When Alexander was about 18, he was serving in the German army. Coming home one evening he saw two Mormon Elders Preaching on the street corner and stopped to listen to them. He became very interested in what they were saying and started to go to their meetings, not telling his folks about it. He accepted the Gospel and was baptized in 1878. His folks were very angry and disowned him. Being turned out of his home and without friends, he decided the only thing he could do was to go to America to Zion, so he deserted the army, and leaving on foot he set to get a ship for America. When he was missed my the army, soldiers were sent out on horseback to find him. Once he saw them coming and hung with his hands to the girders of the bridge as the 3 • • • horses thundered over it. Another time a lady hid him in a pile of dirty clothes as they searched the house. He finally reached the docks and gained permission to work his way over. He came to Logan, Utah and worked on the Temple for several years. Here he met and married Emma Ramsauer, who was born Jan. 6, 1858 at Herisau, Sprenzell, Switzerland . She died Mar. 25, 1922 in Logan, Utah. A son, Marcus Nepomuk was born Dec. 1, 1883. A daughter was born, Martha, who died in infanpy. On Nov. 20, 1879, he married Elizabeth Fankhauser from Wichtrach, Bern, Switzerland. She was born Sep. 20, 1860. She died March 2, 1937 at Logan Utah. About this time the civil authorities were hunting for all those living in polygamy and putting them in the penitentiary, so Grandmother Elizabeth went to Clarkston and lived with some friends, the Sparks. Here her first baby, Helena, was born Dec. 28, 1880. (End of first page-taken from Grandmother Neuberger's history) The following l.S information given her Fankhauser Neuberger: written by her by Lula Turner from grandmother, Elizabeth Elizabeth returned to Logan and lived with Emma, the first wife, called "Danta" which means "auntie" in german. Elizabeth's second baby was born 16 Dec. 1882. She lived only 6 months. Soon after this, Alex and Elizabeth managed 4 l7C/ • • • the eating place where all the railroad men ate. She liked to watch Mr. Killalay who had charge of the big water tanks. She would recite long _poems and the men would enjoy listening to her. Elizabeth's younger sister came to visit her. A romance followed, and Rosa and Alex were married June 19, 1884. Alex took his young wife to Eureka 23 May 1885. Elizabeth went back to Logan and lived with Danta. Soon after built them one. this, Alex and Rosa moved back to Logan, and he a frame home about a 1/2 block from the other Elizabeth's third baby was born 9 June 1884. They named her Luella. About this time the government authorities were arresting all the men living in polygamy. It was a hectic life, always afraid of being taken to prison. Nellie was never permitted to eat with the family. If a knock would come on the door, Alex would hide upstairs and Nellie would sit in his place. The police searched their home several times but didn't find him, but the last time they found him and he was taken to the penitentiary for nine months. It was necessary to divorce Rosa, But soon after his return the feeling of polygamy died down and he remarried her. Alex returned to Germany a few years after he arrived here to make a reconciliation with his family, but they would not even speak with him. He went back on two missions 5 • • • for the church, but they wouldn't speak to him until the last time. They talked to him then but still wouldn't acknowledge him as their son. When his father died in 1900, he didn't share in his will . This hurt him deeply, because with his large family and three wives, it would have been a blessing to him. He said it hadn't made her rich, but she said she was rich because she had peace of mind, and that is the richest thing we can possess. She was with us for two weeks when jackie was born, and her presence influenced us and our lives. She did an enormous amount of genealogy. She and rosa obtained hundreds of names from Switzerland, their homeland, and had all the work done for them that was possible to do • Donta died Mar. 25, 1922 Elizabeth died 2 March 1937 at the age of 77. Rosa died 23 January- 1953 at the age of 86. Grandfather was a high-spirited fellow. He had a pair of horses which he hooked to a little single buggy, and he always drove at high speed through the town. They called him the "Flying Dutchman."
