Mrs. Catharine HASLER, widow of Casper HASLER, died at her home in Taylor township, March 14, 1897, after an illness of five weeks. Her maiden name was Catharine MOSER. She was born in France, Dec. 25, 1816. She was sprinkled in infancy, under the ritual of the Southern church, becoming a member of that body at the age of sixteen years.
She was married to Casper HASLER, April 19, 1837 in Switzerland, her husband preceding her to America one year in search of a home to which she came in 1850, making the long and tiresome journey with seven small children and no one to help her in any way. She was a stranger in at strange land, but the Lord was with her and she got through all right.
Her life in America was spent at the residence where she died, having raised a family of fourteen children, six of whom are living. Her married life was a long and happy one, her constant effort being for the comfort and welfare of her family. Her husband preceded her over the river of death twelve years. During her last sickness she bore her affliction in patience, often expressing her resignation to death. She was eighty years, two months and nineteen days old.

Dutch Cemetery, Greene County, IN
The church is Walnut Grove in Bloomfield, a few miles down the road. Burial is at Dutch Cemetery, Greene County, IN. The rock stone with the circle was the well top at my great great great grandfathers' home they built after all of his family, which included my great, great grandfather, came over from Switzerland in 1849.
Quite a story.
When they were coming over, my great (x2) grandfather was a baby and almost was kept off the ship. Just think - all of us wouldn't be here now, if his Mom had not grabbed him from the arms of the nanny who refused to hand him over.
