Bank Statement, 1869
<p>This is most probably a bank statement documenting the movement of Money in the Schuetz-Parli family account. All the sums are in Swiss franks.</p>
<p>Gottlieb Schuetz and Anna Parli were the second maternal great-grandparents of Bill Dean and his family who shared the documents at the History Harvest. A son of soap manufacturers Hans (John) Schuetz and Magdalena Luthi, Gottlieb was born in 1838 in Canton Berne, Switzerland. He married Anna Parli who also came from Canton Berne, Switzerland in 1863 and immigrated to Humboldt, Nebraska in 1870. Jacob, the fifth child in the family was born in July of 1870, the year they moved. Their daughter Maria (Mary) Schuetz, born in 1867 in Switzerland started the Dean family line marrying German-born Dirk Sutorius in 1889. Their daughter Emma, born in 1890 married a recent emigrant from Germany (1908) Edo F. Harms in 1914. All three generations lived in Humboldt in close proximity with various relatives (Emma Sutorius's uncle John Schuetz lived right next door to her family according to the 1930 census).</p>
<p>First settled in 1855, Humboldt, Nebraska is very close to the Nebraska borders with the three states: Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas. The town was a home to a vibrant immigrant community uniting people from Germany, Switzerland, Bohemia, and later Czechoslovakia, England, and various other places in the United States and beyond. The German-speaking community organized around the German Methodist mission that established a church in Humboldt in 1879.</p>

Flato Commission Company Cattle Sales Account, August 17, 1898
<p>This account acknowledges the sale of 53 cows and 1 cow and calf to a party F.J. Nelson, Ms Wilberger's grandfather, was a drover for. This document is evidence of Omaha's stockyards and livestock market growth at the end of the 19th century as well as cattle prices at that time. Thus, F. J. Nelson paid $1469.06 (more than $37,000 today) for 54 cattle, almost $60 out of which were freight and back charges, commission, and hay for the cows.</p>

Kantonal Bank von Bern Check, 1873
<p>Gottlieb Schuetz and Anna Parli were the second maternal great-grandparents of Bill Dean and his family who shared the documents at the History Harvest.</p>
<p>The Swiss Parli relatives probably sent this check to the Schuetz family in 1873, three years after the Schuetzes moved to the United States to support them in starting their life in Humboldt Nebraska. The check is for $50.00, which in 2010 money is about $900, a sum good enough to support a family of seven for a while. Jacob, the fifth child in the family was born in July of 1870, the year they moved.</p>
<p>A son of soap manufacturers Hans (John) Schuetz and Magdalena Luthi, Gottlieb was born in 1838 in Canton Berne, Switzerland. He married Anna Parli who also came from Canton Berne, Switzerland in 1863 and immigrated to Humboldt, Nebraska in 1870. Their daughter Maria (Mary) Schuetz, born in 1867 in Switzerland started the Dean family line marrying German-born Dirk Sutorius in 1889. Their daughter Emma, born in 1890 married a recent emigrant from Germany (1908) Edo F. Harms in 1914. All three generations lived in Humboldt in close proximity with various relatives (Emma Sutorius's uncle John Schuetz lived right next door to her family according to the 1930 census).</p>

Money Receipt, 1870
<p>This is most possibly a receipt for the money Gottlieb Schuetz's in-law relative lent him to help move from the district of Burgdorf in Switzerland to Humboldt, Nebraska in the spring of 1870. The sums of money mentioned, $132.82 and $64.60 would make $2260 and $1100 in 2010 dollars, respectively.</p>
