Born in Alsoillmic (Illmitz) in Hungarian Moson County. (after 1921, and a change of borders, Illmitz is now in what is known as the Seewinkel or Lake Corner, in the north of Burgenland, AUSTRIA)
-----------------------
Theresia Gruber immigrated in 1888, at the age of nine, with her parents, John (Janos/Johannes) and Maria (Gartner) Gruber, from Alsoillmic (Illmitz) in Hungarian Moson County. They first settled around New Brighton, Ramsey County, MN. Before 1900 they moved to North Dakota; first to Springvale Township in Barnes County south of Oriska, then near Foxholm in Ward County.
While her family was living in Barnes County, Theresia worked as a housekeeper for the Levi Owens family in Tower City.
Theresia Gruber married in Barnes Co., ND in Sept., 1900 to Frank Baumgartner (son of Stephen and Anna Buerger Baumgartner), who was a close neighbor to her family in Springvale Township. The newlyweds moved to the farm near Foxholm, ND , where their five children would be born over the next seven years.
Theresia filed for a homestead in her name near Foxholm, in Kirkelie Township of Ward County, ND, for which she made final proof in Nov. 1905. It was a 148-acre farm in Section 6 of Twp.156N Range 84W. They also purchased another 109 acres in the NW quarter of Section 7 adjoining their original farm.
Theresia was active in the St. Mary's Catholic Church of Foxholm, and was a member of the Tin Altar Society.
On Nov. 20, 1908, Theresia's husband Frank died in a tragic accident, leaving her a widow with five small children. She continued to farm near Foxholm, with the help of her brothers, until about 1930. At that time, she and several of her adult children relocated to Canada at St. Walburg (Bolney area), in Saskatchewan, joining her father, who had relocated there after her mother died in 1927.
At the age of 65, Theresia Gruber Baumgartner died at the farm near St. Walburg in 1944 as a result of an infection from a broken arm. At that time, her brothers and sons returned to North Dakota.
