• Notes

  Magdalena Mettler (nee Leuthold) was born February 3, 1813. She died November 5, 1895 in Ceres, Iowa. She is buried in the city cemetery in Guttenberg, Iowa. Magdalena and Dr. John Mettler had 11 children (ten daughters and 1 son). Two of her uncles, named Meyer, made the first ascent of the Jungfrau, a 13, 671 foot peak of the Bernese Alps, in 1811. "Dr. John Mettler came from Blumenstein, Switzerland, in the Canton of Berne, with his family in 1853. They left Switzerland, went to Le Havre, France, sailed for New York in a three masted ship. They were several weeks on the ocean. My mother, Catherine Mettler Stoecker, told us an infant sister died at sea. Grandmother didn't want her cast into the sea so pretended to nurse her, mimicking her cry. I don't know if she succeeded in this or not. They first went to Preston, Canada West. Grandfather(Dr. John Mettler) had been born and reared in the republic of Switzerland so after a time he decided to come to the United States because he resented being under the rule of England. They moved to New Philadelphia in Tuscarawas County, Ohio and later they came to Cottage Hill, Iowa, where grandfather Mettler died and is buried. Grandmother lived with her children in her later years. She spent many years in my home. We all loved her. Here she died November 5, 1892, after one week's illness at the age of 79 years. She is buried in city cemetery Guttenberg, Iowa." From: Descendants of Dr. John Mettler and Magdalena Leuthold Mettler Compiled by Martha Stoecker Norby 1955 Find A Grave
