• Notes

  Joseph Anton, the second son of Adam Stirnimann, was first a farmer on his father's farm and taught the children of the Ohmstal comprehensive school, probably during the winter months. The fellow citizens entrusted the able man with the office of poor carer and mayor. In 1840 Joseph Anton leased the Riedbruggmühle in Ettiswil with the associated farm (112 Juch. Land and 8 Juch. Forest). On June 9, 1842, he acquired the mill and property for Gl 49,000 (= CHF 65,333). In 1852 he bought the neighboring home Riedbrugg (2 years old) for 7,000 Gl. Joseph Anton had five children from his first wife, Anna Maria Frey, and fifteen children from his second wife, Maria Josepha Kneubühler. Most of the sons (listed on Plate V of the Chronicles) and daughters grew up and were distinguished by their ability in life and work. Three sons from Riedbrugg emigrated to America, two of them have disappeared there. Persecuted by misfortune and misfortune, Joseph Stirnimann had to sell one piece of land after another. In 1867 he sold the Riedbrugg property after moving to 42 Juch. hadshrunk, on 8.
