Johann Dittli is an Uncle to Albin Dittli. He is a son of Johann Joseph Maria Albin Dittli and Anna Maria Helena Indergand.
Johann became a state forester. He died in 1915 while in the Swiss army, during WW 1. He didn't die do to combat as Switzerland was not in the war. He had one of the longest funerals ever known in the town of Silenen. A whole battalion of soldiers came. Johann was the first man to build a concrete bridge across the river in the neighborhood of the farm, that is he was instrumental in having it built. Originally there was A very rickety old bridge that led to Silenen. It was wood and shook as you used it, and there were holes in its floor. Uncle Johann was a state forester then. The bridge made Silenen within easy access to the farms of the area. We went to church and school in Silenen. He was also president of the landrod, one of the governing bodies of Canton Uri. In the army he occupied the office of top sergeant, and died in this office from a heart attack. He was always a restless man, on the go. His wife was Barbara jauch, whom he married on 18 October 1907. They had six children
