Here's a quote (translated from German) from a "history" written by my great grandfather when he was about 90. "I, Rudolf Huber, was born on 5 April 1838 in Fehraltorf, Kanton Zurich, Switzerland. I was baptized in the Reformed Church on 16 April 1938. I was confirmed in the year 1855. I was married on 19 January 1863. My wife, Barbara Emilie Huber, maiden name Furrer, was born on 18 January 1841 in Pfaffikom, Zurich, Switzerland, and was baptized on 24 January 1841. She died on 16 February 1919. I have been a member of the Methodist church since the year 1862." They came to the USA in 1873, had worked their way to Texas (via NY, Baltimore & Indianapolis) by 1876 & were Methodists until his death in 1936, at age 98 in Dallas. Looks like he may have "converted" to Methodist because that's what his wife to be was.
