Furrer Family Lives in Wila Since 1800
Why this is here: The Furrer family’s documented history in Wila extends back to 1821, visible through their preserved family tree.
The Furrer family has lived in Wila, Switzerland since at least 1800, working as carpenters, community members, and neighbors. For generations, they shaped the village through their trades and local involvement. Ernst Furrer describes the family’s work ethic as “We talk little and work a lot.”
Family members gather for card games and maintain a family tree dating back to 1821. This illustrates their long-standing connection to the place. The family’s carpentry business now operates with new ownership outside the family.
The article notes a shift in ownership of the carpentry shop, but does not detail how this change impacts the family’s role in Wila. Their continued involvement in the community remains an open question as time passes.
