Everybody who had met her, never forgot Christian's sister Wilhelmine (IX,7). She was called "Minele". She was handicapped, having curvature of the spine and being blind from childhood on. She lived in a home for blind people in Gmuend, where she learned knitting and needle-work. It was amazing what fine work she could do. Her excellent memory was also remarkable. She could remember the names and dates of birth of the most distant relatives. Children lived to listen to her stories. But most remarkable was the way she carried her lot. She, who could not see the light, has the gift to give light and sunshine to the people around her. She was just like her sister "Binele" a convinced Methodist.
Fritz's son, whose name was also Fritz (IX,9) was a stonemason. He took part in the siege of Belfort in the war 1870/71. Later he was a contractor in Regensburg. Two of his brothers and one sister emigrated to America: August and Wilhelm to Pennsylvania, Christine as the wife of and innkeeper to New Orleans.
Johann Georg was the other son of our ancestor Johann George who stayed in Weinsberg. He was farmer and wine-grower and together with his wife Christine (born Simon) he reached a certain wealth in spite.of his many children. His oldest son Fritz (IX,23) inherited his premises; he and his family were called the "Ochsenhaewwerle" (Haewwerle is the way the name Haeberlen is pronounced in the local dialect, Ochsen=oxen), probably because they used oxen instead of cows for their field work, maybe also because their house was next to a guest house called "Oxen". His brothers Heinrich (IX,24) and August (IX,25) also stayed in Weinsberg; Heinrich was called "Hofhaewwerle", because between his house and the street there was a big yard (Hof=yard), August was the "Metzgerhaewwerle" (Metzger=butcher).
The youngest brother, Gottlob (IX,29), formerly baker and innkeeper in Obereisesheim, is still alive, also the youngest daughter, Luise (IX,28), who is the widow of the notary Remppis in Reutlingen.
