Bavaria was one of the main regions from which Jews came to America, and Bibergau was one town from which Jews left. By 1867, among 549 population of Bibergau, only 91 Jews (17% of the population) remained. At this time, in fact from the 1820’s to about 1880, Jewish immigration into the US almost entirely was made up of immigrants from Germany. Bibergau, which means “Beaver District,” is a few miles east of the larger town or city of Wurzburg, in Bavaria. Wurzburg had been a principal Jewish community since the year 1000 CE.
They had elephants, menagerie, ring performers and everything else comprising a circus. It often took a day and a half to disembark and set up the show. In addition to the Yiddish name given to her at her birth, Jandel had two other personal names in her life. In the United States, she was known by the name Henrietta . For clarity and continuity, I will refer to her only as Henrietta. Simon and Fanni were married for 36 years and had 11 children, born in the years 1829 to 1845.

From casket choices to funeral flowers, we will be there to assist you through all aspects of the funeral service, and thereafter. Henrietta’s first grandchild, Bettie and Jim’s daughter Henrietta Jane Witherow was born July 18, 1874, at Waggaman, La. The following year, Henrietta’s first grandson Joseph Francis Witherow was born in December 1875. Did the new grandmother, perhaps with her daughter Jennie, make trips to Waggaman to help the new mother and cuddle the new babies? Given that Bettie was only 16 years old at the birth of her first child, I suspect that she did. Perhaps Henrietta wrote to her mother Fanni about Fanni’s American great-grandchildren.
Her family was from another Bavarian town named Oettingen. With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Lloyd Bartley of Tompkinsville, Kentucky, who passed away on July 3, 2022 at the age of 87.

Many times she had said she wanted all the people to be free and work for themselves like she did. There were about 100 acres cleared; mostly the property was woods. Henrietta’s was the only white family living on Island 102. Henrietta hired black people, including Washington West and Thomas Staten, to cut wood from her property and she had a big wood yard at her place from which she sold wood to citizens’ boats. Mr. Fisher, a white man, was keeping the landing for her. On Island 102, Henrietta lived on her own place, bought before her husband died.
FUNERALS
Government documents agree that Mrs. Bauer’s husband died before the war, but seem to know only the name Bauer, not Smith. Jewish settlers also came to the Vicksburg and Millikin’s Bend area. They came overwhelmingly from German areas, such as Bavaria, Baden, Alsace-Lorraine, but also Prussia. Simon Geissberger, born about 1790 in Bibergau, was the son of Marx and Jenta Geissberger. Marx Geissberger, born about 1750, had been about 40 years old when Simon was born.

On March 20, 1826, nine months after Bessla’s death, Bessla’s younger sister Kehla, from Gunzenhausen, married Simon in Bibergau. At that time, Simon was about 35 years old, and his bride Kehla, about 25 years old. Sadness hit the family only a few months later, with the death of Low Griebel, 8 years old, in November of that year.
Our grief support programs in place are dedicated to helping you during your difficult time and making each day a little easier for you when a loved one is lost. Needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding. The one document connecting Moses and Henrietta Geisenberger to Bibergau is a family Bible containing a birth entry for Moses. That entry, made no earlier than 1857 but perhaps much later, records Moses Geisenberger’s birth in May 1816 in Bibergau. The same Bible records Henrietta Geisenberger’s birth in 1820 in Traustadt. No father’s name is given in the Bible for Moses or Henrietta.
