Heinrich was known for much of his life by the Spitznamen of Dach Grabbler Schreiber. Conrad Brill explains Heinrich's nickname:
Dach Grabbler (roof climber) Schreiber married my aunt, one of the six Derr sisters. He was so named for sleep walking. He was found crawling on the roof fully asleep. They sold their five dusch land allotments to the Adam’s family in 1912 to help raise money for their passage to the USA.
Heinrich and Louisa were parents to at least 9 children.
The Schreiber's immigrated to the United States in 1912 and settled in Portland, Oregon.
