Anna Barbara Staeheli (Tobler)

Pioneer Company DB [Not listed!!] | Pedigree | FamilySearch Record

The story is that she knew Jacob Tobler in Switzerland, comforted him after his first wife died at Winter Quarters, and married him when Brigham Young encouraged the single men to marry before going down to settle Santa Clara.

Exceptional woman and Saint.

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.
