He was referred to as "Adam" to differentiate between himself and his older brother John. Adam was always called "Schnaepper Johnny" because he stammered. About middle age, he was kicked by a horse, which made him lame in one hip and he walked ever afterwards with a cane. He and his wife moved to the vicinity of Smithville, OH in 1878 or 1879. Some of their children were already living there. [History of the Gerberich Family in America]

He and his wife also had four other children who died in infancy.
