General Notes: Husband - Christian Geibel

---

He was born in Puettlingen, Germany, where he followed the occupation of a tailor. For reasons of health he decided to emigrate to America, and accordingly, in 1837, set sail, arriving at Baltimore, Maryland, after ten weeks spent on the water. He celebrated his first Fourth of July while on this voyage. By stage coach he traveled to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and lived there about ten or twelve years, during this time working in the coal mines. He then purchased one hundred acres of land at Carbon Center, Summit township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, located on this property and there spent the remainder of his life. German was the language generally employed by them, as their English was broken. They were devout members of the Catholic church.
