Chronicle (Adelaide, SA : 1895 - 1954), Saturday 12 March 1910, page 45

Mr. Johann Christoph LIEBELT, one of the few remaining Hahndorf pioneers (writes a correspondent), died on Saturday afternoon.  Born in Germany in 1836, Mr LIEBELT arrived in Adelaide with his parents in 1838 by the ship Zebra (Captain Hahn), one of the vessels chartered by the late Mr. George Fife ANGAS on behalf of the persecuted Lutherans.  He was for years a shepherd, and his reminiscences of his early experiences were most interesting.  In 1849 he married his cousin, Miss Louise LIEBELT, who died some 12 years ago.     He left three sons (August, of Adelaide; Gottfried, of Natimuk, Victoria; and Gustav, of Fredrickstadt) [sic], two daughters (Mrs. T. PAECH and Mrs. G. THIELE, both of Hahndorf), and a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren.   Mr LIEBELT was a cheerful man, and in spite of his 84 years was fairly active.
