There is a WWI registration (12 Sep 1918) for John Peter Gerbier of France,
born 23 June 1873. He is in a mental hospital in Dodge County, Wisconsin.
His condition on the record is listed as "insane." Unfortunately I cannot
make out the name of the town or name of hospital.

The person you found in Mississippi may be Jean Francisco Gerbier of
Fribourg, Switzerland. He arrives via Ellis Island in 1904.
