Excerpts taken from Marsh, Montana, Remembering The Yesteryears
1910-1997:
p. 131: "The oldest son, Gottlieb G. Gaub, or "G.G." as he is known,
was born November 22, 1903 in Gluckstal, South Russia. He worked for
his father on the family form until World War I...." There are several
pages of G. G. Gaub and his family.
p. 162: "I, " [Magdalena, nee Hein, Gaub, wife of G G. Gaub], "came
to the United States with my parents, Ludwig and Christina Hein, in
1910 when I was four years old." Evidently this story was taken from "Wheels
Across Montana Prairies".
"I remember a few stories about my aunt Maggie," wrote Judy A.
Remmick-Hubert. "One I remember the most was the story about her passage
on the Main from German to the USA. The family traveled first class
and the captain and the crew treated the four year old Maggie as though
she were a princess." The family did not land in New York, however,
as she has indicated in several articles, they landed in Philidelphia
and from there they saw the Worlds Fair in Chicago where they tasted
their first ice cream and bananas. After seeing some of the US they
traveled by train to Kulm, ND where Maggie's mother's family, the
Schweikerts [changed to Schweigerts] had migrated earlier."
"When Maggie's parents moved to their ranch, Maggie and G. G. Gaub,
remained on the Hein farm which was ten miles south of Marsh, MT....After
the flood in 1929 they moved to G. G. Gaub's farm where they lived until
1950 when they moved to Terry, MT...." continued Judy A. Remmick-Hubert.
In the Memorial card of Maggie, these words were written:
Magdalena Gaub, 81, of Terry, passed away March 2, 1987 at Holy Rosary
Hospital in Miles City of an apparent heart attack.
She was born Jan. 18, 1906, in Borodino, Bessarabia, Russia, the daughter
of Ludwig and Christina Schweikert Hein...
Magdalena loved to bake for any community event and for the church. She
ejoyed knitting and crocheting. She loved having her family home at all times
and wanted them to remember her for the love of her Lord..
"Survivors included...25 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren."
