Biography
The earliest known ancestor of the Showalter line is Hans Schonwalder, first found in the Strengelbach area in the Canton of Bern, now Aargau, Switzerland near Zofingen, half way between Luzern and Basel. According to Heinrich Fehr, a “schonwalder” is a man who lives in a protected forest, that is, a forest which is not cut for wood or timber but is protected so as to act as a barrier to catch and hold the snow in case of an avalanche.
