Adolph Fiebiger

Edward J. and Adolph came to the United States A. from Austria in 1901 to Casselton, North Dakota, working at the Dalrymple farms and others in the area until 1909 when they came to Griggs County.

Edward started to batch on the Fred Drittenboss farm and married Annie Clemens.  Adolph continued as a bachelor.

Adolph worked for Edward Zimprich for a number of years and went to Casselton to get married to Mary Heinz who came to America in 1909 from Austria.  She was working at Casselton at Ed Webbers and the Henry Weudermans at Sabin, Minnesota Adolph Fiebiger and Mary Heinz were married October 21, 1915 at St. Leo's Catholic Church at Casselton.  They moved to the Joe Dusbabeck farm east of Binford where Albert Rickford now lives.  Elizabeth and Frank Fiebiger were born there.  In the fall of 1919 Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Fiebiger moved to the Ed.  A. Fiebiger farm and in the fall of 1923 to the Herbert Chamberlain farm now farmed by Bob Hedstrom.

On January 6th, 1927 Adolph Fiebiger's brother, Edward, passed away and Adolph and his family moved in the fall of 1927 to his farm, the former Fred Drittenboss farm.  Adolph Fiebiger Jr. still owns this farm.

Surely some of the many descendents of Edward F. Fiebiger and Mary Zimprich Fiebiger have written something about that family.  If not, they were married in 1907.  Edward was born at Mickelsdorf, Bohemia and came to America when he was 15.  Mary Josephine Zimprich was born on the original homestead of Edward Zimprich (Ed Schaak's farm currently) and raised there.  When they first were married they lived in Casselton, but moved to Tyrol in 1907.  For 7 years they lived on a farm near Aneta, and then moved back to Section 10 of Tyrol.

They raised 10 children: 

Mary (Mrs. George Peterson) Anne (Mrs. Quentin Dahl) Martha (Mrs. Martin Kuklok) Edward and Frank all of whom have Cooperstown addresses.  Ida (Mrs. Henry Heinze) of Grand Forks

 Florence (Mrs. Donald Gisvold) of Carrington

 Rose (Mrs. Joe Gruman) of Hannaford

 William of Arvilla

 and Richard of Jessie who was killed in an auto accident in 1955.

They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1957 at St. George Catholic Church in Cooperstown.
