      Gerhard emigrated alone from Germany when he was eighteen years old. He pioneered the way for his parents and nine other children to come to America a few years later.

      When he arrived, he was cautioned not to go to Nebraska. He was told it was the land of grasshoppers and snakes and that the government had to feed the people in order for them to survive. Nevertheless, he followed his dream and first located in Colfax County. He worked as a farmhand there and in Washington County. He then took his savings and bought a farm south of Leigh.[ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]
