Jacob Tobler
Pioneer Company DB | Pedigree | FamilySearch Record
Came across with the Sixtus E. Johnson Company (1861), a wagon company. His first wife (Anna Katharina Preisig) died in Nebraska (Winters Quarters). Anna Barbara Staeheli, who had known him in Switzerland, comforted him during this time. When Brigham Young advised the single men to marry before embarking down to Santa Clara, Jacob married Anna Barbara Staeheli (our ancestor).
Jacob and Barbara (as she was called) were both stalwart, good-hearted saints.

Kasper (Casper, Caspar) Gubler
Pioneer Company DB | Pedigree | FamilySearch Record
The Hunt4Gubler site has a fair amount of information on Casper. Here is a very brief summary:
Kasper (Casper) Gubler was from a family of 15 children (7 dying young) and orphaned at the age of 15. He was baptized at the age of 19 in Zurich and traveled as a handcart pioneer in the Evans (6th) or Christensen (7th) Company [most likely the Evans based on his descriptions of the journey]. He eventually settled Santa Clara with other Swiss Saints:

One story involves Samuel Stucki, another direct ancestor (father of John Stettler Stucki):
The story is told of Samuel Stucki walking to Cedar City to earn money for food, leaving what little there was for his family. When he was about fifty miles from home, he met Casper Gubler, one of his neighbors, who was driving home from a trip north. Samuel was so dizzy from hunger that he could scarcely walk. When Casper saw him reeling along the road, he called out and asked if he were drunk. Samuel replied, "Only hungry, I've had nothing to eat for three days." At that Casper gave him bread and meat to strengthen him for his further journey. (As related by his daughter, Mary Ann Hafen)
