(Thanks to goes Laura L. #47617185 for the following article!) Gottfred Heiniger, one of the well known and popular farmers and stockman of Richmond township, was born in Berne, Switzerland, August 12, 1869. He is a son of John and Mary (Hess) Heiniger. The father was born in Switzerland in 1826, and came to America in 1895, and settled in Illinois. In 1899, he migrated to Kansas, locating in Nemaha county, where he died the following year. The mother of Gottfred Heiniger was born in Switzerland in 1847, and was tne second wife of John Heiniger. Three children were born to this union, their names being: Gottfred, whose life story is herein written; Mrs. Emma Hencher, living in Ohio; Gottlieb, Nebraska. Gottfred was educated in the public schools of Switzerland. He immigrated to America in 1893 and settled at Bern, Nemaha county, Kansas, and worked out as a farm hand for about ten years. The following six years he spent as a tenant on the farm in Richmond township which he now owns. When he went to it as a renter, the place was only slightly improved and was not so well equipped, as it is today. Mr. Heiniger now owns 320 acres of land in Nemaha county, all of which he has bought by the fruits of his own labors and upon which he can look as a result of his industry and careful management. In 1897, he was married to Anna Meyer, who was born in Ohio, in 1871, and came to Kansas when a very small child with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Myer, who were born in Germany. To Mr. and Mrs. Heiniger were born five children, as follows: Louise, born 1899; William and Walter, twins, born 1902; Martha, born 1903; Edward, born 1906. Mr. Heiniger is a German Mennonite, and his wife is of the same faith. Neither is affiliated with fraternal organizations, and in politics, they are independent voters, always supporting the side which seems to be right, without regard for party names. Mr. Heiniger is a member of the school board of Gilman township, and is very much interested in giving better educational advantages to the children of the present generation. He is a conscientious and upright citizen who is respected and admired by his neighbors and by all who know him. He is one of those strong types who form the backbone of our country's citizenry, and without whom America would be weak and vacillating. http://books.google.com/books?id=IXM_AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA507&focus=viewport&output=text#c_top (Note: Not all information match for dates & names, but I believe this is the father of Gotfried & Gottlieb Heiniger, also Frederich with his first wife Elizabeth Schmaltz.)
