LANGNAU The frontispiece picture is an artist's reproduction of the ^Vappen'^ (pronounced VAHP-en) or family crest for the Rothiisberger von Langnau family. Langnau is the city in the Canton (state) of Bern in Switzerland, which is the '^heimat,'' or place of origin, for the Rothiisberger family. Although the origin of this wappen is obscure, it dates at least from the 14th century when the use of such family symbols became popular in Switzerland. The wappen may even have been in use prior to that period. In German, "rot" means red, and a "berger" is a mountain dweller. Thus the castle (or dwelling) perched on the red hills (or mountains) serves as a symbol for the Rothiisberger name. ' *Dale E.

This booklet is in commemoration of that important event in the lives of their grateful descendants. This is a compilation of the short histories which have been written by or about the five Rothlisberger children who grew to adulthood after coming to Arizona from Switzerland. These five include Bertha, Jacob, Jr, Fred, John, and Edward. Even though John married, he and his wife had no children. Because his life and Edward's were intertwined, his basic story is told in the chapters on Edward. vin 10 When I wrote the book entitled To Luella and Ed With Love: The Histories of Luella Hall and Edward Rothlisberger^ I used excerpts from the above histories. These histories will be typed here in their entirety', so you will notice the repetitions when you get to the chapters extracted from that book. Sorry, but I didn^t know at the time we would be doing this booklet. It will also be noticed that the page numbers are not consistent due to extracting several chapters from the above-mentioned book. However, doing it this way seemed to make the history of the entire family flow better.

He was born in Langnau, Canton of Bern, Switzerland, near the Emme River in the beautiful Emmental valley. Although his birthdate is unavailable, it can be estimated from the baptism dates of his children that he was bom about 1532, which would have made him a contemporary of the Swiss Reformation and the "golden age of the Swiss mercenary soldier." Sometime between 1550 and 1555 he married Katharina Bach in Langnau. No other information has been uncovered concerning Konrad Rothlisberger, but it can be reasoned that he lived the life of a farmer somewhere in the Emmental valley or mountains in the eastern part of the Canton Bern, just as his descendants were to do for the next several centuries. Konrad and Katharina had three children - Niklaus, Konrad, Jr., and Magdalena. Our family Hne comes through Niklaus. Geographical Regions of S\A/itzerland Approximate Mittelland 30% I I boundaries Alps 60% of regions EH] There are numerous phonetic spellings of Rothlisberger. Everyone spelled it as he or she heard it. Some of those spellings are: Roethlisberger, Rothlesburger, Rothlisperger, etc. Information on the Rothlisbergers can be found in the Family History Library in Salt Lake, Film # 193,482, Langnau. Also see Kammacher Family, Etc., by Julius Billiter, "Rothlisberger of Langnau," section, page 128 of the book, and page 2 of the family, FHL Book No. Q929.2494 K129B. 18 122 Our story begins in earnest nine generations later with Christian III who was born in 1814. Still in the Langnau area, Christian and Anna Barbara Jost (Yost) were married August 27, 1841. Eight children blessed their home. The name "Anna" must have had special significance to them - their three daughters were Anna Maria, Anna Barbara, and Marianne. The sons were Johannes, Jacob, Christian IV, Johann Peter (John Peter), and Gottfried. Christian and Anna were members of the Protestant Church. This statement may seem odd considering the great number and variety of protestant churches in the world today. But apparently in Switzerland at that time there were only two churches ~ Catholic and Protestant. Christian and Anna Barbara were converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and were baptized in July and November of 1869. Four of the children were baptized within the next two years, namely, Anna Maria, Anna Barbara, John Peter, and Marianne. Johannes, Christian, and Gottfried did not join the Church while they were living. It is not known why Jacob (Edward's father) was not baptized until 1897.

  • President Edward J. Wood Retires at Cardston After 39 Years Service; Action Is Taken at Stake Conference
    THE LETHBRIDGE HERALD AUGUST 17, 1942 President Edward J. Wood Retires At Cardston After 39 Years Service; Action Is Taken At Stake Conference Dean of Stake Presidents of Church — Willard L. Smith His Suc­ cessor (From Our Own Correspondent) CARDSTON, Aug. 17. — President Edward J. Wood, 76, dean of stake presidents of the L. D. S. (Mormon) Church, retired Sunday as president of the Alberta stake after oc­ cupying that position for a period of 39 years. He retains his position as president of the Alberta Temple. The well known and dearly loved churchman was released from his du­ ties as stake president at his own request. The action was taken Sunday at the sessions of the Alberta stake conference with Elder L. Richards of the Council of the Twelve Apostles, Salt Lake City, and Bishop Joseph L. Wirthlin of Salt Lake, present. Elder Richards officiated, paying high tribute to the long and notable ministry of President Wood, not only in Alberta but also in the South Sea Islands, where he served as a missionary for many years. Bishop Wirthlin also joined in paying tribute to the retiring stake president. New President President Wood is succeeded by Willard L. Smith, member of the stake high council and former president of the Samoan Mission, and his counsellors are H. G. Jensen and Gordon Brewerton. President Wood's counsellors, Z. W. Jacobs, K. C. and John S. Smith, also retired along with the president after many years of faithful service. The stake high council was reorganized. The conference, held in the tabernacle, was largely attended, the chief addresses being delivered by the visiting church leaders.

  • LDS Polygamy in Canada
    NOTES AND COMMENTS Exiles for the Principle: LDS Polygamy in Canada Jessie L. Embry n his thesis on the "Founding of the Mormon Community in Alberta," Archie Wilcox explained, "It can be said, without any fear of correc- tion that the Mormons of Alberta do not and have not practiced polygamy in this province at any time" (1950, 10). While this is the image that the Mor- mons in Alberta wanted to give the Canadian government, Wilcox's defensive statement is only partially true. After the Supreme Court in Reynolds vs. United States (1879) upheld the anti-polygamy provisions of the 1862 Morrill Act, the stricter provision of the 1882 Edmunds Act seemed almost inevitable. James May, who married a plural wife, Rhoda Ann Lang, in 1877 and moved with her to Cardston in 1888 after serving a prison term for unlawful cohabitation, summarized in 1882: "In this year the Congress of the United States enacted and passed what is known as the Edmunds Bill making plural marriage a crime and punish- able by fine and imprisonment. Then commenced a raid on that class of men which lasted about eight years. Men fled to every point of the compass to escape the wrath of those very righteous pharisees" (p. 24). In 1886 and 1887 Charles O. Card, stake president in Cache Valley, directed the settlement to one of these "points of the compass," Southern Alberta. He had originally planned to move to Mexico, but Church President John Taylor encouraged him to go to Canada because, as Taylor explained, "I have always found jus- tice under the British flag" (in Hudson 1961, 80-81).

  • The Swiss in Utah: an Introduction
    I. The Swiss In Utah: An Introduction Douglas F. Tobler1 Beginning in the mid-18.50s, Swiss immigrants, virtually all converts from early successful Mormon proselyting in their homeland, began arriving in the Utah Territory. They became part of two larger immigrant streams: one composed of thousands--by the year 1900, some 115,000--of fellow Swiss who, beginning in colonial times, had found new homes in the United States; and the other, the so-called "Gathering to Zion," the organized emigration of thousands of European Mormon converts, mostly from Protestant countries, in the last half of the nineteenth and the first decades of the twentieth century. These Swiss emigrants traveled to Utah by various means--on sailing ships and steamships, by covered wagons, handcarts, and eventually railroad--to help settle several hundred communities in the "Great Basin Kingdom" of the Rocky Mountain West Only a very few of them acquired any lasting fame; but they were, in general, industrious, disciplined, and productive people, surprisingly well satisfied with their new, arid homeland. Only an occasional disillusioned soul returned home, while a few others like Heinrich Hug and his brothers and their families lost faith in Mormonism and its leaders and moved elsewhere. By the mid-nineteenth century, migration and emigration were well-established elements of Swiss demographic life, with over 70 percent of the emigrants choosing the United States as their destination. Throughout much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, religious dissatisfaction, periodic economic crises, and local overpopulation--the push factors--joined with alluring propaganda for America as the "land of unlimited opportunities" and the powerful testimonials of earlier emigrant families and friends--the pull factors--to entice the Swiss from virtually every canton to the United States, where they truly became part of the melting pot.

  • Mission to the Fatherland, –
    Mission to the Fatherland, – I know (I don’t merely say I believe), that Joseph Smith is a prophet of the living God! I have proof for it. —Karl G. Maeser1 n July 29, 1866, while attending a meeting in the bowery in Springville, Brigham Young motioned to Franklin D. Richards to come and sit by him. Richards recorded, “He asked me how O 2 I would like to go on a mission to England.” Richards had already served eight missions, three of which were in the British Isles. At the time, he had thirteen wives3 and dozens of children.4 He was serving in the territo- rial legislature and had established families in Ogden, Farmington, Nephi, and Idaho. He told Young that “if it was his wish that I should go I would do so though to human calculation it seemed difficult.”5 Richards asked Young if he should prepare to leave in the fall, and Young “reckoned [he] could get ready and be off in four or five days.”6 Richards dropped everything else and left at 4:00 a.m. on August 13 to preside once again over the missions in Europe. Such was the way of operating for those who had consecrated their lives to build Zion, and the Maesers were also familiar with it. They had settled in Salt Lake and were finally attempting to build a home of their own. Their family had grown to six; Reinhard was now twelve, Ottillie C T Old Tabernacle and Bowery in Salt Lake City, ca. 1850. Maeser was attending general conference in the Bowery in 1867 when he learned he had been called to the Swiss-German Mission.
