Additional research shows Jacob born in Kirchdorf, Bern, Switzerland and parents were Jacob Hertig and Ana Janeter, married about 1839 in Oberhofen, Bern, Switzerland. Maria Ana was born in Langenbuhl, Bern, Switzerland and her parents were Christian Wenger and Elisabetha Wenger. It was always thought that Jacob died and was buried in Iowa, but apparently he moved to Oregon late in his life where he died 10 March 1902 and is buried in West Chehalam, Oregon near Newberg. Does this help anyone to provide more infomation on this family?
