the Staeheli Family of Guebsenmoos

This blog is for descendants of Caspar Albert Staeheli and his wife Maria Staeheli of Guebsenmoos, Straubenzell, St. Gallen Switzerland. They arrived in the United States on March 23, 1899 with 12 of their 13 children. Their eldest son arrived in the U.S. in 1898 and a fourteenth child was born in the United States. This site is for a dialogue among descendants of Albert and Maria Staeheli. Additionally, there are two websites with permanent documentation of the Staeheli family.

Spokane Visit with Dad

Monday, October 19, I drove to Spokane to visit dad. We planned to take photos of family sites in the area and then drive to the Seattle area to meet other Staeheli's. I arrived at his home about 3 PM and we drove to Pines Cemetery nearby to take photos of my mother's niche in the mausoleum, dad's half sister, Carol's,

headstone, his stepmother, Lola's headstone and the marker for my sister's son, Saul. We then drove to Coeur D'Alene where we looked up gravesites of other relatives. We located the headstone of Mary Staeheli and her daughter, Rose. We also found the stone of Louis, the youngest of the Staeheli's, and his wife Verna.
