  • Note: According to the Gemeindeversammlungsprotokoll (record of the assembly of citizens) Gontenschwil, vol. 3, p. 145, in July 1863, Hans Rudolph Hunziker and Heinrich Steiner asked the local authority for a financial contribution to emigrate with their families. On July 15, the assembly gave 30 Fr. (Swiss francs) to each person in the two families. Thereafter, the Hunzikers and Steiners emigrated together from Gontenschwil, Switzerland to the U.S. Hans Rudolph and his 5 children travelled from Havre to New York in the vessel Quesell and from there overland to Highland, Madison County, Illinois. Highland was referred to as New Switzerland as it was the center of Swiss trade along the upper Mississippi River. Unfortunately, Hans Rudolph died of pneumonia shortly after arriving in the U.S.
