In that year (1775) his father Augustin Stirnimann (1731-1805) acquired the Sitenmoos farm, which owned 35 Jucharten, after he had been tenant of the castle property in Buttisholz, presumably seven years. Augustin's cradle was in the Unter Roth in Ruswil,in the ancient double house now inhabited by the Muff family. This oldest preserved house of our family, in which our ancestor Peter Stirnimann-Bircher took up residence around 1610, is the parent house, to a certain extent the cradle of our entire Ruswil and Neuenkircher family. |
