Married Mrs. Mary Smith on December 16, 1873 at Columbus, Nebr. by a Probate Judge. ''''''''''''''''''''''''''' The Columbus Journal, February 22, 1905, p. 1, col. 4 Christian Gisin. Christian Gisin, one of the earliest settlers in Columbus and one of the most widely and most favorably known characters in Columbus' early history, died at his home in the south east part of the city, at seven o'clock last night. His death was caused by dropsy, from which he has suffered for a long time. Mr. Gisin, who was sixty-four years old, was born in Altingan, Country of Basel Switzerland. He came with Henry Gass to Rochelle, Ill. In the spring of '68 and they came together to Columbus, reaching here February 2, 1870 where they engaged in the furniture business together. Mr. Gisin, who was a cooper by trade, soon after his arrival here withdrew from the partnership with Mr. Gisin [Gass?] and entered the employ of the Columbus brewery company where he has worked continuously since. Mr. Gisin is said to have made the first coffin ever made in Columbus. The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow at the German Reform Church and interment will be made in the Columbus cemetery. _____ The Columbus Telegram, February 24, 1905, p. 1, col. 5 The death of Christian Gisin occurred Tuesday night at his home in the southeast part of the city. For several months Mr. Gisin had been ailing, but not to an extent that he was bed-ridden, and he persisted in remaining at his work until last Saturday. A general breaking down of his health is given as the nature of the illness which resulted in his death. Mr. Gisin came to Columbus in 1870 as a companion of Henry Gass. He and Mrs. Gass had known each other in the old country. Together they came to America in 1868. Before coming to this city they stopped for two years at Rochelle, Illinois. Both were cabinet makers. They mad the first coffin ever made in Columbus. Twenty years ago Mr. Gisin went to work at the Kersenbrock brewery as a cooper, and up to the time of his death that has been his employment. The deceased was sixty-four years and six months old. He was born in Canton Basel, Switzerland. In 1873 he was married in this city to Mrs. Mary Smith, who survives him. The funeral service was held at the German Reformed church yesterday afternoon, Rev. R. Neumarker being in charge.
