“Oh, These Red Hills, This Roily Water” JOHN (JOHANNES) GEORGE AND SOPHIA HABERLI STAHELI AND CHILDREN WILHELMINA, ELIZABETH, GEORGE, MARY, AND JOHN In the Swiss village of Amriswil, Thurgau, Switzerland, George Staheli was born on 6 February 1825 to Johannes Staheli and Elizabeth Thalmann Staheli. In this village he grew to manhood. He was blessed with entrepreneurial skills and owned a small, water powered factory on the outskirts of Amriswil. This factory made cotton yarns. Although this was his vocation his avocation was music, a genetic talent inherent in almost all of the Stahelis. He belonged to a quartet of young musicians who were in demand to play for dances, festivals and other celebrations. Their musical ability would cause them to travel throughout Switzerland and into Germany. When 24 years of age, George married Sophia Haberli in Amriswil on 17 July 1849. She was the daughter of Johannes Haberli and Anna Barbara Haberli and was born in Ilighausen, Thurgau, on 25 April 1826. Nine children blessed this union with two of them dying in infancy in Switzerland. Their children were: Wilhelmina (1849); Jacob (1850, died, age four-months in Switzerland); Elizabeth (1851); George (1854); Mary (1855); John (1857); another unnamed child dying in infancy in Switzerland, date of birth unknown; Sophia (1860, died when just over a-year- old on the Monarch of the Sea); and Barbara (1861), reputed to be the first girl of the Swiss Company to be born in Santa Clara. She was born on 25 December 1861, just 27 days after their arrival. Thomas B.H. Stenhouse began preaching in Geneva, Switzerland, in December of 1850, having been sent there from Italy by Apostle Lorenzo Snow. After several years of preaching in this area of Switzerland, frustration mounted as they had no one to preach to the German speaking Swiss. In 1853, they requested a German speaking missionary to come to Switzerland. George Mayer was sent from the German Mission to begin the work among the German speaking Swiss. He and others immediately had much success in their preaching. The work progressed nicely and in 1854 the first of the Staheli’s, John’s father, Johannes, was baptized and confirmed on 23 January in the Aach stream by local Swiss Elder Johannes Alder. Five years later George and Sophia were baptized in the Aach stream by John Keller, one of the original settlers of Santa Clara, on 6 June 1859. George was confirmed by mission president Jabez Woodard and Sophia by Keller. Their oldest daughter, Wilhelmina, was baptized and confirmed by Johannes Diethelm, another local Swiss Elder on 13 March 1860, just a year before they began their journey to America.1 George’s father John was the first to respond to the gathering, leaving for America in the spring of 1860. He would take his wife, daughters Elizabeth and Susanna, and three grandchildren with him; namely his son Georges oldest daughter, nine-year-old Wilhelmina; daughter Susanna’s, 4-year-old, John Bianchi; and daughter Barbara’s son, 5-year-old Sebastian Strasser. The following spring George and his family were on their way to America, joining a group of Swiss Saints who traveled by rail and river boat to the English Channel and then by steamboat to Hull, England, completing their journey to Liverpool by rail. Among these Saints there would be a large number, including the Staheli’s, who would become the original Swiss settlers of Santa Clara. They included he follow members: Susetta Bosshard (would marry John G. Hafen) and siblings Paulina (would marry Ignaz Willi), and Herman Catherine Ence (would marry John Keller) 1Records of Members Collection, Reel 6816.

(would marry Susetta Bosshard) and daughter, Barbara (would marry Ignaz Willi) Maria Justet (would marry Christian Moosman) Conrad and Elizabeth Naegeli Magdalena Wintsch (would marry John Mathis in the fall of 1862 and live with him in the “Swiss Block” in St. George) Magdalena Schneider (would marry John R. Itten) Of those listed above only John R. Itten, John Keller, and Samuel Reber did not sail on this vessel. George’s daughter Elizabeth, only nine years of age, stated they left Switzerland when the cherry blossoms were in bloom and on arriving in Liverpool they found it to be a smoky, dirty city.2 On 16 May they boarded the Monarch of the Sea the largest sailing vessel which crossed the ocean at that time. This vessel also had the largest number of Saints (960), to ever sail on a vessel to America. The Swiss Company’s mission president, Jabez Woodard, was appointed as president of the company.3 The voyage was not without incident as during a storm the sailors were afraid the ship would go down. They prepared all the long boats (six) and swore that no Mormon would get on them. A Mormon overheard the sailors and informed Elder Woodard who called all the elders to meet on the deck. Here they prayed and rebuked the wind and waves and in a short time the storm abated.4 It was also on this voyage that the Staheli’s little daughter, Sophia, passed away just three days (13 June) before reaching Castle Garden, New York, on 16 June 1861.5 From there the Swiss Company traveled by rail and river steamboat to Florence, Nebraska. The Stahelis joined the Sixtus E. Johnson Wagon Train and began their overland journey of 1,000 miles.6 They left on 14-15 July and arrived in Great Salt Lake City on 27 September. On this journey George was the bugler and sounded the bugle to awaken the travelers and again when they were ready, to have them proceed on their journey. George also played his coronet for dances and singing. As there was a goodly number of Swiss in the company, George organized a Swiss Choir which he also conducted and which was called upon to sing during Sunday services. On one occasion the company met US Army troops who had been sent to Utah during the “Utah War,” but who were now on their way east to join either the Union or Confederate Armies.7 Buffalo herds proved to be dangerous, and these Saints experienced several stampedes. Reaching their destination, they were greeted with watermelons which many of the Swiss Saints had never seen or eaten and by fresh peaches which were joyfully downed after going so long without any fresh fruits or vegetables.8 It is of interest that the Staheli’s with their large family had nearly 2Elizabeth Staheli Walker, History of Barbara Sophia Haberli Staheli, LDS Church Archives.

He was invited by President Brigham Young to stay in the city and put his musical skills to use by teaching music. Shortly thereafter at the October General Conference of the Church many Swiss were called to help build up the Southern Utah Mission. George was reluctant to stay behind as he desired to join with his parents and with his Swiss brethren who had been called to help settle this mission. They were in the city for only three weeks and before leaving to go south, many of the Swiss couples were married in the Endowment House. On the difficult journey south, the Staheli families, including his father John, and his mother Elizabeth, now completely destitute, were provided teams and oxen by bishops along the journey who would take them to the next town. In Beaver where they stayed two days, George and many of the Swiss brethren played musical instruments for those who wished to dance.10 The journey was extremely difficult as the primitive roads made passage an adventure. A personal tragedy for George occurred when on arriving in Washington; his coronet fell out of the wagon and was run over by one of its wheels, damaging it beyond repair. Arriving at Fort Clara on November 28, they joined the 20 families already living at this site. Ira Hatch allowed them to live in his upper rooms at the fort. Here George’s daughter, Barbara, was born on 25 December 1861. Later George participated in a drawing presided over by Daniel Bonelli in which the Stahelis received their building lot and farm land. In the beginning they had problems with their English brethren as communication was extremely difficult due to the language barrier. George’s daughter, Wilhelmina, who had learned the English language during her years stay with her grandparents in Great Salt Lake City, and a few Swiss who had mastered the English language were a great help to the others. Another source of discord was that the original settlers were careless in allowing their stock to roam wherever they chose while the Swiss’s life style was more structured they felt that all stock should be corralled or left to graze only in selected, supervised, areas.

  • Overview of Medieval and Renaissance Italian Names
    Overview of Medieval and Renaissance Italian Names by Signora Giata Magdalena Alberti The first major step for a living history participant to assume a persona is to choose a name. An understanding of the reasons people called themselves or became known by a certain name is useful when attempting to understand the cultural norms of a historic time and place. This paper will provide an overview of the origins and development in Italian naming practices from 800 AD to 1600 AD. GIVEN NAMES In the Middle Ages people regarded the meaning of names and believed "nomina sunt consequentia rerum" (names are the consequences of things, Dante, Vita Nuova VIII). Naming practices follow this logic. Names in Italy from 800 AD to 1600 AD were given based on the prestige of Catholic saints, literary protagonists and classical Greek or Roman icons (Fucilla 9). Evidence of this can be traced back to the days of Charlemagne. In the 9th Century Charlemagne united Western Europe as the Holy Roman Empire. Once he established religious control via the Roman Catholic Church the influence of invaders' (Arabs, Turks, Franks, etc.) names in Italy ebbed. Names became more standardized and religious, Greek, Germanic, and Latin names can be clearly identified. Popular Italian religious names from Latin such as Giorgio, Alessandro, Domenico, and Filippo are popular down to this day. Names from Greek, such as Pietro, Maddalena, and Giovanni, and from Germanic origin such as Rodolfo and Guido are now inextricably linked to Italian culture the world over. Classical names from Latin such as Laura, Augusto, and Silvia have also come down to us through the Italians (Cole 24).

  • Increasing Precipitation Volatility in Twenty-First-Century California
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-018-0140-y Increasing precipitation volatility in twenty-first- century California Daniel L. Swain 1,2*, Baird Langenbrunner3,4, J. David Neelin3 and Alex Hall3 Mediterranean climate regimes are particularly susceptible to rapid shifts between drought and flood—of which, California’s rapid transition from record multi-year dryness between 2012 and 2016 to extreme wetness during the 2016–2017 winter pro- vides a dramatic example. Projected future changes in such dry-to-wet events, however, remain inadequately quantified, which we investigate here using the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble of climate model simulations. Anthropogenic forcing is found to yield large twenty-first-century increases in the frequency of wet extremes, including a more than threefold increase in sub-seasonal events comparable to California’s ‘Great Flood of 1862’. Smaller but statistically robust increases in dry extremes are also apparent. As a consequence, a 25% to 100% increase in extreme dry-to-wet precipitation events is pro- jected, despite only modest changes in mean precipitation. Such hydrological cycle intensification would seriously challenge California’s existing water storage, conveyance and flood control infrastructure. editerranean climate regimes are renowned for their dis- however, has suggested an increased likelihood of wet years20–23 tinctively dry summers and relatively wet winters—a glob- and subsequent flood risk9,24 in California—which is consistent ally unusual combination1.

Biblical views of the desert as undesirable wilderness drove early Mormon settlers to create an Edenic oasis. Twenty-first century residents believe the desert has been conquered and no longer poses a threat , a myth that allows for aesthetic appreciation of the landscape but also supports extravagant use of water for recreation and development.

    Avenue to the Future Westside and North Avenue Draft Background Report December 2006 Prepared by Community Planning Labratory, Academic Year 2006-2007 City and Regional Planning Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis OBispo, California This Page is intentionally left blank Preface This report has been prepared as a class project by the students in the fourth year Community Planning Lab of the City and Regional Planning Department at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The report contains the background information needed for the preparation of a Community Plan and Development Code for Westside and North Avenue in the City of Ventura, California. The purpose of the Community Plan and Development Code is to guide development within Westside and North Avenue with a special emphasis on design and urban form. This class project is conducted in a fi ve month long studio designed to help the students obtain an understanding of the purpose, process, and scope of planning at the community scale. Students gathered information on the existing conditions of the Community during the fi rst phase of the project in the fall quarter of the academic year. The second phase will be conducted during the winter quarter when students will use this report to draft a Community Plan and a Development Code that is consistent with the Ventura General Plan and all elements mandated by State Law. The course is structured to simulate the professional planning work environment; however it is not a perfect simulation, as the class does not have access to a broad range of information sources nor does it have the well defi ned management levels of a professional planning offi ce.
