  1. 8.  Johannes Gerhard Thevis was born on 9 Dec 1857 in Langbroich, Nordrhein-Westfalen (son of Jakob Thevis and Maria Gertrude Mertens); died on 12 Mar 1934 in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, USA; was buried in Saint Leo's Cemetery, Lafayette, Acadia Parish, Louisiana, USA.

    Notes:

    In 1867 , Rev. Peter Leonard Thevis, a native priest of Langbroich, Germany , was asked to come to New Orleans by Archbishop Jean-Marie Odin, maily because of the large number of German immigrants there.
    It was on January 13 , 1880 that Fr. Thevis, accompanied by his brother Peter Joseph Thevis, his nephew, John Gerhard Thevis and Herman Grein, came on this railway to Rayne, and to the prairie land three miles north of Rayne to look over the area. The site selected for the future colony was known as "Roberts Cove" named for Benjamin Roberts, the original owner of a Spanish land grant.
    Thereafter, thirteen families joined them in 1881 . These German Catholics were fleeing the Gangelt , Geilenkirchen district of Germany to avoid religious persecution and military impressments. Fr. Hennemann, OSB, of the Benedictine order, purchased land that included a house which served as both rectory and chapel and another building which served as a school house in the spring of 1883. The Benedictines helped to established the parish of St. Leo IV in 1885
    Roberts Cove was staunchly German until the World War One era when harsh anti-German wartime legislation initiated a decline of the German language and other cultural elements. Consequently, there are few remaining German speakers and relatively few overt manifestations of German culture yet the community is still viewed as a German ethnic enclave. [3]

    Culture
    Roberts Cove is known for its annual GermanFest in October . The event is held the first weekend in October at St. Leo's Catholic Church. [4] Visitors are treated to local German food, heritage and genealogy. German singing and German Folk dancing performed by descendants from 8 to 80 years old are special attractions. [5] The Roberts Cove German Heritage Museum is open for visitors. [6]
