Rosine Just (Jung) & Jakob Just

family history and other Just families Australia & New Zealand

Rosine Just nee Jung 1831-1909 and Jakob Just 1818-98 arrived 1855 colony of Victoria, Australia with child Emile. Rosine was from St.Imier, Jura region of canton Berne, western Switzerland. Jakob was from near Maienfeld on Rhine, canton Graubünden, eastern Switzerland; carpenter and cabinet maker and had been at St. Imier working on construction of a church. They married 1850 at Corgément, near St.Imier, and lived in region.

Rosine Just (Jung)
         


They arrived Victoria 21 May 1855 ship Gertrude sailed from Dieppe, France, with others "French". They landed or promptly went to Geelong where many Swiss from around Neuchâtel, not far from St.Imier, had settled.


Rosine, Jacob (became usual spelling) and Emile went before long to live at Steiglitz, a new gold town 26 miles north of Geelong. Jacob was miner and carpenter there and also for a time followed other gold rush moves. Rosine had with her from Switzerland a jeweller's eyeglass and occasionally worked at watch repairing. At Steiglitz six more children were born; James, Bertha, Pauline, Herman, Cecile, Aurel.


In 1874, with Steiglitz in decline, Rosine, Jacob and most of family moved to Geelong where Rosine, as Madame Rosina Just, had purchased wine licence and business of Pension Suisse, Swiss boarding house and restaurant, 9-11 James Street. About 1893 the business passed to others but 1898 Jacob still had half interest in the property. By then he, Rosine and Aurel resided 19 Pakington st, Geelong West, home Bienne, after the Swiss town near St.Imier.

Jacob died 1 July 1898, The Geelong Advertiser said widely known throughout the district, particularly amongst his Swiss compatriots. It said of Rosine on her death 18 Feb 1909 that she was an old and highly esteemed resident of Geelong West, her remains interred in the presence of a large gathering of sympathising friends from all parts of the surrounding districts, the pall supported by Messrs. J. Deppeler, A.H. Thetaz, F. Marrendaz, J. Harris, H.B. Hodges, H. King and R. and J. Guggar. Both bur Eastern Cem, Geelong.

ROSINE JUST (JUNG): PARENTS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, HOME REGION

The site author has photocopies of 12 letters to Rosine from members of her family in Switzerland 1865-76. They followed after Rosine re-established contact lost since her departure. The letters are in French but show a family commitment also to knowing German. The Jung family, especially Rosine's brother Hermann, is subject of much attention in Robert Félalime Saint-Imier et le Vallon de nos Ancêtres published 1998 in French (Editions Intervalles). By reference to the letters, Félalime, IGI, later Vic BDM etc, it can be seen as follows. Rosine's father was David Ludwig (Louis) Jung, tinsmith 1805-74 (son of Johannes Peter Jung). David was originally from Offenbach, near Frankfurt, state of Hessen (later part of Germany). He came into canton Fribourg on work tour. He married 1829 Euphrosine Susanne Mesey 1805-67 born at Morat (Murten), canton Fribourg, of a family there since 1547. According to Michael Casey tribalp, Euphrosine was dau of Johan Daniel Mesey 1760-1835 of Morat, lake inspector, m 1792 Anna Schori; Johan son of Niclaus Jacob Mesey 1733 m 1754 Magdalena Barbara Düncki; Niclaus son of Peter Mesey m Anna Margaret De Meyriez.

David Jung and Euphrosine lived first at Tramelan before moving into nearby St. Imier. David became active in St Imier public affairs including as member of town council. He was naturalised Swiss 1846 by the canton of Berne upon citizenship of the village of Kappelen. At Tramelan, Frederic Emanuel ("Fritz" of the letters?) was born 1830, (Albertine) Rosine was born 7 May 1831, Louise Euphrasine ("Anna" of the letters?) 1833, Marie 1835, Herman François (usually spelt "Hermann" in the letters) 13 October 1836, Charles 1839 and (Jean Jaques) Oscar 1840. Albertine was born 1845. Euphrasine 1829. Marie taught the trade of tailoress; 1859 married Philippe Félalime (Robert Félalime is their descendant). Charles was from 1867 a pastor at Porrentruy. In a letter, he reminisced about how in about 1853, he, Hermann and Fritz had been with Rosine and Just. Charles married Aurélie Bourguin 1867. By 1865 Albertine was a teacher at Cormoret in charge of the top girls' class. Later she moved to Neuveville, near Neuchâtel. Anna was a teacher and 1874 took charge of the French orphanage at Wabern near Berne. A letter to Rosine says her father met with Hermann in 1869 at Bâle where Hermann was for a meeting of the Workingmen's Association. The letters are from Charles, Albertine and her fiance Edouard Germiquet, and Anna.

 Rosine's brother, Hermann François Jung 1836-1901, watchmaker, emigrated to London 1854.

For some years he was close associate of Karl Marx with whom he was 1864 a founder of the First International (International Workingmen's Association). Hermann was corresponding secretary for Switzerland and often presided. More: First Int Archive; Marx to Jung letters 1860's; Riazanov ch ix; Steklov; Bax ch 2; Hist Lex der Schweiz; also Mehring ch 11, 13, 14 and IIS: Hermann Jung though these erroneously associate Hermann with Marx 1848 confusing him with Georg Jung of that time. Hermann parted ways with Marx after 1872 in disagreement with the new exclusion of anarchist and other non-Marxist elements. He retained his radicalism. Bax, who knew him later, described him as an extraordinary autodidact who made one of the most effective and rousing speeches in defence of socialism he ever heard.

By 1861, Hermann lived and carried on business at 4 Lower Charles St, Clerkenwell in London. He was murdered there 1901. The trial of the recently discharged French soldier eventually convicted was reported in The Times. The prosecution said Hermann was a quiet and peaceable socialist, much respected and of the Swiss Benevolent Society; it was attempted robbery. The accused said he was amongst four anarchists Hermann was instructing to murder the Tsar visiting France and that Hermann tried to recruit him to murder Mr Chamberlain (British Colonial Secy) as opposition to the South African war. He said Hermann attacked him with a piece of iron for refusing to agree and he knifed him in self-defence.

St. Imier is west of Bienne or Biel, and east of La Chaux-de-Fonds. Since 1866, it has been location of Longines watchmaking factory. In September 1872, it was Congress venue for an anarchist faction of the International which had support amongst Jura workers: see Kropotkin memoirs. See also St.Imier and Corgemont town web sites


JAKOB JUST: PARENTS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, HOME REGION

Guscha in canton Graubünden, where Jakob was born, was a small Walser village on steep slopes behind Maienfeld. This is the Maienfeld town web site today. Maienfeld and nearby was setting for Johanna Spyri's Heidi (1880).

Jakob's parents were Christian Just and Anna nee Kammerer (or Cammerer, per death record Jakob). Christian was a miller (per death record Jakob). He was born about 1785 and Anna about 1787 (per 1835 Census).

Timothy Philipp: Maienfeld page includes 1835 Census (Volkszaehlung) for the Landquart River Valley villages and surrounding areas. Timothy is descended from a Just of Jakob's Swiss region. The 1835 Census first listings 65-70 are Jakob, his parents and others who may include his brothers and sisters. The listing is "Jost", probably for a time a variant spelling. All other comparable entries in the 1835 census are Just, and the family at Guscha later was spelt Just. The 1835 Census shows at household Christian age 50, Anna g [nee] Kammerer age 48, Anna age 30 birthplace unknown, Chatrina age 28 birthplace Mailand, Anton age 25 birthplace Ruehtenschwort, Jakob age 16 birthplace Maienfeld, Margreth age 15, Christian age 12, Luzia age 7, Johannes age 1.

Anne Just and Nancy Reid, New Zealand descendants of Jakob, in a booklet written 1980, mentioned there being at Guscha carved on one of the ageless, substantial houses the date of construction and names of first owners: Jakob Just - Anna Justin 1748. David Shearer, an Australian descendant of Jakob, visited Guscha in 2006 and the marking he saw looks to be

iCOB iOST
ANNO iOSTiN
1742

Here pic of the marking taken by David Shearer, who went to Guscha with a group including Andreas Just, the last surviving person born in Guscha. The two last families to permanently live in Guscha were that of Andreas and that of his cousin Mathis Just. The Swiss army bought the family property at Guscha in 1966 and Andreas and family left in about 1967. Mathis and family left in 1969. David was told that in the 1300’s, the Just ancestors lived in the German speaking high country of canton Wallis (Valais). The inhabitants of the high country decided that there were too many people living in their area and drew lots to decide who would move away. Some went to Guscha, others to a little high up village in Italy - the only one where German is spoken in Italy. Guscha's heyday was in the mid 1800’s. They referred to themselves as The Republic of the Twelve Houses. They were quite isolated particularly in winter. They grew corn, wheat, potatoes, cauli, broccoli etc and ran sheep, geese, chickens, pigs, cows and goats. They made cheese. They hunted deer and mountain goat all year. Generally, they needed no money and had little. They would sell produce and buy necessities in Maienfeld.

A local newspaper report from some years ago which David Shearer was shown pic translates approximately thus.

Folk Festival in Guscha
This weekend in the former Walser settlement of Guscha above Maienfeld there will again be a joyful Folk Festival with much music and entertainment. First reference to Guscha is said to be in ancestral writing of 5 February 1366 stating its existence, and in the Register of Community Archives from 16 April 1517 to 1 December 1571, the Walser settlement is mentioned six times. The writer Anhorn reported in 1622 “It consists of a village of six houses and more stables below, and Guscha villagers were on the hill where the Anhorns were the night of 24 September 1622 of the Austrian invasion”. Guscha once had 170 inhabitants, but the population was never more. In 1969 the last Guschner ceased residence there and the Walser settlement ended. In 1974 the Pro Guscha Association was formed with 18 keen members. Guscha to them was threatened with decay. All the houses were restored and new life given them thanks to the initiative of the members. Once a year the Pro Guscha Association organises a joyful Folk Festival such as will be on this weekend.

BOOKLET BY ANNE JUST AND NANCY REID OF NEW ZEALAND

This booklet Emile and Annie Just and their family was passed in photocopy to site author years ago from other Just family source. It has pictures of Jacob and Rosine which have been adapted for this site and has provided some of the information about them and the Emile Just family of New Zealand. The booklet concludes
Contributions and assistance from many members of the family in New Zealand, and also in Australia and Switzerland greatly helped Anne Just and Nancy Reid compile this booklet which was typed by Sue Rule. "Waihi" 1980.


SWISS IN EARLY VICTORIA AND THE GEELONG VIGNERONS

Many Swiss came to Victoria during the term 1839-1854 of Charles Joseph La Trobe as Victoria's British Government Superintendent and subsequently Lieutenant-Governor, who had huguenot background and close personal links to the Neuchâtel region, a Prussian enclave to 1856. The Swiss presence was strong in Geelong region, where wine growing, founded mainly by settlers from near Neuchâtel, was thriving 1850-1875 and led the Victorian wine industry. Subsequently the industry collapsed in the region though many Swiss stayed. A book by John Tétaz, From Boudry to the Barrabool Hills: The Swiss Vignerons of Geelong (Aust. Sch. Publ. 1995) is very interesting - much of it comprises old Tétaz family letters to Switzerland. It includes the full Liste des Neuchâtelois appèlés par Charles-Joseph La Trobe de Montmollin, gouverneur de l'Etat de Victoria, pour y venir planter la vigne and a list of Swiss arrivals in the region by ship as found by the author. There is no reference to Rosine or Jakob Just but there is mention of the Pension Suisse. It had been in business by 1858. Louis Amiet, who had come from Boudry, ran it until death 1872 when his wife Marie took over. By 1894, it was kept by Auguste Thetaz (or Tétaz).

Geelong Advertiser June 5 1874 reported "The annual dinner of the Geelong Vingrowers Association is to be held this evening at the Swiss restaurant, James - street, when Madame Just will doubtless be able to show her cuisine can produce a banquet worthy of such an occasion".

Daryl Sefton, grandson of Pauline Sefton (Just), with wife Nini, revived the Geelong industry after 1966, Daryl is depicted at at greatoceanrd. See also Geelong Wine Growing Industry and Geelong virtualtourist.

A booklet by Lorraine Phelan The Geelong Swiss (Geelong Family History Group Inc 1995) includes entries on Jakob Just, Emile Just and families. There are also some references to the Just family in the W.J. Morrow Index (microfilm at State Lib Vic) to The Geelong Advertiser 1874, 1880-1. More generally, see also, Susanne Wegmann The Swiss in Australia (Rüegger, Switzerland, 1989). Many Swiss from canton Ticino, southern Switzerland (Svizzera), came to Australia about that time: further.

Emile Just

  

Emile Ulysse Just 1851-1937 b St Imier, Switz.

Became a school teacher. The booklet by Anna Just and Nancy Reid (see above) says:
"Midway through the year 1866 Emile started his teaching career as a pupil teacher at the Steiglitz School. Eighteen months later he moved on to the New Chum School ...
Emile then moved to the school at Creswick, before being appointed Head Teacher of the Common School No 1071, Beremboke, which he opened on the 5th September, 1870, at age of 19 ...
Emile gained his Certificate of Competency on 21 June, 1876 ... As a musician ... Emile was in great demand in the district."

It is found from booklet by Anna Just and Nancy Reid, supplemented at points from Cyclopedia of New Zealand 1903 and Vic BDM, that 1878 Emile married Annie Maude Adams b 1850 Woodford near Warrnambool, Victoria, child of William Adams and Caroline Hale m 1842 Melbourne. In 1879, Emile and family moved to Stafford, New Zealand, an ephemeral gold mining settlement of South Island west coast, near Greymouth, where Emile taught two years. They then moved to Christchurch, New Zealand, main city of South Island, where Emile taught at East Christchurch or Sydenham school until 1890. He became headmaster Lyttelton Borough School, near Christchurch. He was active in music and cricket circles, for instance by 1903 conductor of Lyttelton Orchestral Society; Secretary 1921-36 North Canterbury Council of Licensed Victuallers Assoc.

The name Just

The name Just has long occurred through most of continental Europe and the British Isles from where Just emigrants have introduced it to other parts of the world. The spread of location and across affiliations including Jewish and Christian hints at Jewish, Huguenot and Moravian Brethren dispersals over many centuries and into recent times. Names such as Juste, Justin, Jost, and Yost probably are variants, IGI suggests also Guest.

Pronunciation varies, probably mainly to prevailing regional language, though so far as the site author is aware, all those in Victoria, Australia of the originally Swiss family maintain "you - st".

 


Some other families name Just in Australia & New Zealand

These families are without known relation to the Just family of Swiss origin primarily subject of this site or to each other. If there is any relation, it appears it would lie in continental Europe before 1800.

Patrick Just 1809-79 & Marion Calman (Just) from Scotland, descendants

Friedrich Wilhelm Just b 1803 and Friedrike Christiane Henriette Schubert (Just) b 1813 and at least five of their children emigrated to South Australia, at least two of the sons late 1850's, the remainder of the family 1862. They were from Neumark Silesia (Neumark Schliesen), a German speaking region of the then country Prussia (region later part of Germany, now of Poland). Friedrich and Friedrike were born there, and married 1835. In South Australia, they went to Bethel; Friedrich, a farmer, died there 1869. Bethel is near Barossa Valley, north of Adelaide and then was mainly a farming community of German speakers of the Moravian tradition, more at home.earthlink.
Excepting for son Carl August Just who went to New South Wales, the children and many further descendants remained nearby or further north around Petersburg (including Dawson, Terowie, Parnaroo) where from 1875 the government released land for purchase; Friedrike died there 1889. In 1917 Petersburg was renamed Peterborough.
