Notes


FROM DR. JOSEPH STIRNIMANN Official Judge Joseph Stirnimann and Anna Hüsler The Official Judge Joseph Stirnimann was the firstborn, oldest son of the Court Sargent Jakob Stirnimann, from which in the last year circular the speech was. The baptizing book of the parish Ruswil announces his baptism on 31 March 1706. It was this one first of our family, which received the baptizing or first name Joseph. Joseph remained from then on into the most recent time one of the most frequent and most popular baptismal names of the Ruswil Stirnimanns. The same meets too for the names Peter, Johann/Hans, Leonz, Sebastian, Jakob and Mo-ritz. Joseph Stirnimann married one of the two daughters of Hans Martin Hüsler and Anna Maria Bucher of Mittler-Hu-prächtigen on 22 February 1734 in the parish church Ruswil Anna Hüsler. Hans Martin Hüsler was the second son of Hans Jakob Hüsler in Ober-Huprächtigen. Hans Martin and his brother Joseph managed for a while together in the years 1709 and 1713 the three real estate properties acquired in Mittler- and Unter-Huprächtigen. In the year 1734 Joseph Hüsler in Mittler-Huprächtigen builds the masterful in the year 1990 baroque farmhouse again made by a thorough restoration in its original splendor. House of the Hüsler in Mittler-Huprächtigen in Nottwil At the gable of the main front one sees the coats of arms of Hüsler and the Bächler. In the coat of arms of the Hüsler the initials I and H (Joseph Hüsler) are, in the coat of arms of the Bächler the initials V and B (Verena Bächler, i.e. the wife of Joseph Hüsler). It is this the safe proof that Joseph Hüsler of the designers of this artful house was. In the case of a division, probably after the death of the father in the year 1717, or took over then Hans Martin Hüsler, Joseph's older brother received, the farm Mittler-Huprächtigen with its splendorous house. The 1734 in Mittler-Huprächtigen of Joseph Hüsler build house have in its space structure and in its art-rich configuration large similarity with in the year 1705 the principal house of the Stirnimann in the Rot in Ruswil, extended by Leonz Stirnimann. Wehave every reason to the acceptance that the only daughter Steuerle-gers recommended and placed Peter Stirnimann her husband Hans Jakob Hüsler grown up in the Rot and his sons the architect or designer of the principal house in the Rot. Principal house of the Stirnimanns in the Rot in Ruswil To the farm Mittler-Huprächtigen belonged to 130 Jucharten country and 16 Jucharten forest. Together with this farm Hans Martin Hüsler possessed still another second farm to the extent of 111 Jucharten in the Bühl in Nottwil. From after his death (1755) on 2 August 1755 we experience created division log that Hans Martin Hüsler's only son Jakob (1710-1776) of the cash asset of the father 13,550 gulden, the two daughters (the same Anna was, the wife of Joseph Stirnimann) a dowry of over 8,130 guldens inherited6. Joseph Stirnimann had 8 sons and 2 daughters from his wife Anna Hüsler. The two daughters Anna Maria (2/27/1735) and Anna Maria Elisabeth (9/14/1752) and the 3 sons Sebastian (7/4/1736), again Sebastian (1/22/1738) and Peter Paul (6/26/1741) died very early. Candle master or guardian of the candles Since the early Christian time germinates the church the regulation and practice that before the tabernacle, while the celebration the Eucharist, with donating of sacraments and with devotions candles burn. It was also usual that on the occasion of the celebration by year times wax, of which the candles are made was donated to the place of worship. Until the invention of electricity one provided in our dwellings and places of worship to the nighttime particularly with the help of the candles the necessarylight. The production and procurement of the necessary candles was, particularly in larger parishes, usually the obligation and function of the candle administration or candle Kerzen-Pflegschaft, which the candle master or guardian of the candles managed. This was in Ruswil the case. The there parish archive keeps two invoice books of the parish church for the years 1628 to 1834, which together with the other offices of the parish, an exact list every two years of the candle master who can be acknowledged who can be selected again contains. This list acknowledged that Joseph Stirnimann was selected from 1756 to 1764 every two years to the candle master or acknowledged as such, from 1760 to 1764 he is at the same time called official. Guardian of the St. Eulogius Brothers The Brothers of church associations calling promoted themselves the religious life and customs, they sat down for the admiration of their patron saint, it was above all karitativ active, by themselves, the patient, who old persons and dying assumed and provided for a worthy funeral of such persons. Each Brother had usually called who administered above all the fortune the Brother's chief, guardian. The Brothers experienced since the 16th century in our areas a bloom time. So Ruswil had 16 Brothers in the year 1701. The same was the St. Eulogius or St. Eligius Brother. The holy Eulogius or Eligius was in the years 641-660 bishop von Noyon in the realm of Franconias. It was considered particularly as the patron saint of the blacksmith and the farmers, whichcalled them with horse diseases, the horse dealer and sattler. Joseph Stirnimann was as it were safe since 1764 and up to his death guardian of these Brothers. In the years 1780 to 1801 in Ruswil the today's splendorous parish church was built. The building book mentions among the numerous donors and benefactors four times the "honoring Stuerleger and guardian Joseph Stirnimann", the "outer Brothers of the holy Elogi" to the building of churches the following three money counted: Official Judge The highest and most honorable office, which provided Joseph Stirnimann, was that of the Official Judge. It as such mentioned in the directory of the candle masters in the years 1760-1764 and in the directory of the guardians of the St. Eulogius Borthers in the years 1764-1768.

FROM DR. JOSEPH STIRNIMANN

Official Judge Joseph Stirnimann and Anna Hüsler
The Official Judge Joseph Stirnimann was the firstborn, oldest son of the Court Sargent Jakob Stirnimann, from which in the last year circular the speech was. The baptizing book of the parish Ruswil announces his baptism on 31 March 1706. It was this one first of our family, which received the baptizing or first name Joseph. Joseph remained from then on into the most recent time one of the most frequent and most popular baptismal names of the Ruswil Stirnimanns. The same meets too for the names Peter, Johann/Hans, Leonz, Sebastian, Jakob and Mo-ritz.

Joseph Stirnimann married one of the two daughters of Hans Martin Hüsler and Anna Maria Bucher of Mittler-Hu-prächtigen on 22 February 1734 in the parish church Ruswil Anna Hüsler. Hans Martin Hüsler was the second son of Hans Jakob Hüsler in Ober-Huprächtigen. Hans Martin and his brother Joseph managed for a while together in the years 1709 and 1713 the three real estate properties acquired in Mittler- and Unter-Huprächtigen. In the year 1734 Joseph Hüsler in Mittler-Huprächtigen builds the masterful in the year 1990 baroque farmhouse again made by a thorough restoration in its original splendor.

House of the Hüsler in Mittler-Huprächtigen in Nottwil
At the gable of the main front one sees the coats of arms of Hüsler and the Bächler. In the coat of arms of the Hüsler the initials I and H (Joseph Hüsler) are, in the coat of arms of the Bächler the initials V and B (Verena Bächler, i.e. the wife of Joseph Hüsler). It is this the safe proof that Joseph Hüsler of the designers of this artful house was. In the case of a division, probably after the death of the father in the year 1717, or took over then Hans Martin Hüsler, Joseph's older brother received, the farm Mittler-Huprächtigen with its splendorous house.
