Meier Family History Baumgartner Family History 5
Meier Family History Jacob Benjamin Baumgartner Jacob Benjamin Baumgartner was born in Switzerland, in 1860. Jacob came to America in 1880 when he was 21. Jacob had a daughter with Charlotte on August 1, 1885 in Chicago, Illinois. I have not found a marriage record in the States; and sometime after the birth of Frieda, the marriage dissolved. Jacob then married to Mary Barbara Huber, July 28, 1887 in Chicago, Illinois. Charlotte died in 1923, I am unaware of who raised Frieda. Little is known of those early years in America and how he traveled further West to Washington. Mary Barbara was born to Carl Huber and Anna Stienman, March 10, 1864 in Switerland. She had come to America in 1884 at the age of 20. Both Jacob and Mary were naturalized in 1894. Jacob and Mary's children were, Lena, Eda, Henry, and Hilda Isabelle who was born September 9, 1899 in Warrenton, Oregon. Their first daughter, Lena, was born in Illinois. Jacob and Mary began a dairy farm in Olney, Oregon. Mary was a member of the Assembly of God church in Warrenton, Oregon. Jacob was 59 and living in Portland, Oregon with his wife in 1920. The children had married and gone; and Jacob farmed his own land. They continued to grow their farm and by 1930 their farm was valued at $5,000. Jacob lived to 78 years old, dying on January 11, 1938; Mary lived to 92, dying at her daughter, Lena Boyle's home in November 13, 1956. Both are buried in Portland, Oregon. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Sources: 1. United States Federal Cenus 1910, 1920, 1930 2.
