Luginbuhl, Gilgeni Family - Luginbuel Funeral Home

the Cash settlement became part of the Bolivar outlying community.
Ed. F. Bates lists Jake Myers and Chris Luginbyhl among Bolivar pioneers
"who never failed to answer the roll call in time of danger." Jacob "Jake"
and Mary Lingle Myers, daughters Juretta and Delilah, along with Jake's
cousin, Amos Myers, arrived in the new town in 1852-1853 from Indiana. They
settled west of Bolivar. Jake died while in the Confederate Army; and his
widow married cousin Amos.
Christian "Chris" and Peter "Pete" Luginbyhl were born in Switzerland but
grew up in Ohio where their father farmed, owned a saw mill, and had a lumber
business. Pete was the more adventurous. He and their brother John were
married in Missouri then they and Chris settled near Omaha, Nebraska. All was
well until Pete heard about Texas. John had seven children by then so stayed
in Nebraska; but Pete, his wife and daughter, and Chris arrived in Bolivar
in early 1859. They not only bought farms but helped operate the saw mill.
Being master carpenters, they also helped build homes, barns, and businesses
in the new town. After Christian Luginbyhl married Juretta Myers on November
20, 1869, the Myers family moved closer to Denton and Pete took his family
off to the Arkansas Ozarks. Chris and Juretta settled on a farm just south
of Bolivar on what is now Luginbyhl Road. Their nine children were born
there as were the children of their son Philo Alexander and Vira Viola
(Simpson) Luginbyhl. Some still live in the area; and a number of Luginbyhls
are buried in Bolivar Cemetery.
Census of 1860 listed Christian (Lookenbill) as living in the same household as his brother, Peter Lookenbill, his age
as 27 and estimated birth as 1832.
