so bad that he had to resign. He emigratet to Pennsylvanya and found work in a mine in Latrobe, but had an accidant and broke his eg. But greater worries he had because of the mental health of his wife, a woman who was extremely pretty. She had to live in an asylum permanently. Her daughter Mary, who was a nurse, died young. We don't know anything about her son Jacob: he was a worker, went to the west and nobody heard of him anymore. The other son, John, who lost his leg in an accident, was a pleasant person and was loved by all his relatives. He died in 1935 leaving two sons and one daughter, who all seem to be well off. The father August, who lived with his brother in McKeesport, was a strong character and didn't break down in spite of all these strokes of fate.

His brother Wilhelm, a painter, became worker in an iron work. His marriage with an older widow stayed childless. Wilhelm and his wife were quite wealthy: they owned three houses in McKeesport. In the 1890`s they visited their relatives in Wuerttemberg, who didn't like the wife very much because she seems to have been very materialistic. In 1901 Wilhelm died of a poison which his wife had given him instead of medicine by mistake. In court she was found "Not Guilty" and her brother-in-law, August, who lived in her house at the time, said that she was so heart broken that for a long time he was very worried. Later she got married again to a German named Eisenhauer and visited her relatives in Wuerttemberg again.

The Haberlens in Pennsylvania were in close contact to each other, they didn't live far apart and often visited.
