Born: Schlesien, Germany (now Slask Poland)
From the Gabriel family that settled in Eudora Kansas. She was a sister to the pastors wife (Jacob May & Caroline Gabriel May) at Lyona at the time. Most likely how she met Adam Biegert.
GABRIEL
After an older half-brother inherited the family home, August Gabriel, the son of a blacksmith who died of typhoid fever and the oldest of seven, came to the United States from Pristram , Silesia, Germany. After several years, he sent for his brother, William, and sister, Henrietta, in 1860, also from Pristram. They entered the United States in New Orleans. William went to work at his trade of a Gabriel brothersblacksmith in Wyandotte for two years, while Henrietta washed dishes in an "eating house." August worked in Kansas City, Kansas, too, before he settled on a farm south of Eudora for which he got the deed in 1863. He dug a cave to live in until he could build a one-room house over it with lumber hauled by ox wagon from Kansas City, Kansas. The hauling trip took several days. August dug a well and planted trees near the house. After several years, when he had enough money, August sent for his other siblings: Traugott, Herman, Ernestine, and Caroline. August never married and died in 1916 of pneumonia complications. William Gabriel, born July 29, 1836, married Franziska Groh in 1867, and they moved to a farm four and one-half miles south of Eudora, a half mile west of August's. They had three sons and six daughters and attended the German Methodist Church.

Ernestine's sister Caroline was the wife of Lyona pastor Philip Jacob May, who served from 1862-64. Most likely, this was how Adam Biegert was introduced to Ernestine.
