"Dad [Jacob Beller] had five brothers. Chris was a Mennonite preacher and he run away from the army & came to Nebraska. He had 4 children. Two girls & two boys. The oldest one [of Jacob's brothers?] died at 14 & the youngest one died 3 months after he was married and another brother named Joe came to America & had one girl & he died. Another brother Andrew had only one daughter & she had two children & Gen visited them in Paris. So John is not accounted for and I don't know about his family or if he had any boys. Peter never married." Katie Beller Dilts, Hesston, Kansas, 24 June 1973. Letter to Roberta P. Witteman, Nampa, Idaho, pages 7A and 7B. A photocopy of this letter was sent by Roberta P.

    Chris Beller, born September 1, 1856, and wife Rosie (Newhouser), born 1859, with children Joseph, Andrew and Annie came to America in about 1889-1890 settling first in Seward County [Nebraska] and then to Hamilton Township in the Spring of 1892. The fourth child, Emily, was born that summer in July. Chris had been ordained as a minister in France, but was reluctant to serve at Salem in that capacity. . . One month later on August 12 [1909], he passed away from Tuberculosis an ailment from which he had been suffering for the past years.
