meritorious efforts. Nevertheless, if, after 100 years, we wish to comprehend the degree of personal sacrifice invested in the Men's Choir by Akert, it is only just that such meritorious achievements receive here their proper and due recognition. The present generation of singers performs under comparatively ideal conditions, and choir directors are no longer content with accepting token gratuities for their efforts. We agree with the Society chronicler when he says: "True, we can assume that the tasks and duties of a choir director then were hardly what we would term insurmountable, and yet this honest, upright man did his utmost for the Society. It is especially to his credit that he was able to keep a fledgling choir together which at that time was in serious danger of never getting off the ground. May we honor such loyalty!" [p.44] Hans Konrad possessed an innate talent for music39. He played several instruments and appears to have composed on occasion as well. His favorite instrument was probably the cornet, a type of trumpet. As a father of strong religious conviction, religious music, in which singing played a particularly important role, was especially close to his heart. His sons, Melchior, Konrad and Hans were likewise blessed with musical talent, and so they often joined together in musical ensemble [Quodlibet] and entertaining for their own amusement and pleasure. Such musical activities were not confined to the home for long, however. Since life was hardly a bed of roses for this prolific family, the idea soon took root of putting the muses to good service. And so it happened that father and sons were asked not infrequently to provide musical entertainment at one or the other meeting or social engagement not only in and around Aussersihl but in more distant neighboring towns as well. That they indulged in mostly the lighter forms of music at these affairs should come as no surprise. Hence, on one or more occasions the small ensemble would strike up a cheery tune for listening or dancing pleasure, and often

39 We are pleased to note that this same sense and talent for music continues to run in our family right down to the youngest generation of today. 55 they played through the night, though certainly not for anything but the meagerest of recompense. Still they were glad to supplement their daily bread by any means possible, for they could always use the extra few francs. We find numerous passages in his journals recounting the many nights spent playing into the waning hours, and many was the festive and jovial evening of dancing at home, in which the wash house served as a dance floor, and young and old alike revelled in song and dance till the early hours of the morning. It must not have been easy at times for a family man of his advanced age to play far from home, often having to cover long distances on foot with his instrument tucked under his arm. How fortunate indeed are we today, who have the street car or auto at our disposal, to whisk us to our appointed destination as fast as the wind. Thus, Hans Konrad was heavily involved in ever expanding musical endeavors, quite apart from his occupational duties as a farmer. If we consider that in addition to all this, he also served as substitute precentor for his son Hans at St. Jakob's church and was called upon from time to time to lead this or that small men's or mixed choir, we cannot help but feel astonished at this man's energy and diligence. As a town official as well, Hans Konrad could hold his own. It is with deep reverence and respect that we read [p.45] his meticulously kept minutes, written during his tenure of more than ten years as town clerk of Aussersihl, not to mention the minutes for the local school and charity organizations in which he also actively participated. The town council appointed him representative to the Presbytery [Stillstand] of St. Peters. This required attendance at each meeting in conjunction with which he was called upon on occasion to "stand in" during church services. Truly, it is a momentous life that manifests itself here, one marked by selfless devotion and unfailing constancy in the performance of one's duties. Mention has been made on repeated occasion of the journals Hans Konrad left to posterity. Several of these stemming from the years 1847, 1849, 1851, 1853 to and including 1863 are in our possession, and it is very possible that here and there journals from other years may have survived. These are, more precisely, consistently-maintained, daily recordings worthy of our closer attention at this point. Though written some 70-80 years ago, they are of such vintage as to impress firmly on

56 our minds the monumental changes that have affected man and his times over a span of two generations. The diaries in question (their author entitled them "journals") give us not only an accounting of the life-long accomplishments of its author as both farmer and musician, but they are a reflection of the man's innermost feelings and emotions. Their pages are filled with the joys and sorrows Hans Konrad felt for his family and his work. It is almost impossible for us today to grasp what it meant under those conditions to care for and to successfully raise such a large family. His concerns over money, that one element that determines whether one makes his way successfully or not through life, caused him many a difficult and anxious moment. He awaited tax day with fear and trepidation, in particular Martiniday, November 11. How great his elation once those days were safely behind him, and he could once again gather renewed strength and courage. Small wonder that in his daily journal entries his anxiety over where his "next meal" was to come from seemed at times to overshadow all else. As a farmer his first and foremost concern involved his fields and pastures. Hans Konrad recorded to the smallest detail his daily farming tasks. We follow him step [p.46] by step out in his field, be it close by or on a distant parcel, where he had to sow, plow, cut or harvest his fields depending upon the season. The laundering service involved various additional tasks as well. For instance, wood had to be chopped or sawed, often requiring several days to accomplish, but wherein he was able to enlist the help of his sons. On those occasions when wood was to be inspected or purchased, one generally set out on foot "over the mountains" to Uitikon, Birmensdorf, Aesch, Wettswil or Sellenbüren, where one either first inspected the "goods" and/or perhaps consummated a sale. On most occasions the father did not travel alone, but rather was accompanied by two or three of his children. The latter always took great pleasure in accompanying their father on such business trips, for this always meant tasty "Znüni" or "Zabig" somewhere along the way. They were partial to stopping at Dubs in the "Lion" in Uitikon along the road to Birmensdorf--the inn has long since vanished though the house still stands--for liquid refreshment. For years afterward this spot remained a favorite haunt and outing destination of his descendants, who

57 no doubt on more than one occasion had opportunity to trip the light fantastic. Whenever I pass by this way, I glance at the beautiful old spot and I envision to myself how pleasant it must have been for wanderers to tarry here after an exhausting day's journey. Hans Konrad's journals leave little doubt as to the sincerity and depth of his religious beliefs and convictions. Even were we unaware of this fact, his own writings clearly convey to us that Hans Konrad was a true Christian and pious family man, whose creed is rooted in trust, as expressed in the words of Georg Neumark: He, who surrenders to our Dear Lord, And places his hope in Him forevermore, So shall he be miraculously guided, Through all tribulation and sorrow. He who trusts in God Almighty, Has founded his trust on firm ground. Sing, pray and follow the path of the Lord Perform with constancy thy daily tasks, And believe in the Lord's bountiful blessing, So shall He be resurrected in thee. For he who sets his confidence in the Lord Shall not be forsaken.

[p.47] He commenced the new year by trusting in the Giver of all Good and saw out the old year by giving thanks to Him. And though such year- end reflections on his part may seem unduly exuberant to us, we recognize all the more the sincerity of such emotions, that they are in effect deeply felt expressions of gratitude to God in all his magnanimity, whose protective, gracious will was manifested to Akert in so many concerns of the family and of his working life throughout the year. Sadly, we of a different generation are unreceptive to such emotional outpourings. And yet it is one and the same God which illuminates both good and evil. May that kind of healthy, fervent conviction so alive in a man like Hans Konrad Akert never die out in the hearts of his descendants. A closer examination of these journals would no doubt be of interest to many a relative. Hence, the author has assembled a small selection of journal entries which are presented below. In so doing we

58 have omitted those dealing with the life and activities of Hans Konrad the farmer (these by definition fill the greatest number of pages, though by the same token they also provide more context for information from closer and more distant family members). The following cites a number of entries that illustrate how musically active the father Hans and his sons were. They also offer us a glimpse into the innumerable challenges as well as vexations which troubled the author of these pages. We also see into a mind born of solace and conviction; a mind that never gave up on itself nor on the belief in a better, more prosperous future. ______

This morning it snowed heavily again on my way to Wipkingen to the church to direct the men's choir; Midday 11am rushed over to the Enge schoolhouse to conduct another choir rehearsal,--at which point Weinmann then took over for me in the chapel [Bätthaus].

Finally, at around 3 in the morning everyone departed for home. Today was such a beautifully warm, bright and sunny day, leaving all to marvel and gaze in awe.

End of 1854: this year, too, now drawing to a close was one of the happiest, most blessed ones; no misfortune, [p.52] no oppressive misery or dire need, no sickness befell us; this year, too, our Lord the Almighty, our Father in Heaven shed his mercy upon us, protecting and sheltering us; only two members

63 of the family passed on this year, praise God that all went well; another year of our lives passed in peace, fine health and well being, for which we offer most fervently our deepest, sincerest thanks, prayers and praise to God the Almighty. Praised be His Name now and forever! Amen! 2 January 1855: Bächtoldsday! --I composed music--we held a brief rehearsal; the weather turned a bit warmer and calmer; this evening around 5pm we all went to the "Schnecken" [snail] to play at the ball hosted by Mr. Werdmüller-Stocker in Stadelhofen, 10 francs per person, played till half past midnight, then returned home to bed. 14 February 1855: weather was icy today; I spent the entire day copying 15 songs for guitar for Netti.

This evening Melcher, Conrad and I went to the Mühlenhalden dance on the Obere Strass [High Street] to play till 1am, earnings: 10 francs; returned home at 2am, clear moonlit night, very cold. End of 1855: This year, 1855, also richly bestowed with God's blessing; mercifully spared by Divine providence from unwanted misfortune; although often beset by troubles and anxiety it was always divine providence which smoothed over the rough road; for this we fervently offer God the Almighty, blessed Father in Heaven our sincerest, humblest gratitude, adoration and praise! But alas, it is a momentous, troubled future that looms ahead causing us grievous, tortuous anxiety, for we have fallen significantly behind in our payments; again painful worry and deep [p.53] anxiety. May God the Almighty

64 stand mercifully by us and aid us in our need. His will be done. Amen. 3 January 1856: beautifully bright and sunny morning, but clouded over somewhat by midday; I entered the accounts payable already totalling 200 francs. Has caused me unending misery and woe, many a heavy, distress-filled hour. Oh Lord. 4 February 1856: overpowering, bitterly cold weather with terribly dense fog--Conrad set out with Bünzli and Städeli to Jonen in Freyamt to play at the Shrovetide [Fassnacht] dance; children slept in till noon; I composed music --- nothing but sadness!!! 16 April 1856: Rather wet and cold with a harsh icy wind blowing from the north. We fetched 1/2 cord of firewood from Blümle, my brother-in- law, at 10 1/2 francs; sawed and split it; grew continually colder with biting north wind. Hans and his brother helped Melcher in the potatoes this afternoon; ominous weather; endured deep sorrow, anxiety and agonizing distress in most every respect, all around us nothing but misery and lamentation; sad, oppressive, ominous time confronting us all. O, my Lord, my Lord have mercy upon us! 1 June 1856: beautiful morning, bright and sunny; we went to the church orphanage; this afternoon, singing; this evening I played cornet at the Falkenburg theater in Melcher's place (who was indisposed). 11 November 1856: Very rainy and blustery, tempestuous weather; with God's blessing and heavy of heart I went about paying my creditors; first I paid H.

End of 1857: Yet another year behind us now; a year we will never forget, a year filled with miracles in which unbounded divine blessings fell to our share in immeasurable abundance; for this we cannot thank Him, the Almighty, Our Father in Heaven nearly enough. May all living beings praise, thank, honor and adore Him in solemn show, eternal almighty God, for now and ever more! Amen! 25 January 1858: ...I composed trumpet music for Conrad and his friends. 5 January 1860: Took inventory this afternoon; the outcome was

65 dismal; felt sad and pensive.[p.54} 11 March 1860: ...I continued to pray, for I was plagued by great distress and worry what with numerous outstanding debts and an uncertain, hard, dismal future looming large before me. 12 November 1860: Martini. Hans paid off the creditors. I had succumbed to fearful distress, anxiety and apprehension; made payment of 454 francs, but that is not all that has contributed to my worrisome hours. End of 1860: Well! Yet another year behind us; a year filled with much sadness and grief, but also much joy, always showered with munificent divine blessings and the unbounded kindness of God; for this we express our eternal gratitude to the Almighty, our Father in Heaven. Albeit this year was wetter than in years past, yet blessed with bountiful fruit and grain harvests. 23 January 1861: ...I felt extremely depressed and despondent today because of the considerable unpaid debts; I face a dark and ominous future filled with great anxiety and fear in my heart.

Beginning of 1863: This year too we start out in prayer and with entreaties to God; come year end we will be able to say, "Thanks be to God, things went well!" 7 January 1863: Hans was paid 46 francs today for his duties as song leader [Vorsinger]. 11 January 1863: Had to substitute for Hans as song leader in church today. End of 1863: Alas! Another excellent year has slipped by; a richly bountiful, fruitful year, filled with unbounded kindness, an unusually prosperous year in every respect. For this we can never thank the Almighty, Benevolent and Merciful Father in Heaven nearly enough. Let us offer with childlike innocence and with joyous reverence our most heartfelt adoration, praise, gratitude and respect to God the Almighty for these untold munificent gifts and blessings. Thy name be praised and glorified for now and evermore! Amen! Amen! Hallelujah!

Hans Konrad died on 8 April 1865 at the age of 70 years, 4 months and 16 days.

66 PRAISE TO HIS MEMORY!

Following his death, Hans Konrad's son-in-law, Heinrich Peter, and his wife took over the laundry service and ran it for several years thereafter. Upon his return from America Hans Konrad's son Konrad had purchased that portion of his father's estate which faced the present-day Zweierstrasse. In 1865 he put the main house at Zweierstrasse 38 (which [p.55] still stands to this day [1930, also 1994]) up for sale. Immediately afterwards Hans Konrad's son-in-law, Johann Schönholzer, acquired the remaining portion of the deceased's property and gradually auctioned off parcels of land for building lots. In this way the beautiful old homestead, Zweiergütli, slowly "melted away" and in its place the expansive dwelling as we know it today began to evolve with each succeeding decade. Mother Akert-Blümle, a hard-working, energetic, but kind and loyal spouse and mother in her time, lived out her remaining years with her children Karl and Marie, where on 27 February 1876 a vibrant, active life came quietly to a close.

42 [Editor's note: In America he was known as John Henry Akert, Jr. See previous footnote.] 71 Hans Kaspar Akert 1797-1866 Hans Kaspar Akert was born in Aussersihl on 10 October 1797. He seems by all accounts to have led a much simpler life than his brother Hans Konrad. We have no accounts of his childhood nor of his private life, and only the barest facts about the kind of life he led. He is listed as a "baker" in the earliest public records and as such must have resided for a period of time as a young man in Affoltern near Höngg. On 24 June 1832 he married Maria Josepha Ammann from Ermatingen43 in the Thurgau. She was born on 14 January 1810, and he resided for many years in her hometown, where he is said to have run a grocery store. We know from certain entries in his brother's journals that Hans Kaspar returned with his family to Aussersihl in the Fall of 1853, lived in Wipkingen until November 1854, and finally relocated 14 November of that same year to the St. Jakob infirmary, where, it appears, he took on the position of an attendant44. It is in this context that his name is listed for the first time among the "residents" ["Niedergelassenen"] in the Civic Ledger [Bürger-Etat] of Zürich for the year 1861. According to the church death rolls he died on 15 April 1866 while residing on Preiergasse. He wife had preceded him to the grave on 18 September 1855. The marriage of Hans Kaspar Akert and Josepha Ammann produced six children: Konrad, born 26 October 1838, died 4 December 1854; Johann Jakob, born 26 March 1840, died 30 April 1840; M. Elisabeth, born 6 October 1841, died 31 October 1912; Sophie, born 4 February 1843, died .. February l843; Rudolf, born 4 February 1845, died 11 February 1845; Karl, born 6 May 1846, died 15 October 1902.

43 Her (catholic) parents were: Joseph Anton Ammann and Josepha, nee Hanhart.

44 An entry in Hans Konrad Akert's journal, dated 21 April 1856 reads: "Yesterday my brother assumed the post of widow and orphan ward". 72 Of his six children Hans Kaspar was outlived by only his daughter Elisabeth and his son Karl. [p.59] In 1865 M. Elizabeth married Caspar Ernst (1840-1904), the son of Ester Akert (Hans Kaspar Akert's stepsister) and Jakob Ernst, potter by trade (1806-1851), and as whose descendants we recognize the following beloved acquaintances:

Elisabeth, born 1866, widow of R. Meyer, Rosine, born 1868, widow of C. Bohdin, Kaspar, born 1872, died 28 May 1902, Karl, born 1883, wed M.E. Studer.

Though the kindred ties that bind us as a family are perhaps not as steadfast as one might wish, still we cherish the hope that in the future such ties may remain intact just as they have to the present. Karl Akert, bookbinder, who wed Elise Brandenberger of Flaach (born 2 June 1844, died 8 June 1918) on 23 September 1872 left no children. Hence, he represents the last descendant in the male line descending from Hans Kaspar Akert. As numerous as Hans Konrad Akert's progeny were, it is noteworthy that in succeeding generations the number of male offspring declined sharply, indeed for a time the male line seemed destined to extinction. Hans Konrad was in fact survived by six sons, of whom Melchior had four, Heinrich two, Konrad two, Hans had but one male offspring, whereas Kaspar had no children at all, and Jakob was survived by only one daughter. With the following generation the survival of the Akert lineage seemed imperiled indeed, for Uncle Fritz and his three sons had settled permanently in North America to leave this author "standing alone" ["allein auf weiter Flur"], presumably with the dubious distinction of representing the last survivor of his lineage, at least in our part of the world. Fortunately, such a calamity was not to be for with the youngest generation two young boys: Willy, born 1918 and Hans, born 1921 have stepped in to fill the gap. The birth of Konrad, 1919, a product of the late marriage of Konrad Akert-Eichmann, has assured the unbroken continuity of our lineage that originated with Hans Konrad Akert.

73 May the youngest generation thrive and prosper!! [p.60]

74 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." Revelations of John 14:13) [K.J.V.] Melchior Akert, Sexton of St. Peter's 1820-1894 Melchior Akert, the second child of Hans Konrad Akert and Anna Blümle was born 8 October 1820 in Aussersihl and baptized at St. Peter's Church. Serving as godparents "in residence" were Melchior Örtli from Clarus and Miss Anna Dübendorfer. As the number of brothers and sisters increased annually, "Melcher" was called upon to work at home and in the fields as soon as school ended. In addition to these duties he practiced his music lessons diligently in order that he, too, might pull his own weight and help to supplement the family income. By virtue of his father's instruction and through tenacious personal effort, Melchior was soon to become a professional musician. He filled the position of horn player during the 1850's at the old Aktientheater in Zürich, which later (on New Year's Day 1890) burned to the ground. On one occasion Richard Wagner, at that time conductor at the theater during his "Zürich exile", is said to have spoken highly of Akert's musical prowess, after the latter was called upon to tackle a particularly difficult passage. Performances were limited to the winter months such that Melchior took on a second music job out of town in order to earn a living during the summer. The heavy burden of this young man's life was alleviated significantly when some years later he was appointed town bailiff, earning an annual salary at that time of 500 francs! For a time he filled the post of town clerk (1863). On 22 October 1849, he married Regula Dorothea Räss, born 7 March 1828 in Aussersihl. She was the daughter of [p.60] Heinrich Räss

75 from Benken, 1795-1851, a sales clerk in Sihlhof, who resided in Zweiergässli 93, and whose first wife was Maria Dorothea Vollmar from Oberhausen in the Württembergs (1798-1830). A second child, Heinrich, born 2 August 1829 died in early childhood. Father Hans Konrad Akert, a diligent diarist in his own right, described the family occasion as follows:

1849, 22 October: rainy. Melcher's wedding day; went to St. Jakob's church. They rode in carriages around Lake Zürich. We spent the entire day making preparations and hauling in additional necessities, since the house was rather bare. At 8:30pm everyone arrived home, whereupon we were entertained the entire night by the men's choir and musicians.

It was no trivial accomplishment for a young, self-reliant couple such as this to raise and care for a host of children who appeared on the scene in rapid succession. In spite of the many hardships early on, the children enjoyed the benefits of a fine education. It was a tremendous uplift for his family, in view of Melchior's heretofore extremely uncertain employment circumstances, when in 1874 Melchior Akert was appointed sexton of St. Peter's in Zürich. That same year Melchior and his family moved into the sexton's quarters on the grounds of St. Peter's [St. Peterhofstatt 7]. For the next 20 years these were to offer them a comfortable homestead, as well as a favorite haunt for many relatives, in particular, his grandchildren. The so-called "House of the Peacock" originally belonged to the town mayor Leonhard Holzhalb, but from 1589 on it served as the official living quarters of the sexton of St. Peter's. Even in Melchior's day the house, both inside and out, had still retained much of its medieval character. Facing the Glockenstrasse, the house abutted the parsonage of St. Peter's, inhabited from 1783 until his death in 1801 by Johann Caspar Lavater. Both houses have since lost their original style and shape. Through extensive remodeling some years ago the house was transformed into what we now know as the "Lavater House". The author recalls with wistful longing those times in grandfather's house, the scene of inexpressibly delightful childhood experiences. Though his grandmother is but a dim, memory, having

76 passed away in 1888 (1 April) the [p.62] memory of his grandfather is all the more vivid and alive. As sexton, Melchior had an enormous number of tasks and duties to fulfill, and these he did with unending loyalty and devotion until his dying day in 1894. During those years the parish of St. Peter pulsated with a vibrant religious life, no doubt due in large part to the engagement of such notable clergymen and preachers as Johann Jakob Wissmann (1843-1903) and Deacon Dr. Konrad Furrer (1838-1908). The Sunday evening sermons of the latter cleric in particular drew lively audiences. Nowadays, of course, the religious life in St. Peter's and in other parishes is entirely different from what it was then. Back then there was never enough room in church to accommodate all the worshipers, whereas today's preacher often finds himself sermonizing to empty pews. Every minute of Melchior's day as sexton of St. Peter's was taken up by job-related duties. Nevertheless, music was seriously and zealously pursued in the grandparent home, and many a quiet evening was augmented by the lovely ensemble strains of piano and violin. Though printed music was a highly desirable commodity, the Akert family could ill afford the expenditure; hence, they took it upon themselves to copy music. Melchior's son in particular, through great diligence, skill and love for his craft, produced astonishingly fine reproductions, often times laboring through the night. The results were magnificent, handwritten copies; only a person for whom music filled a deep heartfelt need is capable of achievements of such caliber. Associated with the sexton's house on the grounds of St. Peter's are innumerable, unforgettable childhood memories. On Sundays when the weather was fine, the "Roberts" and "Schaggis" gathered here with their children, often to set out from the grounds of St. Peter's on foot excursions into the country. The family always loved to search out its favorite haunts at the foot of Uetliberg, places like Kolbenhof, Friesenberg, and Döltschi among others. Not infrequently they perchance met up with other relatives and would spend an enjoyable day of merriment, eating and imbibing in the sun. An especially favored stop- over was the shady garden of Knüsli, the farmer in Hard along the road to Altstetten, a pilgrimage the family often made even after grandfather's death. It was always customary to pick all the fields clean of the fruit

77 that had fallen on the ground. [p.63] We children were especially smitten by damsons [Zwetschgen = domestic prunes] and "usteröpfel" [Easter apples]. In our youthful wanton we even deigned to befriend the local "denizens" of the pigsty, drawing no end of pleasure at teasing and pestering them. Once Captain Spelterini landed his hot air balloon in the nearby fields; young and old alike dashed out to view this exciting and unusual spectacle. Mostly, however, we traipsed along through meadows abounding in colorful flowers beside a splendid little stream and along through the Hard till we reached the Hard tower. From there we rode the ferry across the Limmat, always an unexpected thrill for us children, then made for the city [Zürich] by way of Wipkingen and the Letten. Today, of course, those beautiful meadows and that babbling brook would be impossible to find. Only the Hard tower remains standing, while the ferry across the Limmat stopped running years ago. His grandchildren always felt great affection for their grandfather Akert. When, as was the family custom, a family member's christening- day was to be celebrated (in earlier times "christening-day" held greater significance then one's "birthday"), the younger contingent was almost never excluded from the midday meal, at which there was always something particularly delicious being served. Those were joyous and festive occasions held in the cozy drawing room with that great green- tiled stove and the small portal, through which all the food passed from the kitchen to the built-in buffet, where it was set out in all its splendor. -- Christmas on the grounds of St. Peter's was forever an especially festive occasion for us children. The life of a Christmas tree was a long tenacious one, usually not "waning" until Dorothea Day, i.e., February 6 of the following new year. The sexton of St. Peter even showed compassion and understanding towards the local "gang" who loitered about St. Peter's church and who were otherwise not known for their "delicacy of manner". These he generally left be. The square directly in front of the church formed their "domain", and here the boys amused themselves by throwing the ball back and forth, or with other brisk and lively games. In winters heavy with snow, the boys would build a snow hut and sit inside by candlelight. Occasionally the church yard functioned as an exercise ground, or we would pay a visit to Tower Watchman Esslinger perched

78 high up in his tower living quarters. Grandfather Melchior died on 3 March 189445 and was laid to rest at the central municipal cemetery. His death also meant the end of a youthful idyllic time spent on the grounds of St. Peter's, for those old familiar rooms of the sexton's house had to be vacated to make room for Melchior's successor Gossweiler Platz. The memories of those idyllic times in our grandparents' home still well up within us each time our path takes us across that square.

From the marriage of Melchior Akert 1820-1894 to Dorothea Räss 1828-1888 the following are descended:

Heinrich, merchant, born 10 November 1850, died 30 May 1819, remained single.

Jakob, locksmith, born 10 November 1851, died 23 May 1908, 6 October 1881 married Emilie Volkart of Niederglatt, born 16 September 1855, died 17 August 1921; children (see Biography)

Fritz, harness maker, born 12 May 1853; lived in Riverside, Pisgah farm, California, USA; married 12 May 1883 Pauline Roser of Komar, born 26 February 1857, died 13 May 1894. Children: Paul, born 1 January 1889. Friedrich, born 29 October 1890. Wilhelm, born 30 April 1892. Rosa, born 11 April 1894. all four married American citizens.

The author has in his possession a detailed biography of Fritz Akert written in the latter's own hand.

Melchior Akert had his name recorded in the citizen register (Bürgerrecht) of the city of Zürich in 1885. 79 Robert, merchant, born 1 July 1856, died 8 October 1922; married 6 March 1883 Anna Huber from Horgen, born 16 November 1860, died 19 February 1922. Children (see Biography)

Anna, born 16 February 1860; single; lives in Spiegelgasse 27, Zürich 1. [p.65]

Our synopsis of the Akert-Räss union would not be complete without due consideration given to our ties to the Rubli line. Though still in existence today, this side of the family is represented by but a few isolated members. The inception of the Rubli-Akert=Räss ties may be best illustrated by the following schema:

Heinrich Räss 1795-1851 second marriage to Maria Barb. Frey from Brugg 1802-1864. Children: Emilie, born 13 April 1832. Marie, born 13 January 1834. Louise, born 23 August 1835, died 1887; married to Hans Rubli of Dachsen, 1830-1893. Children: Hans, 1862-1919, married to M. Furtwängler. Children: Hans, born 1890, in Brooklyn. Ernst, born 1891, in Geneva. Ernst, born 1865, single. Louse, born 1867, widow of Voltre' s in Geneva. Anna, born 13 July 1844, died 1927.

It is our hope that the bonds of friendship existing between the

80 Akert and Rubli families since time immemorial may yet remain as firm with the youngest as well as with all future generations.

81 Konrad Akert, Elder Timber Merchant 1831-1920 Konrad was born in Aussersihl on February 2, 1831, the eighth child of Hans Konrad Akert and Anna Blümle. After completing his general education the young boy labored as an assistant in the Botanical Gardens of Zürich where he learned the gardening trade. Thereafter he held the position of gardener for our celebrated citizen Dr. Alfred Escher in Belavoir in the Narrows, until his journey to America in 1858. According to his father's journal entries, we note that Konrad undertook extensive preparations prior to the start [p.65] of the journey, one which at that time was considered a highly unorthodox undertaking. Parting from the parental home and his loved ones proved to be a painfully emotional trial for all. Konrad was as devoted to his parents as he was to his siblings, and he was forever concerned about their well- being. Even from across the Atlantic he strived as best he could to improve the lot of his loved ones; hence it was not infrequent that a welcome gratuity from abroad found its way home. After a seven year absence Konrad returned to Switzerland and in 1865 married one Maria Verena Baldin. That same year he purchased the house "at the Walche" in Stampfenbach (formerly the birthplace of the Swiss poet Conrad Ferdinand Meyer) for dismantling and reassembled the house at 38 Zweierstrasse. The latter stands to this day virtually unchanged in outward appearance, and it serves among other things, as his daughter's living quarters. In Aussersihl Konrad became a wine and timber merchant of considerable renown in the local community thanks to an unlimited store of energy and tenacity. Having gained the trust and confidence of the local citizenry he was appointed public assistant and administrator, an office he performed dutifully over a 20 year period until Aussersihl was annexed as a part of Zürich. Konrad was also elected a member of the board of church trustees and in the years to come the board and the community at large were to benefit greatly from his farsightedness, his considerable experience and helpful assistance. The present generation (including this author) remembers with

82 fondness and gratitude our "Unggle Konerad" and Aunt Marie; they invariably greeted us young ones with a tasty morsel from the kitchen or garden, indeed we may say with confidence, therein lay their greatest pleasure. It was customary on New Year's day for the family to gather in large numbers at Uncle Konrad's in the afternoon and drink a toast to the New Year. On such festive occasions the older contingent invariably savored a (Nusswässerlein - liquer) while the younger consortium relished in delicious Zürich sweetmeats. Though such delightful times are now a part of the past, we delight in seeking out the Konrad homestead even today, for it represents a last, lingering reminder of what was once the Zweiergütli estate. In his later years Konrad had a passion for gardening and besides was an enthusiastic nature lover (what else?). He felt at one with our splendid mountain countryside and [p.67] even as an old man often climbed in these mountains, having been blessed with astonishing physical and mental vigor and robustness. It was not until 17 December 1920 at the ripe old age of 90 that Konrad Akert, still in robust health, parted this earthly life.

83 Heinrich Akert 1850-1919 “Edel sei der mensch, hilfreich und gut.” “Noble is man, helpful and good” [famous line from a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Göthe] We know of no more fitting heading for the biographical sketch of this member of our family than the cited words of the great poet. It is characteristic of early youth that those persons and events which most lastingly leave their impressions on us are those who had something special to say to us, or those to whom we found a special love or devotion. In our circle of children, it was Uncle Heinrich Akert, or “Unggle Hangeri,” as we called him, who was considered someone very special; he was most beloved of all in our close family circle, and well we knew why. Mere words fail to describe the love and kindness which we all, excepting none (and blessing some especially), received from him. He was born the first child of his parents on November 10, 1850. After attending primary school in Aussersihl, he was allowed to continue his education at the Canton School. He apprenticed in the firm of Schinz and Bär, hardware merchants, to learn the trade. After completing his apprenticeship, he was employed in several business positions, the latter of which was again with Schinz and Bär, where his work earned great appreciation. None of these positions, however, left him satisfied. Since he had from his youth had a great interest in music, he hoped for better things from a position he obtained with the music shop of ‘Fries in the Meise.’ This was however not to be. Business was bad at Fries’, and the shop had nothing to offer the idealistic, industrious young employee. After being unemployed for a time, a reference helped secure for him a position with the well-known music store of the Brothers Hug & Co., to which he devoted his best energies up to his life’s end. It wasn’t easy for him to maintain his position in this ever-growing firm, which drew a large proportion of its employees from Reichsdeutsche [persons either of the German Empire or who supported the pan-German movement]. Unpleasantries and disappointments of all kinds were common. The ladder-climbing mentality of many of his co-workers went against the

84 very grain of Heinrich’s humble nature and brought forth his displeasure. It is understandable then that sometimes he would give went to his unhappiness, especially considering that his talents and accomplishments were not appreciated, and that he in no way received the recognition that was his due. Against all the many aggravations which business life brought with it, Heinrich looked for and found relaxation and succor in music, which he loved above all else. Unlike many of his co-workers, Heinrich had a thorough and multifaceted knowledge of the musical literature which many professional musicians might have envied. Through industrious, self-taught study he achieved a reputable facility on the organ and piano, and these instruments brought him and others many hours of invigoration and learning [Erbauung; here meaning cultural education and uplift]. He was less concerned with virtuosic playing, and more inclined, for instance, to explore an adagio movement of one of our classic musicians, especially Beethoven, and to yield himself to its effects. As a long-time loyal member of the Mixed Choir of Zürich, then under the direction of Dr. Friedrich Hegars, he was acquainted through and through with the choral literature. Of his favorites, Brahms’ “A German Requiem” always lay close to his heart. Of this glorious work he could speak only as one touched deep within, so deeply did the comforting sounds of the music touch and move his sensitive soul. Above all he loved the music of the Classical period, and Beethoven was to him the apex of the Empire of sound. He could not warm to the sounds of the ‘modern’ such as Richard Strauss, for which he often found caustic and sometimes hurtful words of criticism. Liszt in concert was pure horror to him. On the other hand, he supported the works of Richard Wagner, whose operas, appearing with excellent casts in the local city theater, enjoyed great success. His tender, sensitive style on the organ had early on attracted the attention of [organists such as] Gustav Weber, Armin Knecht, and Johannes Luz, for whom he served many years as a substitute player for services and events. A sincere friendship existed with Johannes Luz, organist at the Frauenmunster church, until Luz’ death in 1918. It is however with a very special thankfulness that the author of this work recalls the devotion of love and labor with which he introduced

85 him to the beauties of the musical art, first on the harmonium [parlor or reed organ], then on piano and organ. This instruction enabled him [the author] in later years to serve as organist at several churches in our city. Just as Heinrich Akert was an enthusiastic friend of music, so too was he by temperament a great friend of nature. Oh, how many happy walks near and far we have to thank him for! Once he had found out a secluded, cozy spot, he then loved to return to it with others. When the all too few vacation days which he allowed himself came around, he did not want to and simply could not enjoy them on his own. How often he appeared then, sometimes in the middle of the day, at the workshop window of his brother “Schaggi,” to entice him away for a trip to Luzern and the Vierwaldstättesee lake, or even just to take him along to the pub “Kronenberg” to down a Znüni [unknown]. Luzern was especially dear to his heart, and the now idyllic, now romantic shores of the classic lake exerted a powerful attraction on him. To do good and to show love was Uncle Henri’s heart’s desire; we children could write a book about this. Oh, how many “Chröli” [unknown] and how many paper bags full of steaming “Chestene” [roasted chestnuts] appeared at the last minute from their hiding places in his coat pockets, much to our delight, when “Unggle Henri” charmed us with his visits. He found a child-like joy in his small gifts. Unfortunately his last years stood under the earth-shattering mark of the World War, and he could not quite find the same pleasures in his life. Added to that, his heart condition was gaining the upper hand, until it finally brought on his peaceful death on May 30, 1919. His mortal remains were laid to their final rest in the Zentralfriedhof [Central Cemetery]. Uncle Henri lives in our memories as a good and kind man, one who cared a great deal for his own, and we remember him with gratitude.[p.70]

86 Jakob Akert, the Old Locksmith46 1851–1908 Jakob Akert was born in Aussersihl on November 10, 1851, exactly one year after his brother Heinrich. After finishing school, he chose to train as a locksmith. He completed his three-year apprenticeship with Master Locksmith R. H. Deck in Zürich in spring 1869, receiving a good grade on his [journeyman’s] certificate. At the beginning of the 1870s he followed the prevailing custom and took his hiking staff in hand. With his Wanderbuch [lit.: hiking book. Here, likely a collection of work papers and certificates] and travel papers in hand, he set out for foreign lands. He came to Geneva, where in the circle around the Christian Youth- and Men’s Association he found good comrades, with whom he remained bound in loyal friendship for the rest of his life. He had the great luck to find in the Brechbühl family in Bourg de Four a friendly, Christian-minded milieu which had a deciding impact on his character and his temperament. His simple dwelling was in a house on the Rue de la Cité in an unsightly quarter of Old Geneva. Once back in his homeland, he immediately joined the local Youth- and Men’s Association in the old Augustinerhof [hof here likely means a building], to which he remained true until his death. Here he made the acquaintance of faithful, pious men, with whom he often met to pray and to consider the Word of God. Truly, he had no need to be ashamed of his Christian convictions; how often the heavenly promises gave him comfort and strength in manifold situations of his family and work life. In Pastor Edmund Fröhlich of the St. Anna Chapel he found an interpreter of God’s Word who was able to satisfy fully the needs of his inner life. He became an ardent member of the congregation, was for a time a Sunday School teacher, and sang with the church choir, led by J. J. Reiner, director of the Mathilde Escher Foundation [likely a home for the poor or elderly]. Here

46 “Schlosser”, the German term, can mean both a locksmith and one who crafts metal items (railings, boxes, other smaller metal work). “Locksmith” was chosen due to references in the text to his clients’ having lost keys; this should not however exclude the possibility that Jakob may have also done other intricate metal work. 87 he made the acquaintance of his bride-to-be, Emilie Volkart, born on September 16, 1855, with whom he entered the bond of matrimony on October 4, 1881. His spouse also came from a Christian home. Her parents were Rudolf Volkart, a carpenter [or cabinetmaker], from Niederglatt (1826–1895), and Susanna Neuweiler, from Kreuzlingen (1829–1895). Her [Emilie’s] siblings were:[p.71] Rudolf b. April 14, 1853 Ernst b. October 16, 1856 Elise b. May 22, 1858, d. 1905 Gustav b. Sept 28, 1861, d. 1921 Up to her marriage, Emilie had worked first as a seamstress for linens and shirts, then as a Zettlerin47 for Baumann (Elder) and Co., and most recently as a sales woman at Mrs. Gimpert-Sprüngli’s. After their marriage, the newlyweds made their home in the so-called “Scratch Quarter” [Kratzquartier] at Stadthausplatz 21, in the area of today’s Kappelerhof (the same house in which the author was born on November 25, 1882). Soon after, however, they moved into the house at Kuttelgasse 4, which they later purchased. Through diligent and conscientious work, the young master locksmith in time built up a good and loyal following of customers, such that in 1891 (he had already made himself independent) he was in a position to consider purchasing the building which held his workshop from the heirs of the late Herm[an] Eggeling. It could not have happened without the help of friends. Great was the joy when the purchase was successfully closed, for it had been necessary to move quickly and decisively. Now Jakob Akert was certainly not a Schlosser [locksmith] for large projects; he was neither a construction metalworker nor a builder of cash registers, like his colleague Arthur Preiss in the lower Kuttelgasse [Kuttel alley]. Jakob was however always ready to help and was conscientious in carrying out the work of a smaller style entrusted to him. No job, however small, was too small for him, even if some paid poorly as well. On Sunday afternoons, when he believed himself safely off duty, he often found himself called from songs and games with his family to

Zettel is the collective noun for the warp threads on a loom. A Zettlerin may be a woman who tends a mechanical loom. 88 work, for instance to come to the aid of a servant girl who had lost or misplaced a key belonging to her master. This loyalty in small things was a special hallmark of his concept of his trade. As with his brothers and sisters, a love of nature was born in him. Even if he had to be careful with money, he still enjoyed taking his children for long Sunday hikes into the countryside, and summers he took them to one or another beautiful vacation spot. He rarely treated himself to a holiday from his workbench, which perhaps was not so good for him. A quickly-spreading hardening of the arteries combined with dropsy to rob him [p.72] all too early in his life of his strength; on May 23, 1908, he nodded off peacefully into eternity. Jakob Akert was a gently-strung, sensitive-natured soul. He showed a great love for his wife and his five children, whose raising in a Christian spirit was a matter close to his heart. And if all his actions were anchored in a healthy, living faith, this does not mean that his was given to hanging his head or to raving, much the opposite: like his brother Robert, with whom Jakob carried out many a harmless boy’s trick in his youth, Jakob had a healthy sense of humor, which, combined with his love of companionship, made him beloved of all who knew him. It goes without saying that music played a special role in his life. Even after his marriage, he remained loyal to the church choir at St. Anna’s, and he played and sang at home with his family. Our mother was permitted to outlive her husband for a full thirteen years, although they were years in which sorrow and suffering often held the upper hand, as she had a heavy cross to bear as a result of an accident48 suffered in 1903. Steadfast and devoted to God, she bore her physical infirmity until on August 17, 1921, she also was allowed to enter from belief into knowledge. All that Father and Mother meant to their children, well, to tell of it or even just to touch upon it is not the purpose of these pages.

______Heimatliches Zeitbildchen aus der Kuttelgasse

A Vignette of Life in the Kuttelgasse (189649) From ca. 1896, in a Swiss dialect

Dedicated to my beloved brother Ernst on his birthday by his sister Trudi.

Paris, November 25, 1929

"Someone could now call Father up to coffee--let's see, but we first need some bread, let someone go out for it quickly--I wonder if I have enough coin--otherwise we can pay tomorrow--" "Say, what will it be, little Trudi?" Mrs. Herrmann greeted me looking through her glasses as she set down the bread on the shelf behind her. "You should have a four pounder. Unfortunately I haven't any more, child, and not even of yesterday's--better go quick and tell ..." Mother: "That's just another worry for me--as far as I'm concerned, you can bring two crusts--today it makes no difference!" [p.74] Mrs. Herrmann runs a little brush over the crust of each loaf before she gives it out. She separates the one-ers and two-ers in her cash drawer and then she says at the end as always under the door, "Look, wait a little, Trudi. I want you to have a slice of Anniscake."

These pages of remembrances were furnished by the author's sister at his request. The dear old characters of the Kuttlergässler, of whom we are once again fondly reminded in this vignette, are no more, save for one Mrs. Preiss who still at the ripe age of 80 is blessed with a hale and hearty constitution. 91 "Hey, Trudi," Klarli calls after me from the side room while eating her afternoon snack. Will you come down for a while later?" Mother: "I think it's clearing up--the drain pipe is no longer dripping. Perhaps we could have a drink on the roof rather than in the kitchen with all the noise from all sides--over at Schulthesse's they are making a lot of noise, and Mr. Cooper's machine over there..." "We can let down the awnings in case it comes again." "Did somebody call Father?" Mother counts out the cups from behind the cupboard curtain--places them on the tray--"someone's got to carry them up or keep an eye on the milk..." Now comes Father with rolled-up shirt sleeves and his green apron, closing the kitchen window a bit while washing his hands--sets the scraped out milk dish under the pipe in the sink and says: "Okay, let's come so we can go drinking..." All sit together on the roof around the coffee table. "Oh, that is fine bread," says Sari. "Yes, because it's today's," says Father. [In French]: "but eat as much as you want of it...." Mother, looking over the flowers, says: "Just look how the verbena have shot up because of the rain and how all the flugs bloom, and the skabiosa I'm so fond of. In Mannidorf there are bins full of them--next year I will take more cuttings and try to put more larkspur in." "My dear little old lady," Father smiles, "in due time the tubs should be replaced--look here, it's about to fall apart. We need to move the Wireb so not every creature can stare us in the mouth. Just draw down the awning. The young von Löbe girls just sit under our window all day long and..." Mother: "Do you have homework?" "Not much." "I have none," says Sögg. "And then we can play in the street?" "As far as I am concerned, half an hour..." In the stairwell: "Hey, Ernst, Hüber and Dölker are waiting downstairs." [p.75] "Oh, hello, Aunt Lehme -- Mother's on the roof -- Mother, Aunt Lehme is coming. --" Bring up another cup." Meanwhile they had already started to jump rope in the street. Friedli Gischard and little Herrmann swing vigorously. Ella and

92 Marie Isler are both jumping: Salt and pepper. [Chanting] Marti takes Tahitli (Margritli) to Margstahlerli at the Lindehof. I ring at the Besser's home to see if Friedli can come out to play. "No," she says, "she has to practice," and through the salon window the sound continues with the beat. "Everything that's new is made by May, which makes the soul fresh and free..." "Can I jump in?" I say to the others, but Fridi winks slyly -- when I can do that, she'll be mad; in the meantime they quit swinging the rope... In the same moment, Babettli comes with her Deckelhorb [lidded shopping basket], and turns quickly into the house entrance. "Attention, stop, a wagon is coming. A load of kerosene for the Elsingers -- the "Biggie" won't like that, because she prefers to stay under the doorframe. The old Mr. Elsinger is coming this way, he's bringing two arm's full of candy canes...but he first goes into the house entrance and then into the store... Now they are unloading parquet flooring at the Wisse's house. "Klärli has to go in. Ambi, I don't want to help any more." So then we sit in front of Bryner's store. Hermann the baker comes back from his lunchtime stroll, and old Mr. Arnold comes riding by on his horse proudly. Miss Bryner accompanies Mr. Reymond cordially to the door and shortly after he leaves she says to us kids in front of the store: "Do you always have to sit here?" One of these days you're going to break the store window...by golly..." At St. Peter's Church it chimes six o'clock -- Mr. Heder starts packing together his antique rarities. There are a couple of things he doesn't want to put at risk. -- as for example a genuine coral necklace, a couple of better-quality rings, one valuable watch, or another old trunk -- they have no value, but he'd as soon save crumbs. Mrs. Lechleitner with the lornette is waiting at the open door for the zither students. She is chatting a bit with Lerch while he is closing Mr. Preiss's workshop. Mathilde picks up the evening edition of the New Zürich Zeitung from Maid Hoffmann, [p.76] and Mrs. Preiss makes a friendly nod to her neighbors across the alley... The Chroneberg Restaurant has advertised sweet apple juice...immediately Rohr the housepainter and Straub the machinist go in together to have one, and they disappear behind the drape... at the same

93 time an Arnold auto makes its way by noisily--as usual it speeds by like a whirlwind up the Fortuna Alley. The Coopers stroll by majestically -- they make a friendly nod to Father through the peephole in the door. And Max is walking behind them making faces. Mrs. Pfister and Marilie walk by stiffly. Father closes his workshop and the laundry hall. The Lang's store is already closed. Chuttel Alley has its evening time, Chuttel Alley has its rest. ...Later on, in the twilight, young and old sit together once again on the roof. Only then, when the swallows' songs are silenced above in the gables, comes the best time of the day for Akert the Machinist and his wife...when father and mother, weary of the day's burden, talk together happily while resting on the bench. Mrs. Trichtinger on her balcony nosily perks up her ears ... when the bats awaken and fly about the chimney -- then the neighbors will hear happy sounds down in the courtyard; here the Akert children sing: the song of the golden evening sun... It is, sadly, long since--very long since--silenced...

94 Robert Akert 1856-1922 Robert Akert was born on July 1, 1856, the second-youngest child of Melchior Akert and Dorothea Räss. Some of the happiest times of our youth are connected with him and his family. These times take us up to Zollikoner Gstad, where the “Roberts,” as we called them in our family speech, lived at different times, from 1888 to 1889, and then again from 1893 to 1904. Robert completed an apprenticeship in a local hardware store. On February 16, 1882, he entered the silk business [p.77] of Baumann the Elder & Co. on Talgasse in Zürich, where he also met his future wife, Anna Huber from Horgen, who worked there as a Zettlerin. He stayed with the firm until his death in 1922--forty years. Together with his brother Heinrich, he shared the fate of having supervisors who were very strict, and he also soon came to feel the hardness of life. Those were times in which the “old men” [old masters or lords] held power, and they viewed and dealt with the employees, however loyal and conscientious they may have carried out their work, as subservient and lower class. Times have changed since then; dealing with people in the same spirit today is almost unthinkable. In the years 1883–1888, the family lived on Zweierstrasse, No. 33, in Aussersihl, and then moved to Zollikon, where they settled in the “Kienasten” house on the hinteren Gasse [back alley]. Robert’s aunt, Dorothea Peter-Akert, lived here with her stepson Fritz Peter until her death. At the end of the 1880s, Robert Akert was transferred to the firm’s factory in Sulz bei Gebweiler, in Upper Alsace, where the family lived until their return to Switzerland in January 1893. Again, Uncle Robert found his way back to his much-beloved Zollikon. Here his children Hermine, Sophie, and Hedwig spent a good part of their youth, and the attractive little farming village on Lake Zürich became once again a favorite meeting place for city-dwelling family members. Since Uncle Robert was a passionate friend of nature, we city children quickly became more familiar with the beautiful forests of Zollik mountain than

95 with those of closer Mt.Zürich. But even just the area around the house “in Gstad” offered us, palefaces from the city, a great variety of diversions. There was the fountain in front of the house, spouting magnificently and inviting all sorts of funny scenes; the stream which hurried through Gstad to the lake; the little footpath “Chilewegli” [Chile path], closed in with high hedges of hawthorn; the meadows behind and above the house with the healing leaves of the Arone [unknown] and the wonderful smell of violets in the shade of the pear trees; and many other nice places we loved to visit. On days off from school, I often put the path to Zollikon under my feet, and I remember still the delightful feeling that overtook me when, far out in Seefeld, I first spied the symbol of Zollikon, the narrow church steeple, and soon after saw the dear house of my relatives peeking out through the fruit trees. Not much is left from all that was so dear to our hearts and senses then; much has fallen victim to the continual expansion of the community’s boundaries and its housing developments. True, the old house still stands looking the same as ever, but the sounds of the falling stream are heard no longer; it lies buried, and the mulberry trees which budded out so green each spring now have disappeared with their kind. Streets full of houses cut across the Kirchenweg, the church path, and great open areas once planted in meadows and vineyards have yielded to construction. Only the fountain before the house has withstood the storms of time to tell of by-gone joys of youth. In 1904 the family moved again, from Zollikon to a city house on the Weinplatz [wine square], in the house of the well-known cigar dealer Wolfer. From here they moved to the Kirchgasse [church alley] in 1916. The following period was a time of difficult testing for both parents. Robert’s wife fell victim to an increasingly serious depression, from which she never recovered. She died on February 19, 1922. Only six months later, on October 8, 1922, Robert followed her in death. He had visited his youngest daughter, who had married in Lyon, for several weeks to recover his health, but as he neared death, he returned to the city of his fathers. His last wish, to be able to close his eyes forever in his homeland, was granted to him. His ashes rest in the city cemetery. As has already been said, Robert Akert had to serve as an employee under a very strict authority. If in spite of this he managed to

96 hold true to his post and to carry out his duties, it was due to his cheerful nature and his inborn, never-failing sense of humor, which helped him again and again to rise above the unpleasantries of everyday life. One characteristic of Uncle Robert makes his memory especially dear to the writer: [p.79] his love for the traditions of the family. His memory for happy and sad events in our family was almost proverbial, as the saying in our family went: “If you want to know that, you’ll have to ask Uncle Robert. He’ll know for sure.” And so, as the compiler of this family history, I most sincerely regret that it is no longer granted to me to draw water from this, the best fount, as if drawing on a “living chronicle.” From the marriage of

Robert Akert — Anna Huber 1856–1922 1860–1922 came the following children:

Hermine, b. June 1, 1889, in Zürich Sophie, b. June 6, 1884, married Nov. 23, 1911, to Johann Friedrich Widmer, of Küsnacht bei Zürich, b. June 30, 1871, d. Jan. 11, 1927. In Zürich. Norbert und Anna, b. April 8, 1886, d. April 11, 1886. Hedwig, b. Aug. 29, 1893, married Nov. 8, 1917 to Jakob Albert Ammann, businessman, in Lyon, b. Dec. 18, 1888. Children: Robert b. Oct. 20, 1918. Verena b. July 20, 1921. In Saint-Maurice-de-Beynost, near Lyon.[p.80]

97 Conclusion

We have now arrived in the present day in our tour through the history of our family. As a person of the present, to speak about the present-day generation is out of place; may this task be left to a future “historiographer.” If we once more take a look back to the figures and times of the past, we can take pleasure in the fact that, even if our family has no major personalities of history to show off, it can take no less pride in counting an impressive line of solid, loyal and dedicated citizens as our own, people who through honest striving worked their way up from humble beginnings, people who fought the good fight. Praise to those who now and in the future follow faithfully the example of these solid citizens. In the care of and continuance of the civic virtues of our fathers, in the holding on to tradition and to the faith of our ancestors, here lies the well- being of our descendants. May a benevolent fate accompany both the young and the old of those families bound to ours on their paths through life, both at home and abroad, and may they be happy in the promise, “I will carry you into old age and until you become gray.” May God grant this, Amen. Poem On the tree of mankind crowd blossom upon blossom, According to eternal rules they flutter on it; When here one fades and withers, There another springs up full and beautiful; An eternal coming and an eternal passing And now and never an inactive stillstand, We see them come out, we see them fall, And their fate rests in the hand of God.

Büchel, Canon and Pastor in Triesen, 1902 edition, page 175. “It was on the basis of this decision that, ninety years later (30 April 1584), Count Karl Ludwig of Sulz-Vaduz decided the renewed conflict regarding grazing on the meadows and the “Akerts.” The border was drawn in the direction of Eichholztobel etc.... “Concerning the “Akeret”, both communities should divide honestly the beech and oak trees, wild plums, and hedges that grow along the named borders. Finally, it was recommended to the inhabitants of Triesen that the Fron woods be better fenced in. “(“Akertt” and “Akeret” are set in quotation marks in the book, obviously as words that appear somewhat foreign.)” [Translator’s note: Akert here seems to refer not to a family name but rather to “Acker,” originally a word designating fields and meadows, now used generally only for cultivated fields.] Newspaper clipping Tages-Anzeiger für Stadt und Kanton Zürich (Daily Gazette for the City and Canton of Zürich), Friday, 14 September 1951. “Three valuable pictures stolen. ag. Three pictures have been stolen from the small chapel of Saint Apollinus near Freiburg, which dates to the 11th century. The pictures taken are: “The Baptism of Christ,” the “Appearance of the Virgin to Saint Benoit,” and “Guillame de Glâne (William of Glâne)”, the founder of the neighboring abbey of Hauterive. The paintings carry the name of the German painter Akert who lived in the 17th century. The burglars left no traces. They had forced open the entrance door to the chapel. The police are of the opinion that the theft could be connected with the disappearance of various paintings from French museums. Those responsible for these thefts have not yet been arrested.”

99 BRANCHES OVER THE WALL

The Akert Family in America

by Kenneth R. Allen (1995)

100 101 Hans Heinrich Akert 1836-1907 by Kenneth R. Allen

Hans Heinrich Akert (1836-1907) was the twelfth child of Hans Konrad Akert and Anna Blümle. Hans had thirteen siblings, eleven of whom lived to maturity. While little was known of his early life in Switzerland, a few things are known of his physical characteristics. He was between 5'4" and 5'5" tall and weighed 122 lbs. His eyes were hazel, and his hair was brown. Over his right eye and cheek he bore a deep scar. (All known photographs of him show only a left profile.) According to the style of the day he wore a full beard. By occupation he was a musician. He was skilled on several musical instruments especially the tuba and the bass violin. When not working as a musician, he found work as a carpenter or as a general laborer, and he worked at the smelter in Murray, Utah. On 6 June 1864 Hans married 18-year old Lina Näf of Glattfelden by the Reverend Schoch in the Protestant Church in Schlieren, Switzerland. They had two children, Elisabeth and Hans. In Zürich, Hans worked as a liveryman [Fuhrhalter]. After disappointments in this business and the accidental death of their first child Elisabeth in a bathing accident, John and Lina Akert emigrated to America in 1865, where they first settled in Evansville, Indiana. On 16 March 1870, in St. Louis, Missouri, Hans (aka John Henry Akert, Sr.) enlisted for a five-year tour of duty in the United States Cavalry. At that time the U.S. Government was engaged in an extended campaign to gain control of the territories between California and Missouri, and the transcontinental railroad had been completed the previous year. John was first assigned to Troop G of the Seventh Regiment, but within a month he was transferred to the Regimental Band of the Seventh Cavalry. He first served under General Sturgis at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. In 1873, not long after his father had joined up with the 7th

102 Cavalry in Louisville, Kentucky, Brigadier General George Armstrong Custer, a Civil War hero and already well-known soldier and potential candidate for the U.S. Presidency, received orders from Washington to pull up stakes and transfer his entire regiment to Fort Abraham Lincoln in the northern part of Dakota, a few miles south of Bismarck, on the banks of the Missouri River. At that time Bismarck, which was to become the capital of North Dakota, was nothing more than a shanty town on the Indian frontier. John's family traveled with him to Fort Lincoln. Lina Akert found favor with General Custer and washed and ironed Custer's shirts. John as well as the other soldiers disliked Custer's strict and sometimes cruel ways, and he did not always find favor with Custer. He once felt the wrath of Custer's temper when his horse stepped in a hole and stumbled, knocking his tuba to the ground and denting it. For punishment, he was strung up to a tree and hung from his toes. General Custer was intensely disliked by the Indians. John was with Custer when Sitting Bull shouted across a river to Custer that he would "cut his heart out" before a year had passed. Happily, John's enlistment ended 16 March 1875 at Fort Lincoln. He returned to Louisville and civilian life in April 1875 with his wife and son. For a while, the family lived in Elizabethtown. Finding no satisfactory work, John took his family back to Louisville, Kentucky. That same year word came that on 25 June 1876, General Custer, his younger brother and 263 other men had died in battle on the Little Big Horn River in Montana. Lina, evidently dissatisfied with the living conditions divorced John on 25 August 1876. In June 1877, Lina left John and their child in Louisville, traveling first to Buffalo, New York. In August 1877, she called for John, Jr., to join her and to return to Switzerland. Lina left John, Jr. in Switzerland and returned to New York, so arrangements were made for twelve-year-old John, Jr. to stay with his aunt Dorothea Akert Peter. In the meantime, John, Sr. reenlisted in the U.S. Army (at New York City 4 November 1878), this time joining the Fourteenth U.S. Infantry. Within a month of this enlistment, John Sr. was once again in the Regimental Band, and the Fourteenth Infantry was sent to the frontier of Wyoming Territory, where it remained until 1883. In early 1883, the

103 regiment, under the command of Col. J.C. Smith, was transferred to Fort Douglas just east of Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, so John sent for his son John. There among the Swiss immigrants who had joined the Mormons, he found fellowship, and on 6 September 1883 he was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Two months later John was honorably discharged from the army at Fort Sidney (or Sanders), Nebraska. John Henry became an elder and local lay leader in the Church. In Salt Lake John met twenty-three year-old Caroline Stadler Steiner Kunz who had been born in Escholzmatt, Luzern Canton, in the Emmenthal (Emment Valley) of Switzerland. They were married 3 April 1884 in a Mormon Church ceremony in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City. Caroline's mother Katherine Zemp Kunz, who was a year younger than John, lived with the family, but was married in 1884 to John Kunz, a prominent elderly Swiss gentleman, in a plural marriage church sealing in Logan, Utah, although during periods of her daughter's illnesses and after the abolition of plural marriage in Utah territory. In 1892, Caroline was sealed as a daughter in a church adoption in Logan, Utah to John Kunz and Katherine Zemp (sic. Cemp in the Church records). Caroline bore John eleven children between 1885 and 1898, five of whom died in infancy, likely from poor sanitation conditions such as milk-borne diseases called "summer complaint." They were Adam Isaac, Benjamin, Jared, Esther and Olga Ruth. The remaining six children, Eva, Sarah ("Helen"), Ruben Ephraim ("Ted"), Hulda Caroline ("Tullie"), Ethel Olga and Evelyn Isa, all lived long and rewarding lives and married. The women raised families in the Salt Lake City area, while Ted settled in Los Angeles, California, married, but had no children, and pursued a career as a chemist. John did not hesitate to answer the call of the Church to serve as a voluntary missionary to his native Switzerland, notwithstanding the challenge for his second family to support him and themselves. On 8 April 1890, John was ordained a Seventy by Elder Francis M. Lyman of the Council of Twelve Apostles and thereafter left his young family and expecting wife to serve for two years in Switzerland. Caroline knit socks

104 and stockings, while Katherine sold them to live on and to support John on his mission. His daughter Tullie was born while he was on his mission. Grandmother Zemp-Kunz came to live with the family shortly after John Kunz's death in February 1890, making it possible for John to serve his mission. During his mission, John met with his Swiss family and gathered information from the family records and the Zürich city archives about his deceased ancestors in response the Church's admonition that every member should trace their ancestry. After his return from Switzerland, daughter Ruth was born and died in October 1896, which made a lasting impression on the children, including Tullie. Shortly thereafter the family moved to Murray, Utah, smelter town just south of Salt Lake City in the Great Salt Lake Valley. It was here that Ethel and Evelyn were born. John worked in the smelter to support the family. He was also a much sought after musician. He walked or rode his bicycle through all kinds of weather carrying his cumbersome instruments to entertain people of Salt Lake Valley at dances. On 29 March 1902 after an extended illness, Caroline died while in a hospital in Provo, Utah, forty miles south of Murray. Since Caroline's mother had married again and moved to Underwood, Washington State, John was left alone to care for six young children. John tried to keep the family together but finally decided it would be best to place the children with foster parents in the community. Eva married Frederick Rock two weeks after her mother's death. Ted went to live with the Stevenson family to help them on their farm. Helen was taken in by Mr. & Mrs. William Scott. Tullie was taken in by Mr. & Mrs. George Brown, where she could help take care of their two younger children. Ethel was taken in and raised by Cyrus and Grace Ann Boyce Neff of 1200 East and 4500 South in the Mill Creek area, east of Murray. Evelyn was taken care of by the Neffs and several other families. Father John felt that the young children should not be given up for adoption. (At age 21, Ethel was legally adopted by the Neffs so she could inherit their property.) Even though the family was scattered around the southeast valley, everyone kept in touch with each other and their aging father, who lived alone.

105 John remained true to his callings in The Church. On 20 January 1907, President George Wooley ordained John to the office of High Priest when he received increased responsibilities in The Church. Sunday, 15 September 1907 began as a typical Sabbath day for seventy-three-year-old John Henry Akert. In the morning he attended the service of the German-speaking congregation in in downtown Salt Lake City. Afterwards he attended the afternoon service in the Tabernacle, where he often sang as a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. At the conclusion of the afternoon meeting he walked home. Feeling somewhat ill, however, he lay down to rest. That afternoon, John Henry Akert died peacefully in his sleep. ______Murray Eagle September 18, 1907 FUNERAL OF JOHN H. AKERT Large Attendance of Sorrowing Friends At Last, Sad Rites The funeral of John H. Akert was held today at noon, in the Twelfth Ward meetinghouse, where a large attendance of sorrowing friends , a profusion of floral tributes and local music by a quartet signalized the service. Bishop Williams presided, the invocation was offered by Elder R. E. Nelson, and the speakers were the bishop, and Elders Schulthess, John Keddington, Herman Greter and R.T.

106 The Life of John Henry Akert, Jr. 1865-1947 by Kenneth R. Allen (1993)

John Henry Akert, Jr., was born 10 Dec 1865 in Aussersihl, now part of Zürich, Switzerland, to Hans Heinrich (John Henry) Akert (1836- 1907) of Aussersihl and Lina Näf (1845-1895) of Glattfelden, Switzerland. He was the second child of this marriage, his elder sister Lina Elizabeth, born 11 September 1864, having died from accidental drowning 8 May 1865. His father was a liveryman in Switzerland, but he fell into bankruptcy and decided to seek his fortunes in America. John Sr. came to America in 1865, and his wife and son John Jr. followed in 1866. The family first settled in Evansville, Indiana. However, on 16 March 1870, his father joined the U.S. Army at St. Louis, Missouri. Within a month, his father was assigned to the Regimental Band of the Seventh Cavalry. John Jr., his father and his mother arrived at Taylor Barracks in Louisville, Kentucky in April 1870. He never dreamed that he would be drawn into various adventures during the five years of his father's military service. In fact, he never anticipated any hardships, and when they did come, as he said, "I was never entirely concerned, never worried or showed a sign of fright. Why should a boy at my age be concerned about the daily hardships, as long as I didn't have to starve?" His father first served under General Sturgis at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. In 1873, not long after his father had joined up with the 7th Cavalry in Louisville, Kentucky, General Custer received orders from Washington to pull up stakes and transfer his entire regiment to Fort Abraham Lincoln in the northern part of Dakota, a few miles south of Bismarck, on the banks of the Missouri River. At that time Bismarck, which was to become the capital of North Dakota, was nothing more than a shanty town on the Indian frontier. John vividly remembered the

107 expedition of 1872-1873, relating them in his own words in his autobiographical sketch many years later: "The journey from Louisville to Fort Lincoln, if I'd live a thousand years, will never fade out of my mind. Custer's whole regiment of cavalry 500 strong embarked on a steamboat on the Ohio river, floating to the Mississippi junction, then from there up the Mississippi to the Missouri to Yanktown, South Dakota. I can see the gang of darkies refueling the steamers with cord wood at various fueling stations along the rivers. The old gang plank would sway in rhythm by the weight of those colored boys trotting up and down with two or three sticks of cord wood on their shoulder, all in step to a southern song. "Disembarking at Yanktown, we were transferred to government wagons propelled by mules, when orders were sounded to hit the trail for Fort Lincoln, which was a strenuous 500 miles away. Of course the wagon train couldn't be rushed, so we just moseyed along the best we could, over prairies and rolling hills. Once we got in a prairie fire, but quick hands saved us from it. The old trail led us over Fort Yates and Fort Rice. When we finally reached our destination, we were very near worn out. Besides my mother, there were a score of other women and children, and believe me, they were pretty well fatigued out, inasmuch as there had been Indian trouble. That was the reason General Custer had been ordered to come up here, to settle Indian hostilities."

John Jr. heard many stories of Indian skirmishes from his father and his father's and mother's friends and may well have witnessed a few hostilities near his home at Fort Lincoln. His father's enlistment ended 16 March 1875 at Fort Lincoln. The family returned to Louisville and civilian life in April 1875. For a while, John Jr. and his parents lived in Elizabethtown. His father, finding no satisfactory work, took his family back to Louisville, Kentucky, where in summer 1876 they received word that on 25 June 1876, General Custer and the entire Seventh Cavalry had died in battle on the Little Big Horn River in Montana. John lived together with his parents for the last time in Louisville. While reportedly living in Louisville, John narrowly escaped kidnapping by an Indian squaw. The Indian had laid in wait for him as he traveled by wagon to a store for supplies. His mother Lina, evidently dissatisfied with the living conditions

108 reportedly divorced his father on 25 August 1876. In June 1877, his mother left Louisville, traveling first to Buffalo, New York. In August 1877, she called for John to join her and to return to Switzerland. John, in November 1877, shortly before he turned twelve, left New York with his mother for Europe on the Labrador Steamer, disembarking at Le Havre, France. On 10 December 1877 John and his mother arrived in Switzerland, where his first home was at his mother's parents' house near Zürich. However, his mother felt the pull of America. After six months his mother disappeared to America, and his grandparents, unable to take care of him, left him at the mercy of his father's sisters. As he related this traumatic time: "Then began my homeless days. Eventually I was taken care of by my father's sister Dorothea [Peter (b. 1825)], who took pity on me." He remained with her until he left to return to America in May 1883 to rejoin his father. In the meantime, his father had reenlisted in the U.S. Army (at New York City 4 November 1878), this time joining the Fourteenth U.S. Infantry. Within a month of this enlistment his father was once again in the Regimental Band, and the Fourteenth Infantry was sent to the frontier of Wyoming Territory. In early 1883, his father's regiment was transferred to Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, so his father sent for John. Traveling with a Mormon company including the Arnold Shulthess family, John reached Salt Lake City on the 4th of June 1883. He was then taken in by the Shulthess family, as there were no facilities for a seventeen year-old boy and his father at nearby Fort Douglas. In Salt Lake City, both he and his father found fellowship with the Swiss Mormons. John Sr. married Caroline Steiner Kunz of Escholzmatt, Lucern, Switzerland, in Salt Lake City 3 April 1884. On 7 September 1892 in the Logan LDS Temple, John Jr. married Anna Struhs (born 5 April 1875) of Solothurn, Switzerland, daughter of John Henry Struhs and Elizabeth Saner, and together they raised eight children in Salt Lake City. John's mother Lina reportedly died in New York City in November 1895. His stepmother Caroline, following many years of illness, died 29 March 1902 in a hospital in Provo, Utah, and the children

109 remaining at home were cared for by friends, as the family could not provide and care for itself. John Sr. passed away 15 September 1907 in Murray, Utah, leaving two young children, in addition to John Jr. and four other children who could care for themselves. John Jr. and Anna had the following children:

Arnold Herman Akert (21 June 1893-20 Jan 1981 in Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada, married Isabella Burns 7 September 1925 in Cordova, Alaska); Mary Akert (18 November 1894-20 March 1971, married James Warren Gilbert 19 June 1918 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple); Walter John Akert (19 July 1898-25 March 1980, married Gertrude Couch 21 May 1927 in Hurley, New Mexico); William Henry Akert (20 Oct 1900-30 March 1973 in Reno, Nevada, married Bluma Bergman 7 Feb 1926 in San Bernardino, California); Martha Anna Akert (15 March 1902-6 January 1956, married Harry K. Keddington 21 March 1922 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple); Ruth Akert (25 December 1907- August 1986, married Kenneth M. Gerrard 19 June 1934 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple); Ethel Elizabeth Akert (7 May 1913- , married first Paul E. Margetts 24 September 1941 (deceased), married second Toby Gorringe, living in West Valley City, Utah 1993); and John Henry Akert (23 April 1915-19 Nov 1971, married Ardella Green 16 March 1934 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple).

In 1895, five years after his father had served a mission to Switzerland, John Jr. was also called to serve a voluntary mission for the LDS Church in Switzerland. He departed from Salt Lake City on 12 October 1895 in a company of twenty-nine Elders and arrived by steamer at Liverpool, England 1 November 1895. John H. Akert was appointed secretary to the company of Elders traveling together at the time. His articulate and detailed report of the journey appeared in a Letter to the

110 Editor of the Deseret News on 15 November 1895. He returned to Salt Lake City after about two and one-half years of service. John became renowned as an landscape artist and watercolorist, leaving many paintings to his family. Some of his murals hang in ward buildings near his Salt Lake home. For fifty-one years from 1891 to 1941, he was employed by the ZCMI Department Store, primarily in the capacity of warehouse shipping clerk. He lived in the Princeton Ward of Salt Lake City until his death. He passed away 16 January 1947 in Salt Lake City of a heart ailment. His wife followed him in death 14 April 1957.

111 RECOLECTIONS OF THE FIRST 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE by John Henry Akert Jr. (1865-1947)

When I began to enjoy life in my tender years, I very often stopped to think about one thing and another. Having no brothers or sisters, just my parents. Playmates were as scarce as hens teeth in my neighborhood, which was the Taylor barraks in Louisville Kentuckey. You may wonder what I was doing there, well I will tell you, how I came to be there, I was just in my 5th year, when Dad enlisted in the 7th Cavalry of the U.S. Army under the command of General G.A. Custer, the notorious Indian fighter. This soldier life, in which I was drug along, began in April 1870 at the age of 5 years, now in this early stage of life. I never dreamt that I would be drawn into various adventures, during the five years of my Dads service under Gen. Custer infact I never anticipated any hardships to come across my path, and when they did come, I was never intirely concerned, never worried of [or] showed a sign of fright, why should a boy at my age be concerned about the daily hardships, as long as I didn't have to starve. Not long after Dad was lined up in the 7th Cavalry, in Louisville Kentucky Gen. Custer received orders to pull up stakes, from Washington, and leave at once for Fort Lincoln in the northern part of Dakota, a few miles south of Bismark (which now is the capital of North Dakota, and in them days of 1872 was nothing more than a Shantytown. Of course the Dakotas was one territory. Very frequently in my advanced years my thoughts become centered on my experiences when I was knee high to a grasshopper. The journey from Louisville to Fort Lincoln, if I'd live a thousand years, would never fade out of my mind. Custers whole reg. of cavalry 500 strong imbarked on a Steamboat on the Ohio river, floating to the Mississippi junction, then from there up the Mississippi to the Missouri to Yanktown, So. Dakota, I can see the gang

112 of darkies refueling the Steamers with Cord wood at various fueling stations along the rivers the old gang plank would sway in rythem by the weight of those colored boys trotting up and down with two or three sticks of cord wood on there shoulder, all in step to a southern song. Disimbarking at Yanktown, we were transfered to government wagons propeled by mules, when orders were sounded to hit the trail for Fort Lincoln, which was a strainious 500 miles, of course the wagon train couldn't be rushed, so we just mosied along the best we could, over prarries and rolling hills, once we got in a prarry fire, but quick hands saved us from it. The old trail led us over Fort Yates and Fort Rice when we finally reached our destination, very near worn out. Besides my mother their were a score of other women and children and beleave me they were pretty well fagued out, in as much that there had been Indian trouble was the reason of Gen. Custer been ordered to come up here to settle Indian hostilities.

DESERET EVENING NEWS Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 15, 1895 From Salt Lake to Liverpool LIVERPOOL, NOV. 1, 1895.

To the Editor: Perhaps a few lines from this quarter of the globe will be accepted by you, and read with interest by a great number of your and our friends in the fair Territory of Utah. We are a company of Elders that have left our homes and gone to the different nations of the earth, via Liverpool, and we though a brief synopsis of our travels in the form of a condensed report would be very acceptable by our much loved paper, and kindly ask that you give space to the following in your valuable columns. There are twenty-nine of us Elders in the company that left Salt Lake City, October 12, 1895. We traveled at first by different roads but we all met at Chicago, where we had the opportunity to view some of the more important buildings, such as the Masonic Temple, twenty-one stories high, and other magnificent structures,. From there we all traveled together to Buffalo, arriving in the morning, and as our train for Philadelphia did not leave until evening we spent the day visiting Niagara Falls, which of course was the sight of a lifetime for us. We took the opportunity, by paying a toll of 15 cents, to cross the new suspension bridge over to the Canadian side, and returning to Buffalo, we took train for Philadelphia. We remained there from noon, Oct. 17, until Oct. 19, during which time we took in some of the important sights, such as Wm. Penn’s monument, Grant’s and Jefferson’s statues, and many others. While here we caused some little newspaper comment, owing to our being in such a large company; perhaps if we, like the deciples of old, had travelled in twos and threes we would have escaped this notoriety.

114 Saturday morning, Oct. 19 at 10 a.m. the steamer Waesland set sail from Philadelphia, but owing to shallow water we were 48 hours clearing the Delaware b, a distance of about 90 miles, having been assisted by seven small steam tugs. We had smooth sailing until Wednesday evening, Oct. 23, when the waves began rolling high, causing many of us unpleasant feelings. However, by Sunday, Oct. 27th, we were all fairly well again. As there were so many of us on board, we thought it wisdom to meet together, and through the kindness of the chief steward, we were given the use of a very nice room suitable for the purpose, the courtesy being much appreciated. Here we met an hour morning and night, and bore our testimonies; and as some of the passengers on board had expressed a desire to attend our meetings, an invitation was extended to all, and (with the assistance of Brother Birchell, of Nephi, who was along with us) the first principles of the Gospel were explained, and a good time in general was enjoyed by all. As a little band of brethren travelling together we formed ties of friendship never to be forgotten. Our meetings on board the vessel were brought to a close with a general testimony assembly. We landed in Liverpool on Friday, Nov. 1st, 1895, and were transferred from the large steamer on to a smaller one, which landed us safely at the Liverpool docks. We met there Brother John B. Burrows from the headquarters, who escorted us up to the office. During the day business was transacted in regard to the setting apart of the Elders to Great Britain and receiving good instructions from Apostle A.H. Lund; then we all departed to our different lands, our different fields of labor. The request of the company in general is that I give you their best regards and love, I being appointed secretary of the journey. JOHN H. AKERT

115 FAMILY HISTORY AND FOND MEMORIES OF MY EARLY LIFE by Hulda Davis [Hulda Caroline "Tullie" Akert Davis] December 1973

My father and mother were born in Switzerland. They came to Utah to become Mormons and live with those who believed as they did in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My father John Henry Akert was born near Zürich and came to Utah as a soldier in the U.S. Army. My mother Caroline Stadler Steiner and my grandmother [Katharine Zemp] came from Escholzmatt, Canton Lucern in Switzerland. My grandmother's family had converted to the Mormon Church. Father and Mother were married in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City in 1884. I was the sixth child. I was born in 1890 while my father was serving as a missionary in Switzerland. We lived in very humble circumstances at that time. Grandmother lived with us and helped care for us. Mamma had learned the art of knitting socks of wool on knitting machines. In order to support Father on his mission and to feed the family, she knit warm woolen socks and stockings on her two knitting machines. Warm socks were very much in demand in our cold winters. It seems my earliest memory is the return of Father from his mission in Switzerland. We were a very happy humble family. We had a loving father,a kind pretty mother and a sweet religious grandmother. Our mother had beautiful blue eyes and dark hair, but none of us children were blessed with blue eyes. Father had big back eyes and wore a beard and a mustache. He was very good looking. I remember he told me that when he was walking home in the deep snow from playing at the dances,his beard would become covered with icicles. I told him to be sure to awaken me when he got home so I could make sure he wasn't fooling me. I was very much a loved child by him and by my grandmother.

116 The other children called me Grandma's Pet, because she took me everywhere she went--to visit friends or to the Swiss meetings in the Assembly Hall and in the Tabernacle. Perhaps the reason I got so much attention was because I was unfortunate enough to have one dark brown eye and one light brown eye! But I loved my grandmother. I always sept with her, and I loved her feather bed and her down quilt on top. My dear grandmother taught us well in our childhood. She taught me to pay my tithing, which I never failed to do -- 10 cents out of every dollar I earned. I can remember when I was about 10 years old, helping my father dig and pile up big blue potatoes in John James potato patch. I earned forty cents a day, @2.40 a week. On Saturday when I was paid I was so thrilled to be able to pay tithing that I ran two blocks to Brother Richardson's house to pay him the twenty five cents. Grandmother also taught us to pray night and morning and whenever we were troubled about anything. She told us that prayer moves mountains and that God moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform. My prayers have certainly been answered many times when I was deserving. When our family was all together, we had family prayer each morning before breakfast and each night after dinner, and each evening Grandmother would read to us. After dinner Grandmother would lay out her big picture bible on our long table and tell us a story. Then Ruben and I would place the chairs in a half circle for evening prayers. These were our fondest childhood memories. I can remember when we lived near the Fisher Brewery on Second South near ninth West. I was about six years old. I remember that our baby sister Ruth died there. One night Grandmother awakened us five children and told us to come to see the baby in her cradle. She told us that the baby was going to Heaven. Several days later, in our big front room we held her funeral. During the funeral my half brother John Akert lifted me up to see her in the casket. She looked like a little doll dressed in white. Pinned on her little dress was a little spray of lilies of the valley. Ever since I have been fond of those dainty flowers. After the ceremony, the little casket was placed on Mamma's and Papa's lap in a horse-drawn carriage. I sat in the middle as we drove to the Salt Lake City Cemetery. Now there was only my half brother John, my oldest

117 sister Eva, Sarah, Ruben and myself. All of our other brothers and sisters were buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery: Adam, Benjamin, Jared, Esther and Ruth. Soon after Ruth's death we moved to Murray, a thriving little town about twenty miles south of Salt Lake City. Father found work there in the smelter. We lived in several different places in Murray. One place was on Germania Street, a pleasant street lined with tall poplar trees leading toward the smelter. Now, more than fifty years later the street has been cut off by the slag dump. Slag dumping was a beautiful sight to watch. We would always take our friends and visitors around the side of the house to see this beautiful sight. The red molten slag would light up the whole sky and the neighborhood for several minutes as it was dumped. Ours was a big family to cook and sew and care for. But we were all taught to scrub and clean and work hard to do our part. Across the street from our house was an apple orchard. My brother Ruben and I would pick up apples from the ground and take them home for Grandmother to peal and slice for drying and preserving. We also helped prepare other preserves including pears, stoned plums and prunes. We would dry them by placing them in the hot sun on boards covered with mosquito bar material. If we had nothing better to do, we would shoo of the flies with a stick which had strips of paper tied on the end. We had a good cow Nellie, which kept us in good milk and butter. Mother milked Nellie, and while she did I shooed away the flies with the fly stick. Otherwise Nellie would swish her tail and kick while mother milked. Mother curried her and kept her clean and pretty. One day we had to sell Nellie. But the next day Nellie was back, standing at the barn door. So we decided to keep her after all. We also had several pretty dogs, chickens and a big yard to play in. We had a big swing strung between two big poplar trees in the front year. In the back year we had a teeter totter and a whirley gig. Father wanted us to stay home to play in out own yard, so he made us all these things to enjoy at home. When I was eight years old I was baptized, like Sarah and Ruben, in the cold waters of the Cottonwood River. It was not hard to remember such an occasion.

118 I liked school and got as far as the eighth grade. We attended school--and Sunday School--in our old school house west of the railroad tracks, about two or three miles away. The school children all walked a great distance to school, but most people enjoyed walking just about anywhere. The other girls didn't get much schooling, much to their regret today. There was always something else to do, such as helping out on Wash Day. It was easy to get excused from school. All you needed to do was to say that you felt sick. We had no electricity or any appliances or heating. When it was dark we either carried lit candles or coal oil lamps. For safety, we only used lanterns in the barn, where we kept and fed our cow and horse. Our heat came from a coal stove in the kitchen. Besides using it for cooking, we dressed near it and stood close to it to get warm. We made toast by removing one of the four stove plates and holding the bread near the hot coals until the bread was brown. Sometimes our hands and fingers got toasted too! We carried wash water from a creek which ran behind our house. In order to wash the laundry, Grandmother heated the water in a big ten-gallon wash boiler on the stove. Then she scrubbed the clothes on a wash board in a large basin of soapy water. Stoves were later improved to have built-in boilers. However, they had to be kept filled with water all the time. Our drinking water came from a flowing well about a quarter mile form the house. We would fetch one or two buckets full at a time. The bucket was placed on a stand or a big table in the kitchen. To drink we shared a big dipper or a family drinking cup. At school there was a pump, so if we pumped hard enough we could get a cup of water. Plumbing was also primitive. Our toilets were usually two-hole out houses, but we kept it clean. Ruben and I used to scrub the out house with soap and water until it was a clean and as fresh as a piece of white paper. When the hole was full, Papa would dig a new hole and cover up the old one and move the old out house. Things in those days were not very sanitary compared to more modern times. Grocery stores did not package the food and there were flies and diseases everywhere. Some families were wiped out in a week by flu or typhoid. We had few medicines or laxatives other than syrup of figs, castor oil and saltz, and they were all terrible.

119 In those days there was a street car pulled by two donkeys. I hardly remember where it started or where it went. Most people walked miles and miles in those days. I remember that Papa walked from Murray to Salt Lake City to work. We had bicycles in those days, too. Only the more prosperous people had a horse and buggy. Father was an accomplished musician. He played almost every kind of wind instrument, as well as the violin and the bass fiddle. He used to walk miles to play his fiddle or violin for dances in the Church meetinghouses in Taylorsville, Sandy and Cottonwood. Father loved music. I remember when Mamma was expecting Ethel. There were no doctors to deliver children in those days. I always wondered when the midwife would bring the baby and deliver it. When she drove up in her buggy with her pretty horse and carrying her satchel, I would run out to ask her if she had the baby in the satchel. She said no, but that she might have it the next time she came. One day, after the midwife left, Grandma called me into Mamma's bedroom, and there was Mamma in bed with Ethel in her arms. About eighteen months later, the midwife came to visit again. She drove up in the same horse and buggy, and again I asked her if she was going to bring another baby in her satchel. While she was with Mamma, Eva and I took her horse and buggy for a ride though the streets of Murray. Eva was sixteen years old and sort of wild. She loved horses and fun and excitement. She often dressed up in a long skirt and her fashionable black duffy to ride through town. She used to ride bare back, side saddle, any way she could. It didn't matter. She loved to ride horses. After we had ridden through Murray, we returned home to find the midwife standing in the door, awaiting our return. She had just delivered Evelyn. When Evelyn our baby sister was about four years old, Mamma died. She was forty-two years old and had been ill for a long time. She had had trouble with varicose veins for many years. We were left without a mother or grandmother. Grandmother had remarried and moved to Underwood, Washington. Father and we children tried to keep house and live together without Mamma, but it was very difficult to take her place.

120 We had many very nice friends. The Stevenson family offered to take in Ruben, who could help them on their farm. Mr. & Mrs. George Brown invited me to live with them so I could care for their two small children. Ethel was taken in by Mr. & Mrs. Cyrus Neff of Mill Creek. Evelyn lived in several different homes because Father did not want to let her out for adoption. sarah moved to town to work for Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Scott, who were very nice people. Right after Mamma's death, Eva got married. Although we were all scattered we managed to stay close and keep in touch. In 1907, five years after Mamma's death, Papa died. We were all taken care of by friends until we were old enough to care for our selves. Ethel was adopted by the Neffs. I moved to Salt Lake to work. Then I went to McGill, Nevada to nurse my eldest sister Eva after her daughter Virginia was born in 1909. I remained in McGill, where I found work in the Staff, a very exclusive boarding house where only the office force of the McGill Smelter Company ate. As a waitress I served Mr. Guggenheim and Mr. Jacklin, the mine owners, where their private train brought them to town to look over their many mines. My Sweet Heart Days were spent in McGill. Our little Ward was well supported by people of all faiths. Bishop Little, with much support, guided the construction of a small church building. I also taught a class in Sunday School. I also loved to play ball. There were two women;s ball teams in town, upper town site and lower town site. I played shortstop. Even so I was a beautiful young girl who had many proposal and many suitors. Among the mining staff, I met the man I wanted to marry: John Andrew Davis. Jack had dark hair and black eyes. He was full of life, and we both loved to dance. We certainly did our share while we were in Nevada. The dances were held in a lovely new school house. Only the nicest people in town attended these dances. There was no drinking or rowdiness. We enjoyed the finest music in town, including a fine old violin. Jack and I certainly enjoyed those lovely days in Nevada... . ______

122 ETHEL OLGA AKERT NEFF SMITH MIDGLEY 1897-1990 by Ethel S. Midgley Mary Grace Smith Allen Wade and Kenneth R. Allen

This is the life of Ethel Olga Akert, the daughter of humble Swiss immigrant converts to the Mormon Church, John Henry Akert (1836- 1907) and Caroline Stadler Steiner Kunz (1860-1902), who was adopted by Mormon Pioneer foster parents, Cyrus Neff and Grace Ann Boyce, and who was companion for eternity of Edwin Woodruff Smith (1897- 1960) and companion for time of Thomas Cordon Midgley (1899-1985). She was matriarch of a family of over one hundred and sixty descendants. Her life bridged two centuries, ten decades and eight generations. She knew frontier pioneers and astronauts, her grandparents and her great- great grandchildren. Ethel was born Thanksgiving Day, November 30, 1897, in Murray, Salt Lake County, Utah, the tenth of eleven children of John Henry and Caroline Akert. Caroline, her mother Katharina (Catherine) Zemp and twin brother Peter Zemp, had converted to the Mormon Church in the Emmenthal Branch of the Church in Switzerland and emigrated in the late 1870's to join the gathering community of Swiss Saints in the Salt Lake Valley. Grandma Catherine was a member of the Akert household until shortly before Caroline's death in 1902. Ethel was 4-1/2 and younger sister Evelyn was just 3 when their mother died. Ethel's only memory of her mother was sitting on her mother's sickbed as her mother fed her bits of sugar. The older children, Eva, Sarah (or Helen), Ruben (or Ted), and

123 Hulda (or Tullie) could not help their father enough to keep the family together following their mother's death. Their father's meager income as a worker at the Murray smelter and as a musician was not enough to hire help. So the older children were placed with friends in and near Murray, where they worked for room and board. Ethel was the most fortunate of all the children. At the age of six, she and Evelyn were taken in by a childless Rhoda Gaffain and then a few months later by Rhoda's mother's half sister, Grace Ann Boyce and her husband Cyrus Neff of the Mill Creek area east of Murray. The Neff's had a modest farm with a home at 1148 East 45th South in Mill Creek. Ethel, though homesick for her own family, prospered from the love in the Neff's home until adulthood. Her father visited as often as he could until his death one peaceful Sunday afternoon, 15 September 1907. The Neff home was a child's delight. Petite, blue-eyed Ethel (who as an adult was about 4'10" tall) played often with Mother Neff's sister's children, Erma and Elva Miller, who lived across the street. An old granary behind the Neff home became their play house. It was a time of fun and dreams. Ethel recalled those times:

Erma always wanted me to go to the dances with her--so I'd play paper dolls with Elva and go to the dance with Erma and her beaus until I got beaus of my own. I loved dancing and had lots of dates. Mother and Father Neff never objected to my social life. They always trusted me and I loved them for it. I always had lovely clothes and everyone said I looked like a doll, but I never was haughty or conceited. Erma introduced me to her husband's older brother and I went with him for months. He wanted me to marry him, but I was going to Granite High School. I had met Ed Smith [Edwin Woodruff Smith 2 Mar 1897-7 Nov 1960), a star basketball and football player, the handsomest boy in school. Although he was going with another girl, Lyle Smith, I wanted to get to know him. One day as I was coming from Liberty Park with the horse and surrey I stopped at the Albert Smith's Store [his father was the owner and a prominent butcher] at 17th South State Street to say hello. He couldn't take time to talk to me. That night he came out in his brother George's Ford and stayed for a nice visit. From then on I was deeply in love. I mean Real Love. He invited me to his home, and the Smiths treated me nice. I knew his sister Florence at high school and loved her also. They were all wonderful, gracious people. Mother Smith [Mary Ann Storton] was

124 a very quiet, deep. person, and I know she was wondering about my parentage and background, but she soon accepted me. Our courtship was about 9 months. Ed went off to U.S.A.C. [now Utah State University, Logan, Utah] to study. During one visit home we had a bad horse and buggy car accident. It wrecked Grandpa Smith's buggy and lamed me for years. At Father Neff's urging I dropped out of high school, as there was no future for educated girls. He then sent me to a special sewing school to help me become a good homemaker. That fall Ed joined the Navy. While waiting for his assignment he took a course in wireless telegraphy with my help. In July of 1918 he got his call to San Francisco. He was soon recognized as the best in telegraphy, and got advanced fast. Our letters were every-day reading. I was very lonely, but joined the other girls in Red Cross work for the boys "over there." Of course this was World War I, a terrible time. About the 25th of September I answered the phone. It was Ed, which startled me. He told me he was coming home to marry me, as he couldn't get a furlough unless it was to get married. Mother Neff was shocked, but I was happy- -so everything started with a bang. What fun and excitement for everyone-- wedding arrangements, dresses, plans of every kind. Mother Neff thought that it would be best to have a civil marriage rather than Temple as times were so uncertain, but I said, 'No.' Invitations were phoned. Helen and Tullie came out to help cook. I was the only one that knew where things were, so [2 Oct 1918, following a ceremony in the Salt Lake Temple] even while I stood in line with Ed [in the parlor of the Neff home] I was asked where things were--it was really funny. It was a ball. We left everyone there to go to the train for our honeymoon to San Francisco, not knowing what would be the circumstances. When we left there I kissed Mother and Father and thanked them and everyone for everything, and left. On our way down to San Francisco the train had a broken wheel and was delayed for a day. Ed had to call and report the delay, and we had no time to spare, but all was well. We went to the home of his father's English cousin, "Aunt" Annie Meachin and her daughter Ida Meachin. We stayed one night. Then Ed had to leave me to get on a ship. How sad I was, as I'd never travelled before, and I was in tears. But Laura, George Smith's wife, took me downtown to comfort me a little. When we returned to George's home, who should come to the door but Ed. I could hardly believe it, but I know the Lord was still blessing me and us. The flu [the 1918-19 influenza epidemic] was so bad that the Navy wouldn't let anyone in or out. As Ed had been gone almost 10 days they wouldn't let him on ship. He reported to a naval school each morning, but was free for almost a month. So we made Golden Gate Park [in San Francisco] our honeymoon haven, staying out in the open air as much as possible as people were dying of the flu by

125 the thousands down there--including, as we learned later, many in the hotel where we were staying. Ed got another furlough to bring me home. We arrived the day before Thanksgiving [Wednesday, November 27, 1918]. Soon there was another sad parting, so I stayed with Father and Mother Neff. By the time he had made a trip to Eugene, Oregon in a leaky mine tender [?-Eugene is inland] and another to Hawaii for a month, the war was over. The Navy gave Ed a special early release so he could go home to work on the farm, as there was a big shortage of farm help. Father Neff wanted him to come and take over his farm, but it was too late in the season, so we went up to help [his brother-in-law] Hugh Erekson in Kamas [east in Heber Valley in the Wasatch Mountains]. We lived in a tent, finally buying a table and chairs and a bed. It was time to settle down, so we came back to Father Neff's farm and fixed up the granary where I had played as a child. It was two rooms, a very cute little place. We lived there a year. Vivian was born there, the 30th of April 1920. Father and Mother Neff went down to Long Beach for the winter and we took over the big house. Mildred Boyce stayed with us and went to school from there. On January 26, 1922, in the worst snowstorm I can remember, Mary Grace was born in the bed and room I'd slept in for 15 years. Ed had gone all the way to Butlerville through the blizzard in a buggy to fetch a nurse. When he saw the baby his face was as long as a donkey's, as he wanted a boy. It took a few years, but I got all the boys he wanted. In fact I filled up the back yard with boys trying to get another girl. While we were here I had a very bad case of the flu. When Mary Grace was a year old I got diphtheria at a Stake Conference at the old Granite Stake Tabernacle on 33rd South. Several other people did also, which made everyone very upset. We then bought the Boam farm at 4644 South 13th East from Father Neff and moved our family into the granary behind it after fixing it up to make it livable. [It later became known as the home at 1281 East 4650 South.] We were waiting for the tenants, a Greek family, to move out of the main house. Lloyd was born there in the granary on 25th of September 1923. When the tenants moved, we fixed up the old home as best we could and moved in. The rest of the family was born while we lived in this house. While we were still living in the granary, Ed had a chance to travel with the Naval Reserve to Valparaiso, Chile. He didn't have to go, but it was a good experience that he did. The old Boam home was an old adobe home with lots of problems. Ed was constantly remodeling it to hold our growing family. Finally, in 1949 we built my dream home, a big red brick house right next door to the south [4650 South 13th East]. Ed and the boys [including Mary Grace's husband Reed Allen]

126 also built us a cabin up Big Cottonwood Canyon, where we loved to go. We also helped the children remodel the granary, which was home to Mary Grace and Reed for a while [before they moved to Seattle in 1957] and now Albert and his family. Ed and I lived in the brick house until after his bad fall off the roof. Taking care of the house got to be too much, so in about 1958 we moved to 315 Utopia Avenue in South Salt Lake. After Ed's death in 1960 [from heart failure] I wanted to move back to the old neighborhood. So my youngest son David built me a little house west of the old granary on the new street [4650 South] where the little subdivision is around the pond. I lived there until after I married an old friend from school days, widower Thomas Cordon Midgley who had live many years in Ogden. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple "for Time" on November 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was shot. I finally bought back the old house on 13th East, which had gone to pot, and Cord and I fixed it al up for us to live in. I sold the new house to Albert, and Cord and I found a little home in Washington, Utah, near Cord's brother George Midgley in St. George. We lived there for a time and then had a home built for us by David on the lot next door, where we now spend most of our time when we are not in Salt Lake. Cord especially likes it there because we have such a nice big garden and lots of places to go fishing. Still we are never too busy to have visitor, and we like to get out to family get-togethers whenever we can. Life has been pretty good to us. We have all worked hard to raise a good family, and we've enjoyed life to the fullest.

Ethel saw this life from the pioneer way to the wonders of today. She made soap over a fire in a copper vat in the back yard, cooked on a wood stove and got light from a coal oil lamp. She flew on jet planes saw Europe and England, the lands of her ancestors and of Ed's ancestors. She also touched the lives of many. Many things about Ethel endeared her to all who were associated with her. One of her attributes was her outstanding leadership coupled with enthusiasm and endless ideas and untiring service. She will never be forgotten by neighbors, friends and relatives who joined in the numerous gatherings and parties such as the corn and watermelon busts, the hayrides and the sleighrides, the Fourth of July parades, the 13th East Sewing Club and the Study Group she spearheaded. The PTA at Lincoln School received a jolt of enthusiasm and increased productivity and activity when she joined their ranks, serving as Chair of the School Lunch Program, Vice President and President. One

127 night, she "saved the day" when the lights went off during a banquet. She lit up the hall by shining a flashlight on the ceiling. She always took an active part in the Church when her health would permit. Even when she wasn't well enough to hold a position, she would take all the children to Sunday School every Sunday morning and Sacrament Meeting every Sunday afternoon, typically at the Winder Ward Meetinghouse, near 45th South on Highland Drive. And if the children were not there, they were really missed, because they would take up almost an entire row. From the very beginning, she helped with Religion class. During the years when the winter weather was so severe and transportation was not available to all the children in the neighborhood, she arranged to hold a home Primary meeting during the week, so the children would not be deprived of their spiritual training. During World War Ii, she served as a Counselor to Stella Boles in the Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association. She was also always active in the women's Relief Society, holding various positions, form Ward and Stake Magazine Representative to Counselor to the Stake Relief Society President. Unselfish, thoughtful and sympathetic to the needs of others, she spent many hours taking in food, grown in her own garden or baked in her oven; caring for children for days at a time; or just giving an ear to a burdened heart. Ethel helped neighbors, relatives, and even strangers who came to the door. She even gave work to strangers to help them, and sometimes they returned her kindness by stealing from her, such as the man who stole the piggy banks and the girl who stole her diamond ring. But that did not stop her from helping others. When old "Uncle" Ben Eldridge following his retirement as state agriculture agent at Utah State Agricultural College, needed a place to live, she fixed up the little house next door for him and did all she could to make his life pleasant and comfortable. He spent many hours sitting in the kitchen watching her busily preparing meals or ironing. She would always invite him to dinner or send something home with him. Her kindness was rewarded when Uncle Ben gave her some of his furniture, including a chair from Brigham Young, a roll-top desk, an English sideboard and a grand dining table. Two of her nineteenth century chairs inherited from the Neffs and Uncle

128 Ben's rolltop desk, fully restored, are in the California home of her grandson, Kenneth Allen [1994]. Uncle Ben's beautiful sideboard is in the home of Albert Neff Smith at 1281 East 4650 South on the family property in the Mill Creek area (Salt Lake City). One of the challenges of her life was caring for her son Stanley, who was born 3 August 1925 with Down's Syndrome. A sweet, gentle child, he lived at home until his mother could no longer care for him. He attended the State School in American Fork, Utah County and as an adult he lived in a group home, where he was visited often by the family. Not expected to live a long life, Stanley passed away at age 54, 9 June 1980, just two months following the death of his brother-in-law Reed Allen. Her love for beauty did not end with a beautiful garden, such as she and Cord grew at their home in Washington City. Like her half brother John, she developed her artistic talent with a paint brush and palette. She preserved scenery on canvas and watercolor paper for family and friends to treasure for life and down from generation to generation. When she could not find or afford birthday cards for her many grandchildren, she was known to paint water color postcards and small oils on those special occasions. Her work has won many ribbons at shows throughout the State of Utah. She also created many other works of art with her hands, such as embroidery, quilts, needlepoint, crocheted articles and even baby bonnets. Although she seldom admitted to being able to play the piano, she brought warmth into the hears and home with the melodic notes from the old upright piano she played as a child. Many a Sunday she awoke the children with the sound of beautiful church hymns that set the referent mood for the entire day. In addition to her other hobbies, fishing was something she always enjoyed, so long as someone else baited the hook for her. She took fishing trips to Fish Lake and other places with Ed, and knew all the good streams of southern Utah with Cord. Genealogy was quite a concern to her. She had a strong desire to trace her ancestry and spent much time and money in the worthy pursuit. She always looked forward to the twice yearly Smith family reunions and the monthly luncheon get-togethers with her sisters and half-nieces.

129 Ethel lived her last years as a widow in a small cottage down the road west of the home of her son Robert and daughter-in-law Carol in Centerville, Utah, where she could be close to part of her family. Her daughter Vivian Stoddart passed away 6 July 1985 following a long bout with Lou Gehrig's disease. Cord passed away quietly the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day 28 November 1985 at Bob's and Carol's home, following Thanksgiving dinner, when his heart simply stopped. Ethel passed away following Sunday dinner following a brief bout of weakness 28 October 1990, also while in Bob and Carol's home. Lucid and physically able to the very end, she was one month short of her ninety- third birthday. Ethel summed up much of her life in a poem written to her husband Ed for his 59th birthday, March 2, 1956:

130 OUR OWN

When time is passing so fast My Dear And burdens are getting lighter to bear, And our path down life's way is paved with cheer What can we look back on and call our own If it isn't our children and our well-loved home?

When Vivian was the world's sweet black-haired doll And for her we would have given our all Mary Grace came along and her sister and we Thought our angel had come with us to be.

Then their Daddy had fear of not having a boy So when Lloyd came along he was his pride and joy. We tried, oh how we tried, but nothing could help To make our little Stanley as we hoped he would be. Now we know he had accomplished before he came from heaven more than we.

An image of Dad's playmate and brother who at six passed through the Veil, Raymond, a darling babe, came with a welcome that never failed.

We mark the passing of your grandparents dear By the birth of our sweet little John who was always full of cheer.

Bob as a nickname so much answered his like As a babe he looked like Mary Grace--a cute little tyke.

With the world's depression and scarlet fever in a swirl, All would have been fine if the next were a girl. A boy came along and his grandfather we could see And Albert never a disappointment could be. A girl couldn't be sweeter, a boy never better So he made us all happy and pleased--all right to the letter.

Time running out and a girl we still hoped for But the Lord knew best and our seventh boy My darling David was brought with joy.

What fun and rejoicing as a family we've had

131 Enjoying the good and enduring the bad. Each child had his place; we played and worked as a group Lunches on the lawn and down to the orchard we'd troop. Then there were days when all the eggs would mysteriously leave the old chicken coop.

Well Daddy dear, we now sit at the table alone We couldn't imagine this when they were all home. Now husbands and wives and grandchildren they bring, It makes us more happy than if it were Spring. We'll go on living and loving them all Until we answer our last final call.

I love you.

132 THE LIFE OF PAUL AKERT 1889-1948 by Benjamin Bruce Akert

Paul Akert was born in Coleridge, Nebraska on January 1, 1889. He lived his childhood years in Ainsworth, Nebraska. He attended high school Ainsworth, a sod school near Johnstown, Nebraska and Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska. After Paul's mother, Pauline Roser Akert, passed away, his father Fritz Akert remarried. Fritz's new wife insisted that the boys work, so Paul, at the age of only nine, went to live on a farm, never to return to his father's home. Paul grew up working on a farm, eventually working his way to Chadron by helping to build the Northwestern Railroad tracks, so he could attend Chadron College. Paul played football until he broke his collarbone as he was being thrown over the opposing team's line. Paul worked his way through Chadron College as a YMCA physical education instructor and secretary. He went Texas for the YMCA during the Mexican Problem before World War I. Paul enlisted in the service during World War I, serving as a runner in France, where he was wounded in action three times. Following the war, he stayed in France to work for the YMCA. He left Europe after a short visit to the family in Switzerland. He spoke frequently about his visit to Zürich and how wonderfully he was treated there. Paul returned to Chadron where he met and married Cyla Amerilys Mosley and raised a family of six children, two daughters followed by four sons, Pauline (1920), Alma (1921), Walter Karl (1922), William Eugene (1923), Robert Paul (1925- 1981) and Benjamin Bruce (1927). He worked for the YMCA, where he served as the YMCA Secretary until 1927. He transferred to McCook, Nebraska, where he served as YMCA Secretary there until July 1939, when his health failed him. In 1938, Paul contracted sleeping sickness from exposure to a sick horse. It caused in him a slow debilitating process that eventually

133 completely paralyzed him. In 1943, at the age of 54 and virtually fully paralyzed, he was transferred to the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Hot Springs, South Dakota. There he died in 1948. He was buried in Ainsworth, Nebraska. Paul Akert was a strong, athletic, warm, Christian man who loved his wife and family. As his children, we never questioned his authority or his love. He gave his life for other without much thought of personal gain, and he provided for his family very well, until he could no longer work. More could not be asked of anyone.

49 Hans Heinrich AKERT, born on 26 Jun 1732 at Nussbaumen, Thurgau, Switzerland; christened on 29 Jun 1732 at Stammheim, Zürich, Switzerland; died on 22 May 1799 at Aussersihl, Zürich, Switzerland. Hans Heinrich Akeret, later spelled Akert, removed to the Zürich area in about 1760 to be a servant of Captain Hans Caspar Bürkli of Katzenhörli. He settled near in Wiedikon near the Sihl bridge. The purchase of property by St. Jacob's beyond the Sihl bridge by Hans Heinrich Ackert was recorded 16 Februar 1761. The same Heinrich Akert is recorded as becoming a citizen of Aussersihl upon its founding on 14 March 1787. Hans Heinrich AKERT married (1) Magdelena FREY on 23 Jan 1763 at St. Peter's, Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland.

There are many confused records regarding the birth and marriage of Magdelena in original sources. The name is variously Frey or Frei, which are acceptable variants. Stadtarchivist of Zürich, Dr. Paul Guyer, in correspondence received 1 Dec 1969 by Mary Grace Allen, then of San Rafael, CA, copy in poss of Kenneth R. Allen, Palo Alto, CA, lists Magdalena Frey von Kloten b 25 Sept 1727. No parents have ever been found. This may have been a reference to Magdalena Meyer. However, further research by Alfred Reichen in the Stadtarchiv Zürich reported to Kenneth R. Allen (1974) a birth (chris.) date of 15 Feb 1723 for Magdalena Frei. Ernst Akert, Chronik der Familie Akert von Aussersihl=Zürich, 1930, pp. 23-30, lists birthdate of 15 Feb 1723 for Magdalena Frey of Kloten. Marriage records specifically report a 23 Jan. 1763 marriage in St. Peter's, Zürich, Switzerland.
