Ernestine Blücher was also called Ernestina. She was born in Hesse-Darmstadt Germany. She married to Frederick Delger in New York in 1848.

Ernestine, Frederick and their first born child Matilda set out for California by way of Cape Horn in 1852 and arrived in San Francisco in January 1853.

Her husband was one of the founders of Mountain View Cemetery in 1863. He has a Gothic mausoleum, complete with spire and stained glass window in the cemetery. It stands at the crest of the hill known as Millionaires Row. Ernestine is probably in the mausoleum with him.

Ernestine and Frederick had four children: Matilda who married Captain John Brown; Anna ‘Annie' who married William Moller; Edward Frederick and Lillian who became noted Freudian psychoanalyst Dr Lillian Powers and who married first Harry Trowbridge and second William John Sweasey Powers. She was the grandmother of noted industrial psycholgist and engineer Dr Lillian Evelyn Moller Gilbreth . She was the great-grandmother of Frank Bunker Gilbreth Jr and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey co-authors of ‘Cheaper by the Dozen' and ‘Belles on Their Toes'.
