Gertrude was born near Weston, Nebraska July 10, 1894, to Joseph and Christina (Fiedler) Hiltcher who had immigrated from the area of Moravia as had the Frank Stanislavs. The Hiltchers had four daughters, Emma, Gertrude, Ida and Gladys, and one son Herman. John and Gertrude had three children: Gertrude (1916-1964); John J. (1918); and Leo J. (1927). They have eight grandsons, three great-grandsons and 2 great-granddaughters.

As a young man, John had attended U.N. Business College, and had always had a desire to use this education. For a few years he was employed by a bank in Ceresco. Being a farmer at heart, he returned to farming near Ceresco and, in 1937, he and Gertrude and the two boys moved to Iowa, establishing a home near Blencoe, in Monona County. In 1938, Gertrude and Ignac also moved to this area. They are members of St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Blencoe. Gertrude is a member of the Rosary Society, John of the Knights of Columbus.
