Biography	Louisa Thalmann Hasler was born on August 26, 1843 to parents Heinrich Thalmann and Ana Thalmann in Dussnang, Thurgau, Switzerland. Louisa’s father passed away when she was four years old on September 15, 1847. Louisa married John Hasler on May 14, 1869. Louisa was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 25, 1868. The family emigrated from Switzerland to Utah, settling in Mt. Pleasant in September 1869. Their first son, Henry Hasler, was born June 14, 1870. On February 11, 1871 another son was born, but he died three months later. A baby girl was born on March 23, 1873. The family joined the United Order in 1875. Another son was born on January 31, 1875, and in 1877 another daughter was born, but she only lived eight months. On December 22, 1879 Emil Hasler was born. In 1880 John Hasler was called to serve a mission in Switzerland until 1882. Mina Otilia Hasler was born on August 13, 1883.

Abstract	Part of the Louisa Thalmann Hasler and John Hasler autobiographies, which is a thirteen-page typescript bound in a soft paperback. The autobiography begins by describing Louisa’s first memory- the death and funeral of her father. Louisa was very distraught when they carried away her father’s body. After his death the financial status of the family was quite dire and the Louisa had to work with her mother on the farm with no outside help. As a result, the children were overly protected and Louisa had less freedom to do, as she wanted. When Louisa first heard about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints she did not understand the missionaries and disagreed with the missionaries about the Bible. However, she finally accepted the gospel, was baptized, and made the trek to Utah. Louisa found Utah a very difficult place to live and worried about the family’s survival. In 1873 Louisa nursed John back to health and helped her sister give birth. Louisa served for thirty-two years in the Relief Society presidency in Mt. Pleasant.
