ELISE WILLRICHThe subject of this sketch who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Emil Koehler, last Wednesday night, 16October 1907, was one of the old landmarks of Fayette County. For several years the good old lady was blind,and an invalid, during which time her devoted daughter, Mrs. Koehler, administered to her every want andcomfort. Death came to her peacefully, and amid the pleasant surroundings of a cheerful home. Her last yearswere one continual reign of darkness, through which only one ray of light crept - the kind devotion of her relativesand the hope that the allwise Creator would soon call her home. Thesummons came Wednesday and she responded cheerfully. She had attained the ripe old age of ninety-nine years,5 mons and 19 days. Mrs. Willrich, who was the only daughter of Major Kukuk of the English Army, HanovarianDivision, was born at Hanover, Germany on April 27, 1808. She was married to Judge Georg K. Willrich andfour children, two sons and two daughters, viz: Prof. Julius Willrich who resides at Bluff; Mrs. Gustav Groos ofSan Antonio, Otto Willrich and Mrs. EmilKoehler of Bluff, were the fruits of this union. The family came to Texas in 1847 and located in Fayette Countywhen the whole county was still in its infancy. Not only were her cares confined to the raising of her ownchildren, but also to the raising of six children of her husband by a former marriage. Of these all have died exceptMrs. Keuffel, who lives in Germany, and Mrs. John Vogt of O'Quinn. Beside her children, themselvesgrandparents, she leaves to mourn her loss twenty-three grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. Thefuneral took place Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the home of Emil Koehler, and the remains were followed tothe Lewis Cemetery by a very large number of relatives and friends who loved and honored her. May her rest bepeaceful.The Houston PostSunday, May 13, 1979Leon Hale"Mail from Mount Eliza to Germany"The last couple of days I've been reading the private mail of Elise Willrich, a remarkable woman who lived withher family in an extraordinary house, a few miles south of La Grange in the old Bluff community.She wrote the best letters. Listen to a few lines she penned to her father in Germany. These were written in 1848,after she had been in this country a year:"We have sold our slaves because they always ran away. It is said here that the Germans don't know how tohandle negroes - are often too good to them, and Willrich (her husband) above all. The black people, we are told,21

are often in need of whipping, and neither of us could stand for that. At present we have a hired negress andwhen the opportunity presents itself we want to buy two half-grown children, hoping they may learn to becomeattached to us."In this same letter she described to her father what a Texas winter was like, to a person who spent the first 30-oddyears of her life in northern Germany:"The winter here really doesn't exist, for the weather is very mild and only when a sudden norther arrives does itget unbearably cold, and then ice as thick as my finger forms in all the vessels containing water, and the waterholes from which we fetch it also have a crust of ice. However . . . it never lasts more than two or three days."Her father had evidently asked about the bread in Texas. She wrote:"The bread is both healthy and palatable, if correctly made. It is made of maize, generally called corn here, whichwe grind three times through hand mills set coarse or fine. After grinding we sift it . . . and then it is almost likeour wheat flour and can be used for cake and many other purposes . . . However it is troublesome to make breadin this way, for it has to be done three times daily, and invariably at the very moment when the hearth is alreadyfilled with pots and pans, and to these must be added two pots of bread with their lids filled with red-hotfirebrands, which throw off a terrific heat."That large hearth she mentions is, I am told, still intact in the old Willrich home. The house, called Mount Eliza,was considered roomy and grand when it was finished in the 1840s. It is of German "fachwerk" construction, thewalls framed in heavy timbers and filled in with stone and masonry. No one lives in the house now. It is ownedby Karl Thuemler, is on private property and not open to the public.Elise Willrich's letters from Mount Eliza provide considerable information about the practical side of pioneer lifein the mid-19th century Texas.It's astonishing to me that such a woman ever came to this state, and lived in pioneer style, making bread in ironpots on a stone hearth. Because in Germany she had been brought up in gentle ways. Her father was a GermanArmy officer, and she was accustomed to dancing and partying and social doings.But her mother wanted Elise to learn survival in the country. In what seemed later to be a prophetic move, themother sent Elise away from the bright lights for a year. She went to the country and learned to milk a cow, bakebread, kill a chicken, stuff sausage.But back in the city she married a judge, a widower with seven children, and had three of her own, and servants,and the good and easy life. They lived in Luneburg.The one day her husband, Georg Carl Willrich, sent his wife a shocking message. He had gone to Hamburg, andhad suddenly decided because of the political turmoil rising then in Germany, to move to Texas.He didn't even return home. He told Elise, in effect, "Break up the household. Bundle up the children. Bringwhat you can, sell the rest and follow me to Texas."She followed, on a sailing ship with that brood of children. Sixteen weeks at sea.In Texas, Fayette County, the roomy house that Elise Willrich found her husband building was the one that standsyet, by U.S. 77 about four miles south of La Grange. Elise lived in that house until her death. She was almost100.The Willrichs give us a good example of the sort of contribution that 19th century German immigration made toTexas culture. Elise worked in the fields with her husband, even until her feet increased in size to the point thatshe couldn't wear the shoes she had in Germany. But she maintained her love for fine and gentle things.Along with all those children, she brought to the Texas wilderness fine linen tablecloths, and delicate china, andbooks, and sheet music. Germans brought much intellect and artistry to this state. Elise Willrich was proud ofthat.22

She wrote to her stepdaughter in Luneburg in 1850, "The people living around us are almost all cultured and welleducated, and that is why our settlement has been called the High German settlement, and all its members strive tohave their children well bred and educated."In that letter she enclosed a list of items she wanted sent to her. On the list were a spelling book for the children,and "all the bulbs you can get together . . . like queenscrown, lilies, tulips, hyacinths, narcissus . . . also cuttingsfrom gardenia, of good quality."Mount Eliza became known for Georg Willrich's grapevine cuttings, and his tobacco which he evidently grewwith great success. And for Elise's flowers.It was known also as a place of entertainment and enlightenment. The house has a roomy central hall that servedas a stage for traveling minstrels and drama troupes.Elise's letters that I have quoted from were displayed, the last time I was there, at the Fayette County HeritageMuseum in La Grange. I would guess from reading them that what she missed the most after she left herhomeland (not counting a young son who stayed with her father) was butter and milk. She wrote home about thefirst cup of coffee she had with milk, after months without, and about the first piece of cornbread with butter. Shedescribed them as "nectar and ambrosia."That must have sounded curious to her father, for a daughter of such gentle upbringing to get all that lyrical abouthaving butter on her cornbread.More About Elise Margarethe Kuckuck:Burial: 18 Oct 1907, Cedar Cemetery, Fayette Co., TexasMore About Georg Willrich and Elise Kuckuck:Marriage: 12 Dec 1839, Luneberg, GermanyChild of Georg Willrich and Margarethe Rubenack is:+ 2 i.

He was born December 31,1841. Not ill but ever active and about as was his custom, few could believe the report when it wascirculated early Wednesday morning.Prof. Willrich, prominently connected and for nearly sixty years a citizen of this county, was of a quietand friend-making disposition, ably educated and proficient to his calling - school teacher, which hepursued for many years. At one time he taught at the Teutonia School which was near Mt. Eliza wherehe lived with his parents, Georg K. and Elise (Kukuk) Willrich for a time.In this country when the North and South struggled for supremacy, he served as a confederate soldier,retaining this dignified bearing until the end.From the home of Mrs. Elise Mensing in this city the funeral will be held today, Thursday, afternoon attwo o'clock with interment at the Cedar Cemetery. Friends, relatives and acquaintances are asked toattend. Prof. Willrich leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his departure."The Latins and the Prairie Blume Society"By Donna GreenThe Latins were a group of young people who lived in and around the Bluff area of Fayette Countyduring the 1840-1860 time period. They were so named because of their education and culturalbackground. They had emigrated from the small principalities of Central Europe in order to give theirchildren better opportunities. These people hoped to find in Texas the democracy and freedom that hadbeen denied them in Europe. Many of the Latins were political refugees who had taken part in therepublican revolution of 1848.The Latins were proud of their culture and education and often found it difficult to adjust to their newrural surroundings. One young woman wrote to a friend in Europe complaining that there was littlemental stimulation in the daily life on a farm. She wrote that each day suffered from "eternal sameness"and was "painfully monotonous." In her desire to learn she often spent countless hours studying alone.About 1857 things changed for the young Latins of the area when a local German poet, JohannesRomberg, formed the Prairie Blume Literary Society at Black Jack Springs. It was one of the first literarysocieties in Texas. The society published a journal featuring literary contributions from its members. Thejournal was named the "Prairie Blume" because the prairie flower symbolized prose and poetry.The young Latins anxiously awaited every meeting of the society. It was nothing for them to ridefourteen miles on horseback just to attend one of the meetings. They were much more formal than iscustomary today. Julius Willrich would often ride to a member's garden gate and invite them to the nextmeeting with these words: "I have the honor to invite you to the next meeting of the Prairie Blume at ourhouse." Various families took turns in entertaining the group of young scholars.At meetings intellectual games were often played followed by a flute solo or a violin concerto. Theyoung Latins discussed many subjects including the political and social conditions in the world. Theywould often spend hours philosophizing over books they had read or writing down these thoughts tocontribute to the next issue of the journal. Today some copies of the "Prairie Blume" still exist.At the outbreak of the Civil War the activities of the organization declined as many members joined themilitary. After a few more years the society was discontinued entirely.More About Julius Ludwig George Willrich:Burial: 13 Feb 1919, Cedar Cemetery, Fayette Co., Texas+ 14 ii.

It is to be seen in the court yard of this Dorn,and its story is connected with the foundation of that church.I'm not a souvenir hunter, but a number of small sprigs have dropped from the main stalk, and I am goingto preserve the one I picked up for Mr. Heintze, knowing how he treasures and appreciates suchthings.**The Rathshaus is most interesting, the frescoes are of a symbolic nature, and all tell in some way theearly story of Hildesheim. We had a bottle of wine in the Rathskeller, this being included in any orderthere, and were shown about this portion of the building - the celler, I mean.The houses are most noticeable, going up into peaks, with small windows peeping out of the extremelyslanting red tiled roofs. One need not to be told that they are very old; there are whole streets of them,special attention being attracted to the small house called the "Inverted Zucker-hut". In Hildesheim wefirst met up with young people, boys and girls, most of them with packs on their backs. The Judge isalways eager for information, and talked with a man who was in charge of the boys thinking he was ateacher. He was a merchant in charge of the "North German Merchants' Jugentag." I have one of theirprograms before me, and note that it says from June 23 to 26 will be spent in the beautiful old town ofHildesheim. These boys are to be merchants and the Judge enjoyed talking to them, as they enjoyed hisconversation. We met up with the crowd often during our sightseeing that day.We spent the night in Braunschweig, and attended the theatre. The Judge didn't like the shave andmassage he got there and could not help but make comparisons with our home barbers. He became quite27

grouchy after this bit of unsatisfactory treatment, and I fear, will always retain and unpleasant memory ofBraunschweig - otherwise, Brunswick. We took an early train for Leipsig, the one great object of interestthere being the mighty war memorial. It is the largest of Germany's war memorials, on the scale of thepyramids, one might say, and far beyond mere words of mine to describe.This is Sunday, being a most beautiful day in point of weather we saw on the one hand, gay partiesfilling the trains and going to the country for a day in the open, and on the other hand the men andwomen in the fields, literally, "making hay while the sun shone."At Leipsig we called up our American consul, Mr. De Soto, not that we needed his services, but to givehim greetings from a mutual friend, and his comrade in the service, H. C. von Struve, some years ago ayoung law student at La Grange and a member of our household. Mr. de Soto managed to locate us atthe station, which is said to be the largest in the world, but he stated it wasn't so difficult since he saw thegrip which had been lettered by Mr. Rose: "George Willrich, La Grange, Texas, U.S.A." He was mostcourteous and regretted that he couldn't have shown us some real attention - our time was short. We leftthis place at six o'clock. Our friend, Mrs. Watson, conducts the party and knows the ways and means ofdoing things here. She visited these places only recently, which gives her added advantage of taking usat once to the object of interest without loss of time.Upon our arrival in Germany the mark stood at 150,000 to the dollar, now it is 90,000. When we pay afew thousand marks for a meal, we cannot convince ourselves that it is only a few cents, what we'd in oldLa Grange would call ridiculously cheap. Another great service Mrs. Watson does for us , is managingour finances, far beyond us, although it is really only about twenty dollars in our money.Mrs. George Willrich** Had it been so willed, Mr. Heintze would have been granted a lease on life until your return, and yourthoughtfulness would have brought from him a thankful smile. But, he has joined the great majority, andthere are many who mourn as you will, at the knowledge here given. - EditorNuernberg, Germany,June 27, 1923.Editor Journal:We came to Nuernberg from Berlin, passed through a most picturesque part of Germany, several hundredmiles, since it is an all-day trip. There were castle-tipped hills, almost mountains, in the background, andsince the sun was shining, the people were very busy in the hay fields, in the foreground. It has beenraining so much that they are kept busy trying to save their hay. This activity added interest to thepicture for us and the brightness made the perspective perfect. There was so much to see that the Judgetook his seat by a window and wouldn't listen when we called him to look at the other side, saying it wasall he could do to keep up with one side.The train service is splendid, but trains are generally crowded at this time. We didn't happen to get onewith a diner, so found variety in making the stations for Frankfurters and beer, or whatever was to behad. This is vacation time in Germany and everywhere there are people, singly, in couples or groupswith packs on their backs, going from place to place. Teachers and children go about in this way; we hadour picture taken with such a group in Dresden. The children were all in for the lark and hastily climbedupon the gigantic piece of statutary that was to be the background.People have a time keeping up with the money, and inquiries are made daily by everybody as to how thedollar stands. As foreigners we are charged double, and then it amounts to very little, about twenty-fivecents each for an extra good meal. The Judge enjoys talking to the people, and we have enjoyed meetingmany in the train. The coupes have room for six or eight generally. The French "adieu" is entirely out,everyone says "auf wiederschen". On entering the hotel you are greeted by each of the attendants, andevery morning the same.At Potsdam the castle used by the late emperor, is open to the public since 1918. It was built byFrederick the Great, and rivals "San Souci". The body of the late empress rests in a mausoleum near by,facing a rose garden; this, according to her request, it is said. The casket is to be seen - the only onethere - and fresh flowers, too. There does not seem to be the least sympathy for the late emperor orinterest in him, which some account for by his marriage.The richest treasures in Europe are to be seen in the castles; the "Gruene Gewolbe" in Dresden is the lateking of Saxony's storehouse of jewels and works of art, other than paintings, and rivals Ali Baba's cave inrichness. The articles, or most of them, were gifts to the king of Saxony through the ages, by otherpotentates.28

This city is known - to us - as a toy manufacturing center. It was fortified, and the ancient towers -immense structures - are to be seen here and there. One is directly opposite this modernly equippedhotel.Sight-seeing is very hard work, but Mrs. Watson is able to save us annoyance in every way. She attendsto the tickets and gets us about in short order, where, left to ourselves, precious time would be consumedin making inquiries. Muenchen, or Munich, is our next stop before going north again for Oldenburg;from there we will go to Bonn on the Rhine. Some say there are difficulties in traveling in that section,but we will be with relatives. Until then.Mrs. Geo. Willrich.The La Grange JournalThursday, November 29, 1923Mr. and Mrs Geo. Willrich are spending Thanksgiving day at Hill's Prairie, a pleasant day for the familyof Mrs. Willrich who are to have a re-union.The La Grange JournalThursday, October 27, 1938ATTEND THE EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS AT NEW ORLEANSMrs. Geo. Willrich, Miss Olivia Schaefer, Mrs. Arthur Pohl and Miss Ida Reichert of La Grange, andMrs. Marie Lanaux of California, spent the past week in New Orleans, in attendance upon the EighthNational Eucharistic Congress.Incidentally, points of interest in the old historical city were visited, and the memory of Jackson's defeatof the British general and his horde of soldiers recalled. The historic battle of New Orleans was foughtJan. 8, 1814, two days after the treaty of peace had been signed at Utrecht. Communication was not asfast then as it is today.La Grange JournalThursday, November 23, 1944Mrs. Olivia Tuttle WillrichDeath came to Mrs. Olivia Tuttle Willrich, widow of the late Judge George Willrich, Tuesday, November21; she had reached the age of 79 years, 7 months and 23 days.

Announcement of her death created many expressions of regret, regret that shewho had ever been at the call of service in civic work, should have been called hence. Age of thedeparted was not given thought.Mrs. Willrich, born Olivia Tuttle, a daughter of a pioneer citizen of Fayette county, who came fromRochester, New York, a century ago, was born at Pin Oak, southwest from LaGrange, removing toFlatonia with her husband after their marriage, later coming to LaGrange where Judge Willrich, firstpracticing law, later serving the county as county attorney and for 16 years a county judge, made hishome. Denied the happiness of children being born to this union, Mrs. Willrich took to her care and foreducation, those whom she desired to assist.29

Brilliant of mind, capable as a writer, and always willing, both in her church work and in her literary andcivic work, she aided many worthy enterprises of the city. Friends never found her reluctant, sheappeared where her services were welcomed and where such service could be of benefit.Family connections being identified, first with the struggle of the colonists, she was recognized as adaughter of the American revolution; with her father removing to the South and both her husband's fatherand her own identified with the Confederate army she devoted much time in keeping the organizationknown as Daughters of the Confederacy active, and served officially in the local chapter; her name wasalso connected with the Daughters of the Texas Republic. Active in church work, affiliated with theCatholic church, she was constantly aiding and abetting some worthy effort in behalf of that church andwas instrumental in organizing the Mothers' Club of the Sacred Heart Parochial school at LaGrange.Interested in the preservation of the tomb on Monument Hill south of LaGrange, she served for manyyears as president of the Monument Hill Memorial Association; due to her efforts, assisted by othermembers of the Association, beauty was restored to the sacred spot and a memorial tomb was erectedover the bones of the Men of Mier and Dawson's men who fell at Salado Creek, near San Antonio.Never unwilling, never too tired despite the constitutional ailment that was her's, she joined with theCatholic Women in keeping the National Council of Catholic Women, Brenham District, active. Theoffice of president of that organization was in her charge when she was stricken by her last illness. Shewas arranging to attend the meeting that was to be held Sunday, November 23, at Galveston. Deathinterfered. Due to her knowledge of business, parliamentary law and the work that women can do, shebecame a member of the Business and Professional Women's Club of LaGrange.Thursday morning Requiem Mass was celebrated at the Sacred Heart church by Rev. S. A. Zientek.Following the Mass Rev. Zientek review-ed the life of Mrs. Willrich, and in an eloquent tribute, spokenwith emphasis and with sincerity pointed to the many deeds of good she had committed during her nearto four score years and ten.Attendance upon the obsequies was large; friends who were associated with her civic endeavors, whichincluded the Garden Club of La Grange, and relatives of both her husband and her immediate family,were present. The last respects were paid at the cemetery where beautiful flowers covered the couchunder which she will sleep.Among those attending the funeral services, and coming from a distance, the following (which is only apartial list) are given:L.

He had about decided toremove to Bay City, when his condition grew steadily worse and his end came hurriedly.Emil Richers was born in Germany, and in 1846 came to America. At all times he was identified withthe progress of La Grange, was its mayor in the sixties, and for many years a merchant. He was united inmarriage with Miss Elise Huebner and to them were born twelve children, two of whom died in infancy.The ten children living are: Mesd. Geo. Kehrer, and F. A. Otto, Houston; Mrs. R. A.

LottoPages 260-261Published Schulenberg, TexasSeptember 1902Geo. HuebnerThis country has furnished numerous instances where men with only limited education, but with practicalsense have risen to the brightest walks of life. Not schooling, but practical common sense is the key tosuccess. Geo. Huebner is and eminently practical man. During his early years as a teamster he had thechance to become acquainted with the ways of life. His shrewd observation developed in him a soundjudgement. On the road, from his fellowmen and from nature, but not from books, he gathered hisinformation. His knowledge comes from the first source. And he not only has a fund of practicalknowledge, but also knows how to express his views with energy and clearness. He is an interestingtalker. The writer has heard with deep interest his views on road building and road improvement and hemust confess that he never has heard sounder views on this subject than those expressed by Geo.Huebner. But not only on this, he has sound views on almost any question. From 1898 to 1900 heserved one term as county commissioner. When he retired from this office, declining to stand reelection,it was the general verdict of the people that they never had had a better commissioner. Thewriter agrees fully to their verdict and is of the opinion that a better man, a man with sounder judgementand greater common sense can not be found for that office.35

Geo. Huebner was born at the Bluff settlement August 16, 1851. His parents were John A. and Pauline(Willrich) Huebner. They came to this country from Germany while quite young. His father came fromBavaria, and first immigrated to Texas in 1836, but on account of Indian raids he went back to NewOrleans without settling in Texas. He returned in the early 40's and then settled in the Bluff settlementwhere both parents remained till their death.Geo. Huebner worked with his father on the farm, went to school and drove team. He acquired quite areputation as one of the most skillful teamsters of the county, for it required skill to handle six to eightteams of oxen. After the war, he married Miss Lisette Warnken, the daughter of a prominent old settlerat the Bluff. This union was blessed with six children: Louis, Helene, Annie, George, Ellie, andAugusta.George Huebner is a prominent successful farmer of the county. From 1898 to 1900 he served thecounty as commissioner which office he filled with great efficiency to the satisfaction of the people.The La Grange JournalOctober 13, 1933Of Historical InterestBy Leonie Rummel WeyandTwo Surviving Members of Fayette County Ox-Team Caravan to MexicoMemories of the days when great cotton caravans meandered through miles of bandit-infested mesquiteand cactus to bring fantastic profits to their owners still live vividly in the minds of George Huebner andJohn Speckels now living in La Grange. These two are the only living survivors of the Fayette countycrew who so deftly handled ox-teams with the chant, “Haw”, “He”, and “Gee.” The redoubtable twohave lived to see this mode of transportation superceded, first by railway, then by truck, and now by theunbelievably fast air express. Not that they are impressed by these fast moving contraptions. Oh, no!They see in the slow moving ox-teams which they so skillfully manipulated, disciplinary value to theyoung entirely absent in the breezy transportation used by the younger generation. In fact, thesestalwarts attribute much of the jazziness of the present generation to the devilishly fast machines whichenables the young folks to be “On again, off again, gone again, Flannigan.” These hardened ox-teamdrivers further contend that the hazardous occupation of hauling cotton to Mexico during their ‘teenyears when boys of today haven’t yet finished high school, developed in them brawn and grain andfortitude to see a disagreeable thing thru. These two boys, all in their eighties and as tough as pine knots,are brilliant examples of the efficacy of their “take ‘em young and treat ‘em rough” theory.George Huebner, one of the two who did teamstering duties during the sixties, has a remarkable memoryand a ready flow of picturesque words. He lives about twelve miles from La Grange on a rich black landfarm, an inheritance from his pioneer father. Near his home is the burial ground of the unfortunate Menof Mier, who were executed in Mexico and those of the Dawson Massacre. Members of the Huebnerfamily were present at the burial in September, 1848.Until recently, Huebner’s physical vigor was a match for his alert mentality. A year ago, against theadvice of his children, he attempted to break a wild horse which promptly threw him. An injured legnow hampers his movements but in no way diminishes his remarkable energy.Huebner has no patience with the mamby-pamby “finickyness” of the present generation. “I wonder”, hesays, “How they would have survived just one trip to the Mexican border.” He made five. “The dust”,he continues, “was awful – like a dense cloud. We looked like mounds of earth slowly moving along.”Huebner’s description of the dust menace is borne out by a story appearing in the Houston Tri-WeeklyTelegraph of April 29, 1863. “The drought extending from the mouth of the Rio Grande to within thirtymiles of the Nueces, has proved to be the most thorough vegetation destroyer of any kind that has visitedthe country in years. The country begins to look as if seared with red hot irons. Surface water sink holesgive a feeble supply of water highly impregnated with offensive gases and saline properties. Oxen bydroves are falling by the wayside, never again to bear the yoke or put their shoulders to the cotton loadedwheels. Rain we must soon have or the transportation jig will assuredly be up; the dust of the earthfilling the eyes, nose, mouth and hair – making one feel gritty often and dusty always – dust of which aman eats his peck monthly and breathes daily – a terrible, inhuman, diabolical dust. A kingdom for ashower is the standing offer.” And not a shower bath, girls.In his smooth flowing style, Huebner tells the following story of his cotton hauling experiences:“Slave owners in Fayette county gave the Confederacy all the cotton they could spare. Those not owningslaves were forced to suffer confiscation of one-half of their cotton crop. Hauling cotton was a branch of36

military service that found favor among some Fayette county citizens; for, in spite of the long, hazardousjourney, it was safer than serving in the army. Before being permitted to haul cotton, the teamster had toprocure a detail, a contract with the government which pledged the teamster to haul at least five bales ofcotton to Mexico, the round trip not to take longer than three months. The contract provided that certaincontingencies such as a broken wheel, lost oxen and failure to secure food for the animals would beconsidered legitimate reasons for a tardy return. Some of ----------------- abandoned the ox-team, and proceeded on by steamer to New Orleans where they joined theUnion forces. These men later drew fat pensions. Christian Lomaun, and expert ox driver of the sixties,whose partner left his ox team in Brownsville, performed the unusual feat of driving back both ox-teamsfrom the border.Since it was impossible to maintain a check on the drivers, killing time systematically was the order ofthe day among some of them in order to increase the time between trips and to postpone compulsorymilitary service. The teamsters received for services rendered, twelve cents per pound of cottontransported – but in Confederate money.Fayette county teamsters hauled to Mexico not only cotton raised in Fayette county, but also cotton thatwas raised in East Texas and in Louisiana. Cotton raised in these two sections was not hauled directly toMexico, but was dumped at certain convenient concentration points, from which, it was relayed to itsdestination. These points were Alleytown, Bernard, Columbus in Colorado county, and La Grange andRound Top in Fayette county. There were two cotton agents in Fayette county, Judge J. C. Stiehle,stationed in La Grange, and A. Meerscheidt, at Round Top. Cotton sent to Fayette county was hauled toone of the following places for re-shipment to Mexico: Brownsville, Mier, Rancho Davis, Laredo orEagle Pass.A cotton convoy usually consisted of from three to fifteen wagons. From five to seven yoke of oxenwere necessary to pull one wagon. It was necessary for teamsters to take along sufficient food for theentire trip, for often food was not available. Procuring enough food for men and oxen was often quite anundertaking.The difficulties of the Confederate, state and county governments were by no means ended when thecotton had been hauled to the border. Here the cotton was likely to seized by the Mexicans, the Federals,or even by the Confederates. On one occasion a convoy of eighteen wagons from Fayetteville wascaptured by Mexican bandits. The Mexicans stripped the teamsters of everything - - cotton, wagons andox-teams. The men had to thumb a ride home or walk. Bryan Lane, an unfortunate member of thisparty, was killed by the Mexicans and, as a warning to future teamsters, was buried with his hands andfeet sticking out of the ground.The Fayette County Commissioners in 1863 conceived the idea of buying cotton and selling it to Mexicofor relief of the county’s destitute war widows and orphans. In accordance with this plan, they boughtthirty-two bales of cotton from William J. Russel to haul it to Mexico. At King’s Ranch, the party wasseized by General Bee, who had been forced to evacuate Brownsville as a result of the Federal invasion.Negroes, teams and cotton, according to Russel, were impressed into service by General Bee, whocompelled Russel to sell him the cotton at fifty cents per pound, Confederate money. When Russel madehis report to the Commissioners’ Court, they agreed to let him keep the money given him by Bee as aremuneration for freight charges.Still another large shipment of cotton that was a total loss to the owner, belonged to William Neese ofWarrenton. He had sent thirty-eight bales of cotton to Mexico with the following teamsters in charge: J.C. Moss, F. Holman, Conrad Tieman and Mano Garbardes. In Brownsville, Neese’s cotton was takenaway from him by order of General Brown, the Federal Commander in charge of the Forty-third IndianaInfantry, the Sixty-second Ohio (a colored regiment), and the Second Texas Regiment. It was thecolored Major of the Ohio contingent who actually took possession of the cotton.The fraud in the cotton business which aroused such indignation among the soldiers and patriotic citizensof Texas was not entirely absent in the Fayette county teamsters’ trade. A Confederate law prohibitedteamsters from carrying more than ten bales a trip, and special agents were placed at Flatonia and atGonzales to supervise the transportation. By splitting with them, it became an easy matter to arrangewith the agents to carry an extra bale or two, and with cotton selling at forty cents per pound, such arascally procedure was highly profitable.The second of the surviving teamsters, John Speckels, eighty-five, and a peppy as a sophomore, recallsthat the Confederate government sponsored the first trip of cotton hauling that he made to Mexico. The ------37

unsatisfactory schedule, Speckels, explained, was due to the fact that the necessary food for the men andoxen through the long desert stretches along the last part of the journey was not promptly furnished bythe Confederate government. During the waiting period, perhaps the most satisfactory of all to the men,hunting parties were organized, which netted rich bags of wild turkey and plenty of deer. Deer andturkey meat with rye coffee and bread made a satisfying meal. The Speckels lad was unfortunate andcontracted measles on the trip. A rain storm came up and the sick boy spent the night trying to hold aflapping wagon cover back in place. He suffered a relapse and as a result his hearing today is slightlyimpaired.The exhausted men and oxen finally reached Eagle Pass. The place named as a cotton depot by theConfederate government. Here the Confederate officials ordered machinery to be placed on the wagonsand delivered in San Antonio on the return trip. A sturdy band of German farmers, all neighbors of hisfather, were Speckel’s next companions on a cotton hauling trip to Mexico. By agreeing to turn overover one-half the profits to the government, Speckels secured permission to take cotton to Mexico. Thehazardous journey was safely negotiated. The cotton was sold in Rio Grande City for thirty-one centsper pound. The youth carried the money paid him for his father’s cotton (in Doubloons) safely in hisbelt. The same financial success that attended Speckels’ trip to Mexico has followed him throughoutlife. His business ability has made profitable all his ventures. Speckels, in addition to the part that heplayed in transporting cotton during the Civil War, has assisted materially in the industrial developmentof Fayette county. He represented his county in the State Legislature during the years 1895-97.Brownsville, on Texas soil, and Matamoras just across the Rio Grande, on the Mexican side, formed thehub of the contraband cotton trade during the war days. These two places became the Sodom andGemorrah of the Southwest. It was said of Brownsville that it was at that time the rowdiest town in themost lawless state of the Confederacy. And Matamoras, her sister city and Mecca for the riff-raff andadveuturers of three nations, did her worst to outdo her American twin in sin. As a result of the cottonboom, Matamoras mushroomed in population from eight thousand to forty thousand almost overnight.Men made millions in the cotton business. The Stillman and Ranger fortunes are brilliant examples. TheRanger Brothers bought 650 bales of cotton from the Willis family in Houston, at six cents a pound. TheWillis’ were forced to sell at a sacrifice to prevent confiscation by the Confederates, but neither sidecould confiscate cotton owned by Gus. Ranger because he was a German Jew and an alien. He carted thecotton at once to Matamoras, from whence he succeeded in shipping it to England when cotton priceswere at their peak. He was said to have received the fabulous price of a dollar and eighty cents perpound. He became later one of the “cotton kings” of the world.People from every corner of the globe rushed to Matamoras, lured thereto by fantastic tales of immensefortunes made with effortless ease. Union sympathizers and draft evaders drank beer with cotton agents,importers and merchants of all nations. There was just one person who was “persona non grata” and thatwas an abolitionist. Any person was privileged to shoot him down at sight, and all the year-round wasopen season on these vermin and conviction for such sport was unknown.Business was good in Matamoras during the war. Importers who opened with well-stocked shelves oftenhad to close within a week because their merchandise stocks were completely sold out. The town wasfilled to overflowing with goods of all descriptions, and people rented and moved into thrown-upshanties. Even then, constantly arriving merchandise could not be housed. Owners were forced to stacktheir goods on the ground and expose it to nature in the raw – which is never mild. Ingenious Yankeesshipped in a big lot of tarpaulins which were hired out to the merchants at a dollar a night. Harrassedmerchants used them to cover a valuable store load of imported goods.Such is the picture painted by George Huebner and John Speckels of the thriving business in contrabandcotton hauling and trading between Texas and Mexico during -------- .The La Grange JournalThursday, May 7, 1936"Death Claims Aged Native Born Citizen of Fayette, Monday"Although in failing health for the past ten days, yet ever in a cheerful mood, even until Sunday night, andentertaining visitors in his usual friendly manner, George Huebner, one of the oldest native born citizensof Fayette county, died at his farm home shortly after the midnight hour of Sunday. He seemed to know,however, that the oil was fading fast, and accepted the responsibility with grim resignation.George Huebner was an interesting character; born on what was in the early days of the county known asthe Bluff, on a farm November 6, 1851, he grew to manhood on that farm. During the more than 84years, in which he lived in Fayette county, he was very observing and knew much of its history, which heever delighted to refer to when visited by relatives and friends.38

George Huebner was a mere lad when he became a teamster in 1863, and one of which carried cottoninto Mexico. To dwell on the incidents of that period would require several columns, yet the Journalrefrains not from saying that his recitals of those days, when it required nerve to be a teamster and whenone had to forever remain on guard against the seizure of the staple he was hauling by either theConfederates, the Federals or the Mexican governments. Yet, all turned out well, and the then youngman grew in body, and in mind.When death claimed George Huebner, it took the last member of the teamster force in this county; hisfellow teamster in the days that tried men's souls, was John C. Speckels, who died last year. With himwas buried Tuesday, the voice that often, very often entertained those who were seeking history andadventure stories.After the civil war closed, and reconstruction days followed George Huebner returned to the farm andremained thereon; he was united in marriage with Miss Lizetta Warnken, early settlers of the Bluffsection, and farmed on the same farm first settled by his father. To this union ------- children, the firstborn dying in infancy. The living children are: Louis and Miss Helen Huebner of La Grange; Mrs.Forrest (Annie) McMillan of Ballinger; Geo. L. Huebner of Lane City; Mrs. G. W. (Ella) Albrecht of LaGrange and Miss Gussie Huebner, R.N., of San Antonio.Surviving also, are one sister, Mrs. Eliza Richers of Bay City and three brothers, Andrew, Louis, andFranz Huebner, all of near Bay City. George Huebner was the first to break the family tie of childrenborn to his parents. There are also nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild, and several nephewsand nieces.George Huebner, prevailed upon to make the race for County Commissioner of Beat No. 1, entered therace and was elected and served for one term (1899-1900) refusing to stand for re-election. In closingthe reference to an honorable and life-long citizen, the Journal refrains from giving many of theinteresting incidents of the eighty-two years in which he lived only a short distance from La Grange. Inbidding him to rest, we have given the last respects to one who lived in the immediate vicinity of LaGrange, ---------- the good of the county. May he sleep peacefully.More About George Huebner:Burial: Abt. 06 May 1936, City Cemetery, LaGrange, Fayette Co., TXNotes for Lisette Warnken:The La Grange JournalApril 10, 1924Floatsam and JetsamPeople Who Come to and Go From La Grange For a VisitIn attendance upon the obsequies of Mrs. Lizzie Huebner Sunday, and coming from outside points,were: Hermann Warnken and family of Yoakom, Geo.

Mrs. Huebner, it may be said, came toher death as a relief from much suffering. Devoted to her children, her departure will leave a vacancy,such as time alone shall heal. We deeply sympathize with the husband and the sons and daughters; deathcomes into a home when we would strive to defeat its approach, but as the flowers bud and bloom inSpring, and the leaves fall with the first blast from the North, so inevitably we must all pay the commondebt.Mrs. Huebner, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Warnken, early settlers of this section. For manyyears the family resided upon a farm several miles from La Grange, and only a few years since removedto La Grange. The separation or dissolution that has now occurred is the pang of sorrow that only thosewho have experienced a similar affliction can well appreciate. She enjoyed the great privilege, however,39

of seeing her children become grown, and to them was the comfort and solace that a dutiful child finds.Sunday afternoon they carried her remains to the new cemetery and placed them to rest; in attendanceupon the last rites were sympathizing relatives and friends from the town and country and fromneighboring cities.

Huebner:The Matagorda County TribuneBay City, TexasApril 7, 1911Great Cotton Country.A. E. Huebner, one of the largest land holders in this county, is very enthusiastic over Matagorda countyand the prospects for her becoming one of the greatest cotton counties in Texas. He said that he and histwo brothers came to Matagorda county in 1886 and that in 1887 planted their first cotton crop. Thisthey kept up for several years and in all their many crops they did not experience a single entire failure,although one short crop was recorded. The best crop was one of two bales to the acre and the rest ranfrom one-half to a bale.In late years, however, the Huebner Brothers, whose holdings go beyond 10,000 acres of some of thefinest land in Matagorda county, have been stock raising and what cotton they have raised has only beenincidental. But Mr. Huebner says that cotton is not an experimental crop here by any means and that thiscounty is as good for the staple, if not better, than any in Texas.He is a strong believer in diversification and gives an interesting account of what might be accomplishedin this, the brightest Mid-Coast county.The Daily TribuneBay City, TexasJune 11, 1948Andrew Huebner, Pioneer Cattleman Matagorda County, Dies At Age 94First Came To County In 1886 To Raise CattleMr. Andrew Huebner, pioneer cattleman of Matagorda County, died Thursday evening at 8 o’clock,following an illness of long duration. He was 94 years of age and until recently was still “riding therange” with the younger cowboys on his spread.It was in 1886, sixty two years ago, when Mr. Huebner was then a man of 32 with many tales of the CivilWar still vividly in his mind, that he came to Matagorda County from Fayette County where he was bornnear La Grange. He began then to buy land in the county. In 1909 he moved his family here where theyhave lived since.Like many members of his family, he was extremely healthy with a constitution which allowed him toperform duties which would have felled many men younger. He thrived on outdoor life and hard work,40

A dismal wind startles weird echoes in the trees and canons ofmountainous country near Salado, Mexico – rising in the mountains and sweeping with vicious insistence down tothe little settlement where one hundred and seventy-six men are doomed to die.In their hearts there is little hope of release. They sit in the stifling air of a rude shed, converted into a deathchamber from a barn, and wait orders to march before a firing line and surrender their lives for Texas. Awaitingthe surrender of their all – these who had scorned all other surrender as not befitting men who had swornthemselves to win freedom for their state.Their clothes were worn threadbare, their feet were sore and lacerated from those long days and nights on themountains without food or shelter while they sought the way back to Texas. Bodies were weak and helpless fromthe long exposure and in their minds was no thought but the release death would bring. In the hands of theMexican general Santa Anna they hoped for no mercy.Guards enter the room and silently place the men in heavy iron chains, ordering each to stand in line as he wasbound. No word is said – then one of the Mexicans holds an official looking document to the light and readsorders that chill the blood of every man who heard them. They had expected death – death for them all accordingto the will of Santa Anna. Their capturer, General Mexia, had written his relentless commander, asking freedomfor the prisoners, and Santa Anna had granted that only one man out of every ten would be shot and that theothers might be spared.In the history of Texas is written many chapters of dramatic happenings, but none more powerful in ironic twistsof fate than the scene that followed the reading of the cruel orders.An officer, holding an earthen mug in his hand, comes into the shed where the Texans were confined and boundin chains. In the mug were one hundred and seventy-six beans, the number of the prisoners. One hundred andfifty-nine beans were white and seventeen were black. The prisoners were each to draw a bean from the mug.45

The black beans meant death.To tell the rest would be only to repeat a story known to all Texans, for the destiny of the Mier prisoners – menwho dared to enter the enemy’s country out-numbered many times, to save their comrades captured by GeneralWoll at San Antonio – will be re-told and remembered through many generations.It is from the lips of Mrs. Franciska Vogt of La Grange that the story was recently recounted with a new andgripping angle on the well known incidents – for Mrs. Vogt is the one person living who was present andremembers when the bones of these seventeen men were brought back to Texas soil and buried on the bluffoverlooking her home in La Grange. And it was on her 93rd birthday that she recalled that solemn ceremony of1848, when as a child of 13 she rode bareback to the site where the Mier prisoners were re-buried with honor andpraise.“Ah, I shall never forget how it looked – that procession of men riding mules and leading others with the bones ofthe Texans slung in gunny-sacks across the backs of the animals,” she said, her eyes once more glowing with theamazement she must have felt as a child. “They came right into town, and when I heard what was going to bedone, I remember I ran and jumped on my pony and raced to the top of the hill for the ceremony.”“I do not remember much of what happened, except that it was all very solemn and quiet as the bones werecarefully and tenderly buried up there on the hill. Then the monument was put up – the big limestone tomb underwhich are the remains of those seventeen men who drew the black beans of death.”Mrs. Vogt recalled that she was unable to get astride her horse after it was all over – remembering, as she says,more of the smaller details that made an impression on a young mind.“I know it was some man from Austin who helped me – some nice man who held my horse and helped me swingup to ride back home again, but I do not know who, though I still remember how he looked that day,” she said.The little old lady who will soon reach the century mark also told the story of the man who took the black beandrawn by a comrade away from him and died in his stead. The incident may be legend or true, but Mrs. Vogtstates that she has heard it all her life and believes its veracity. It is told that the first to draw the fatal lot was aman with a wife and children back at home, and that his friend forced him to exchange the beans so that he mightlive.Though the names of this Damon and Pythias of Texas history may be lost in the maze of years, what a monumentto friendships that face life and death with equal unselfishness!The burial of the Mier prisoners is only one of the incidents of early Texas history that can be told in the firstperson by the gray-haired and smiling grandmother and great-grandmother of La Grange. She came to Fayettecounty from Germany in 1847 with her mother and brothers and sisters, following the father George Willrich,who had come the previous year and located a home. Mrs. Vogt tells that the state gave 300 acres of land toevery man with a family who settled in that country then – land as wild as if it had never been touched by man.“These hills were thick with wild animals and rattle snakes, but I got used to them and remember riding all overthe country by myself as a child,” she relates. “I will always remember one time when I was going after thehorses for my mother and came up on a lot of commotion in the woods. When I got to a clearing, I saw sixwolves tearing at the body of a deer they had killed.”Mrs. Vogt’s father was a prominent judge in the “old country,” and came to America with many other immigrantsduring those years who sought freedom and prosperity in the new land. He had a large family of children whosechildren and children’s children are numbered among the settlers of the state. Mrs. Vogt’s own children are Mrs.Ernest Knigge of La Grange, with whom she makes her home; E. R. Vogt of Schulenburg, Julius Vogt ofO’Quinn, Mrs. Fritz Nollkamper, Fritz Vogt, La Grange.The story of the Mier prisoners will again be placed before the people of Texas during the next legislature, it wasrecently learned, as the senator and representative from that part of the state, Senator Gus. Rusek of Schulenburgand Rep. James Pavlica of Flatonia, are to ask that 50 acres of land along the top of the bluff where the men areburied, be purchased by the state for a state park and a memorial to their heroism. The land is available forpurchase at this time, and as the location is ideal scenically for a beautiful recreation resort, they will use all their46

power to pass the bill creating the Mier park for Texas.A monument already stands on the court house square at La Grange, erected several years ago by the state “to thememory of the men who drew the black beans and were shot at Salado, Mexico, on March 24th, 1843,” and toCapt. N. H. Dawson and his men who were massacred at Salado, Texas, in September of 1842. The remains ofsome of these men are also said to rest with the Mier prisoners in the tomb at La Grange, brought back by thegroup who went by mule train on their errand of such grim homage.To follow the trail of these one hundred and fifty-six men who were spared in the fatal lottery at the haciendo ofSalado would be to wonder whether or not the man who saved his friend did not leave him the worse fate. Dyingof unbearable hardships on their march into Mexico City, wasting away in dungeons, shot while trying to escapeand a few finally winning their way back to Texas, the group one by one went the way of their comrades whodrew death from the glass of chance that day. But no matter what followed for them, it would surely be safe toimagine that none experienced deeper agony of suspence, or grief for his comrades, than when they plunged theirhands into the little grains of matter, colored black and white, that meant a promised freedom or a black doom.LA GRANGE JOURNAL30 APR 1931FRANZISKA VOGT"Grandmother Vogt Passes Away"Reaching the age of 95 years, 5 months and 7 days, Grandmother Franziska Vogt, one of our most interesting andesteemed citizens closes the last chapter of her life 24 April 1931. She was born 17 October 1835 in Germany andcame to Fayette County with her mother, Mrs. Geo. Willrich, and sisters and brothers in the year 1847. Herfather, a prominent judge in the old country, had come over the year before to locate a home for the family.Texas gave three hundred acres of land to every man with family who settled upon its soil, land seeminglyuntouched by man, with wild beasts and snakes roaming at will. They went through many trials during these days,and to hear grandmother recite some of the history of her younger days was interesting. In 1928 the Journalreproduced an account entitled: "Black Beans of Death", a story told by the subject of this sketch on her 93rdbirthday anniversary, which had been published in the Austin American. She recalled the solemn ceremony of1848, when a child of thirteen she rode horseback to the site where the Mier prisoners of war were reburied withhonor and praise, on Kreische's Bluff. After the death of her husband, John Vogt, 22 years ago, she continued tolive at the old home near O'Quinn, where her youngest son, Julius, now resides. About ten years ago she came tolive in her declining years with her daughter Mrs. E. Knigge of this city. It may truly be said of her, she won thelove of all with whom she came in contact, and will be greatly missed.Mrs. Vogt was the mother of eight children, five sons and three daughters, of whom three preceded her in death:Mrs. H. Schroeder of this city and Geo. Vogt of Schulenburg; Hans died at the age of 8 years. The living are:E.R. Vogt of Schulenburg, Mrs. Fritz Nollkamper, Mrs. E. Knigge and Fritz Vogt of this city and Julius Vogt ofO'Quinn. Twenty-three grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren, besides two step sisters, Mrs. Anna Gross ofSan Antonio and Mrs. Louise Koehler of this city are among the sorrowing relatives. Interment took place at theCedar Cemetery Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. C.O. Boatman officiating.More About Franziska Sophie Eleonore Willrich:Burial: 25 Apr 1931, Cedar Cemetery, Fayette Co., TexasNotes for John R. Vogt:LA GRANGE JOURNAL23 SEP 1909IN MEMORY OF JOHN VOGTWhen the visit of the death angel was made to the home of John Vogt, near Cedar, last week, Tuesday, September14, 1909, the spirit of one of Fayette County's oldest and most beloved citizens journeyed to the far-off home todwell with the great majority who have gone before. The entire vicinage where he was most highly respected andrevered was wrapt in sorrow and heartfelt expressions of regret were frequent. John Vogt was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany May 9, 1832, and when a lad of seventeen years emigrated to America, landing at GalvestonAugust 31, 1849. His journey to Fayette was made in the primitive manner of that time, by ox-wagon. Forseveral years after his arrival he earned his living by daily labor. In the year 1857, January 13, he was united inmarriage with Miss Franziska Willrich, one of the then popular belles of Cedar. The ceremony occured at the47

home of Dr. Dencker, which home still stands and shelters a daughter of the doctor. After one year's residence atthis place, the family removed to the home which was the deceased's until the final call was made and he passedout of the knowledge of earthly matters. The union was blessed with eight children, one of whom died manyyears ago. The seven living are: Mrs. Hermann Schroeder of Cedar, E. R. Vogt of Schulenburg, Mrs. FritzNollkamper of Swiss Alp, George Vogt of Swiss Alp, Fritz Vogt of La Grange, John Vogt of Cedar and Mrs.Ernst Knigge of La Grange. Seventeen grand children and one great grandchild also mourn the loss of good oldPapa Vogt.Wednesday morning of last week the funeral was held from the old homestead and the remains, followed by animmense cortege, were conveyed to the Cedar Cemetery and laid to rest with beautiful and impressiveceremonies. Rev. Kern, pastor of the Lutheran Church at Swiss Alp, spoke of the good qualities of the deceasedand commited his spirit to the care of the Maker. Judge Willrich, who is related to the family, also spoke at thegrave dwelling on the ennobling life led by his relative. Mr. Vogt was one of the Texas Confederate soldiers. Atthe last reunion, held here in May, he was unable to take part. At a former reunion the remaining soldiers of whatonce was a strong company were photographed. There were not many present but the picture shows the faces ofdetermined men. It was this picture the writer was shown when he last visited the home of the deceased. Hecherished this with the pride characteristic of the grizzeled old veterans of today, who, in their youth, shoulderedtheir muskets in a cause they believed right. It was at that time I learned to know more of Grandpa Vogt and tolove him for his goodness of heart and his consideration for the wants and rights of others. He is gone nowsleeping that long sleep that knows no awakening, but which is recorded as being the rest from which we will allarise some sweet day to share the blessing of the Messiah.A.

As a good wife and mother, Mrs. Schroeder was known to many. Her greatest pleasure in life, inaddition to the attributes mentioned, was to do good to others.

R. Vogt, so The Journal has been informed, is on the sick list this week. Nothingserious, but sufficient to make him forsake his office duties for a few days.THE SCHULENBURG STICKER29 FEB 1940E. R. VOGT FAYETTE CO. RESIDENT BURIED MONDAYMr. E. Rudolph Vogt passed away at the family residence here on Sunday, February 25, 1940. Deathresulted from an injured hip and leg which was hurt when he fell about two months ago. Worn and weakfrom an active life, his frail body could not withstand the severe pain. "Judge" Vogt, as he was called bymost of the people in the community, was born October 15, 1859, near Cedar, in Fayette County. Hereceived his early education in the Fayette County schools and as a young man took private lessons inCivil Engineering. When he had reached the age of nineteen years, he started out to work as a surveyorand for 60 years he followed that profession.On December 6, 1883, he won the hand of Miss Anna Nollkamper, who has lived through these manyyears at his side. The wedding ceremony took place in Cedar. In the year 1888, he was elected to theoffice of county surveyor and he held that office for 50 years. For the past 38 years he had been justiceof the peace in this precinct and during that term of years has had only two opponents. In the year 1918,when the American Party was so strong, he was the only county official who was re-elected to office. Inhis years of work as surveyor, he covered practically the whole of the State of Texas and as far as weknow today, no lawsuits have ever occured over any of the surveys he made. "Judge" Vogt not only wasactive in the above mentioned professions, but he was one of the first persons to help organize the FirstNational Bank of Schulenburg in 1916. He was one of the first to help organize the Bluff Mutual FireInsurance Company, which is over fifty years old and still going strong. He wrote the by-laws, rules andregulations of that group of farmers. He was the man who helped establish all of the mail routes out ofSchulenburg. There were many other projects which live on through this man, who helped found them,who is not with us any more. For the past 34 years he has made his home in the city of Schulenburg. Oneof the expressions which we have heard many times within the past few days is that: "He was fair,impartial and just in all of his dealings." No finer tribute can be given to a man. It will not seem the samehere in Schulenburg to not see the "Squire" come down the street with his cane in his hand and his pipein his mouth. He will be missed by his many friends who have gathered for years on Saturday afternoonto play a few games of dominoes. His wise council, given freely, to all those who need sound advice,will go begging. Our, and every other community, needs more men who will live the life of Mr. Vogt.He was a wonderful father and husband and did his all to make his family happy and contented.He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and Charter member of the Schulenburg Lutheran Church.Funeral services were held from the family residence on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock with interment inthe Cedar Cemetery. Rev.Hornung and Rev. Kuretsch officiated at the last sad rites. Choirs of both theLutheran and Methodist Churches sang the hymns. A large number of people from this and surroundingareas came to pay their last respects.

So "Come unto Me all ye who areweary, and heavy laden, and I will give thee rest."OTTO WILLRICH, SR.Born in Elsen, Hanover, Ger. February 19, 1845Died at La Grange, Texas February 13, 1929Aged 83 yrs, 11 mos, 24 dysIn paying a tribute to this good citizen I seek not to worm my way into the good graces of those who were hisdependents, as children, I refer to the man whom I have known since my early youth; I use the honorable name"man" because, in the circle in which he lived he had the respect of every one who knew him, and never hesitatedto extend to me the right hand of fellowship. To have known him is one of the precious assets of mine. Hebelonged to that class of citizens who have made the world a better place in which to live; the legacy he leaves tohis children is not measured according to his holdings, but in the standard of worth, which prompts those whoknew him well, to say: "This was a man." He scorned to do a dishonest act, and was a living example of the sonwho believed it a valuable privilege to uphold, without stain - by act or speech - the name of his ancestors. Fromhis home, established when he took unto himself a mate, there was sent out a family of children who looked uponthe father as an example to emulate. Otto Willrich was a citizen who craved no honors; in his retiring manner ofliving, not alone or unto himself; the doors were opened by the magic word of welcome to all who cared to enter.And with endowment the Creator gives to the sturdy oak of the forest, to withstand the ravages of time and thevicissitudes of life, he bore, with fortitude, whatever affliction there was visited upon him, realizing that the lot ofall men, like the cross to the Savior, must be borne. He accepted these edicts as they were tendered. And whenthe Great Reader, of the Chart of Life, wrote the edict, January 26, 1922, that a companionship of 52 years should61

cease, he bowed in acquescence, and saw Mama Anna, his wife, start on her celestial journey. All partings arepainful, he lived on, patiently awaiting the hour when his name would be announced; yet he manifested his usualinterest in all things, and stood ready, like the soldier of honor, to obey a command. The world will not stopmoving because he is gone; the world will not be changed, because of his going; there are too many of us stillhere, but this vacancy his going has caused, will be sacred to those who bear his descendency, and it will be aninspiration to them, because, Otto Willrich, Sr., was a worthy trustee, a guardian of the name entrusted to him.He has passed to his sons and daughters, the sword of his father, of his grand-sires, and thereon is no tarnish. Hewas a credit to his family name. The loving prefix of father, following that of a son and grandson, remains as amemory in the circle in which he lived, and in the minds of relative and friend. I sincerely regret that myenfeebled condition prevented my attendance upon the hour when they carried him to his resting place. I am gladit was my privilege to have known him, I would have been happier to have been more closely associated withhim. The sympathy, at the loss of a father and brother, is expressed to his sisters, and to his children. B.F.HARIGELOtto Willrich was brought to America by his parents when still an infant - only one year old. His parents settledin the old Bluff section and took up farming. When Otto reached his fourteenth year, he was taken back toGermany, in order that he might receive the advantage of the tutelage of earned educations at his birthplace, andfor four years he remained in Germany. Returning to Fayette County as a young man, and to the parental home,he entered as a farmer and in the year 1870, was united in marriage with Miss Anna Kloss who made him a goodwife, became the mother of his children and helped to rear a very interesting family.

Sladczyk:La Grange JournalAugust 3, 1933News came to the relatives and was quickly conveyed to his friends, that V. C. Sladczyk, one of our goodcitizens, and constable of this precinct at the time, had died at Port Arthur, Monday afternoon.Superfluous to say that the news was received with expressions of genuine regret. Mr. Sladczyk was 68years, 3 months and 7 days old.63

V. C. Sladczyk was born and reared on a farm not many miles from La Grange, and was a son of the lateCapt. And Mrs. V. J. Sladczyk, pioneer settlers of the Ammannsville community. He grew to manhoodon the farm, and later engaged in the mercantile business, first here at La Grange and later at Kirtley,eventually returning to La Grange.Plain, honest, and fair in his decision on all matters, he held the good will and esteem of all who knewhim. To him the friendship of a fellow being was a good asset and in his general conduct and demeanorhe sought to maintain that friendship. Prevailed upon, some years ago to enter politics, he made the racefor constable, and in that capacity served this precinct for several years.His health began to decline within the past three years, and that once active and vigorous body wascompelled to slacken the usual pace. Adhering strictly to the medico's advice, and maintaining adetermination to be of service, he traveled on. His friends well knew of his delicate health but, as it everis, all hoped that he would be spared to family for many years.In the company of Mrs. Sladczyk, he left for Port Arthur where a son, Dr. George Sladczyk resides. Itwas while in that city that death relieved his lease on life. The body was brought to La Grange, Tuesday,and from his late home on Jefferson street the funeral was held, with interment at the new cemetery.Victor Sladczyk was united in marriage with Miss Margrethe Willrich, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Otto Willrich of the Bluff section; he is survived by his widow and the following children: OttoSladczyk of Yoakum; Arthur Sladczyk of Houston; Fritz Sladczyk of La Grange and Dr. GeorgeSladczyk of Port Arthur; Mrs. S.

Friday night Mrs. Anna, wife of George Willrich, Jr., of Bluff, died at the farm home, after an illness thathad lasted about ten days. When first stricken, she was not believed to be seriously ill, but it was soonnoticed that a surgical operation for appendicitis was absolutely necessary. Drs. Hoch and Schulze, afterconsultation decided to have the operation performed, and secured the services of Dr. Thomas of Taylor.The doctor arrived on the belated Katy, Thursday night, accompanied by a nurse, and the operation wassuccessfully performed, but the patient never rallied, and peacefully passed away the next morning.The home, which had been such a happy one was broken, the mother of two little boys, aged four andtwo years, and one baby boy of seven months, has joined the great majority. Six years ago she stood bythe side of her now mourning husband and blushingly replied in the affirmative to the officiating official.She was a good wife and mother and her departure has left a bleeding wound, one which will ache andpain for many days. May the Creator comfort the grieving husband, her brothers and sisters and protectthe little motherless boys.Mrs. Willrich, whose maiden name was Witting, was born near Plum, January 30, 1888, and was thepossessor of a legion of friends.

In turning into a small ditch thejolt threw Mr. Willrich out of the buggy, and in falling the young man sustained painful sprains in bothankles. At this writing he is still confined to his bed and beside the severe pain of the injured members,is battling with fever. Johnnie Koehler also received a sprained ankle.The La Grange JournalThursday, May 18, 1933Mrs. C. H. Steinmann Fatally Injured In WreckThe shock experienced by close friends of the family of C. H. Steinmann and that of O. T. Willrich,when the news was received by telephone early in the afternoon of Sunday, that the automobile driven byC. H. Steinmann, had turned over three times on the concrete highway about five or six miles fromBrenham, and that all occupants were injured, one fatally, can be easily imagined. It is deploring enoughto be compelled to chronicle the incident, without giving a prolonged detail of the accident that claimedMrs. Steinmann. The sudden termination of a drive to the Agricultural and Mechanical College atBryan, which had all the pleasure stored for offering, is sufficient in itself to warrant the mention that it ismost deplorable.65

Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Willrich and little son, O. T. Jr., and their niece Miss Lorine Kruse, and Mr. and Mrs.C. H. Steinmann had left La Grange early Sunday morning, their destination being College Station wherethe son of each of the two families are in attendance upon the College. The trip from La Grange toBrenham was uneventful; after a brief stop, a short meal, the journey was resumed, with Mr. Steinmannat the wheel, Mr. Willrich and son alongside. In the rear seat on the right side sat Mrs. Steinmann, nextto her Mrs. Willrich and Miss Kruse. We pass the detailed mention except to state that , as told to theJournal, Mr. Steinmann, finding his progress suddenly blocked by another automobile, crossing - thedriver of the other vehicle came in ahead of the Steinmann car - the highway, he swerved the car to theopposite side and applied the brakes. It all happened in a moment. The Steinmann car ceased to travelnaturally, turned completely over three times and finally settled on its side.All managed to crawl from the wreck except Mrs. Steinmann and Mr. Willrich; the latter was helped to aseat and while still conscious complained of pain and his head dropped onto his breast. Mrs. Steinmann,partly out of the car was bleeding profusely and her husband, frantic, sought to compel her to speak;blood gushed from her face and head, she lived only a few moments. All were taken as soon as possibleto the Milroy Memorial Hospital at Brenham, where surgical and medical aid was given, but uponexamination by the surgeons, it was found that Mrs. Steinmann was beyond all earthly help. Her bodywas taken in charge by the Brenham undertaker, and prepared for burial.Mr. and Mrs. Willrich remained at the hospital, Mr. Willrich, according to all information obtainable,received a dislocated vertebrae and was promptly placed in firm leather bandage, X-ray examination didnot disclose a break, but a dislocation; Mrs. Willrich, suffering internal pain and injuries to limb was ableto see some of the many inquiring friends, and Miss Lorine, whose foot was cut, was also retained at theHospital. Little O. T., the son, escaped injury. Mr. Steinmann, injured severely by bruise, with possibleinternal injuries, refused to remain at the Hospital, and accompanied the body of his wife to La Grange,in an automobile, and both the funeral coach and the automobile reached here shortly before eighto'clock. In care of Dr. Hoch, Mr. Steinmann was put to bed and made as comfortable as possible.Monday afternoon, Rev. Chas. Nash, pastor of the First Presbyterian church officiated at the funeral.Mrs. B. C. Westbrook of Dallas, niece of Mr. Steinmann, sang "Abide With Me," at the home, precedingthe religious services.Interment was held at the new cemetery. The attendance upon these last rites was very large, thesaddened faces gave evidence of the sincere sympathy that all encouraged for the stricken family.Ladies of the Eastern Star, auxiliary of the Masonic Order, attended in a body, and officers of theauxiliary rendered the beautiful and impressive ceremony at the open grave. In attendance, also, werethe cadets from A&M College, of which Weldon Steinmann was captain. Flowers, coming from everyneighborhood, beautiful emblems, a profusion that was spread out beyond the plat of ground, completelyhid the earthen couch.The active pallbearers were: Geo. E. Lenert, W. W. Few, John Schroeder, Roy H. Giese, P. A. Nikel,Wm. Loessin, Cooney Letzerich and E. H. Moss. The honorary pallbearers, all friends of the family.Sunday last was "Mother's Day." To these two families the day had a special meaning, each had a son atthe College; the happy expectancy, of pinning a flower on the boys at this College where the day was tobe appropriately commemorated is easily imagined. That pleasure a mother encourages, to witness thepresence of her son, and to have been honored with the duty of pinning that flower, unmindful of anyother possibility than to arrive at the College, be greeted by their sons, and spend in accord with the day,is recognized. Chatting, looking forward to the hour when the exercises were to be held, few hours ingenuine happiness, these two mothers were relegating all else, and then - with the swiftness of the arrowthe sudden change. The red flower, to have been worn by Weldon Steinmann, the son, was removed,and the white flower taken.Mrs. Steinmann, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Willenberg, was born in La Grange, August26, 1881, the third daughter and the fifth child, and was reared in La Grange. Her death leaves only onemember of the Willenberg family, the eldest son, E. R. Willenberg of Freeport. She was united inmarriage with C. H. Steinmann in La Grange, November 11, 1906, three children were born to thisunion. These are: Chris A. of Dallas, Miss Mildred, and the youngest son, to graduate in June from theA&M College; Weldon. She is also mourned by two nieces and one nephew.Mother's Day! What destiny could have assumed control on this the day when the offspring hadwelcomed the hour the recognition of the day could be given. What can mortals, imbued with thethought that a tribute to the living mother would bring happiness and incite more ennobling deeds on thepart of the boy or the girl who experiences the joy to remember her, offer except to encourage the hope66

that it was so decreed. Question not, is the rebuke; the Journal editor, ever willing to add to thehappiness of those who are so deserving, witnessing the scenes that brighten the eyes of the parent andchild and bring a happy beat to the heart, feels the keen loss that this husband and these childrenexperience. What comfort can the Journal offer to them in this their hour of grief, except to point out theway, and accept the mandate as issued. Cruel? When we contemplate the happiness that seemed to havebeen suddenly elevated to the throne, and witness the cruel change, from laughter to sob, from smile totears, nothing seems to be at our command.Let Him who stilled the storm and rebuked it, look upon those who today are bowed in grief and stay thesorrow that has been so heavy.The La Grange JournalThursday, May 25, 1933Otto T. Willrich Failed To Return HomeWhen relatives who had visited with him at the Brenham Hospital last Wednesday afternoon, returned toLa Grange, they gave out the unfriendly report that while his condition was considered favorable, O. T.Willrich, injured in the automobile accident the Sunday previous, was far from being able to return, andin the event he did return, he would have to wear braces. Which, unwilling as were his relatives andfriends to accept the inevitable, denoted nothing less. That the invasion of death should occur, as fast asit did, was to everyone a painful shock. Mr. Willrich died at about 3:00 o'clock Thursday morning.Sunday, May 14 - Mother's DayO. T. Willrich, Mrs. Willrich and son O. T., Jr., and niece, Miss Lorine Kruse, and Mr. and Mrs. C. H.Steinmann, in the Willrich family automobile, were en route to College Station to attend the programarranged for the entertainment of fathers and mothers for Mother's Day, and met with a very deplorableaccident. In that accident Mrs. Steinmann was fatally injured and died within a few minutes after theautomobile ceased to run; Mr. Willrich was taken to the Brenham Hospital, a dislocated vertabrae beinghis chief injury. From Sunday morning until Thursday morning he lingered, and at 3:00 o'clock, withouta struggle, he passed to his reward.The body was brought to La Grange and prepared for burial; at the family home in the western end of thecity, funeral services were held, and from the home the body was taken to the St. Paul Lutheran church,where Rev. R. Heise spoke in eulogy of the departed and the choir and Sunday school sang appropriatehymns. The place of worship was filled with sympathizing friends, on the church yard were equally asmany, who came to mingle their tears with those of the relatives and to pay respect to one who was everregarded as a worthy citizen, a good father and husband, a friend to those who desired his friendship.Interment was made at the new cemetery, with flowers banked high and over much space at the newlyacquired plot. The pall bearers were: O. E. Stolz, Alex. E. von Rosenburg, O. E. Hagemann, FredWolters, Milton Schmidt and B. F. Harigel.Biographical and ReferenceOtto T. Willrich was born on what is generally known as Bluff, to the south of La Grange, and was thethird child of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Willrich, who lived in that part of the county for more than fifty years.He was reared on a farm, and was instructed in the events of life yet to transpire, to be honest, frugal, andabove all, gentlemanly in his demeanor to his fellow man. His parents were of that high type of citizenrywho merited the good will and respect of their neighbors, and the children born to this union upheld thatregard; Otto T. Willrich being a living example for many years. Otto was born November 29, 1877; afterleaving the farm he became associated with the local firm, The von Rosenberg Company; his strictattention to business, his loyalty, and his genial approach to custom, merited his continuance in theemploy; that firm has lost a valuable man.Unpretentious, believing in that principle that the best friends are those who are friends because theirfriendship is merited, he lived in peace and contentment with everyone. Fourteen years ago, late in yearsof manhood, he was united in marriage with Mrs. Annie Addicks, and that union was blessed with onechild, O. T. Jr. The widow and son survive. He is also survived by two brothers in Houston, Louis andHans, and one brother of near La Grange, George Willrich. Three sisters, Mesdames V. C. Sladczyk andGeorge Schaefer, and Miss Rita Willrich also survive. There are a number of nieces, cousins andnephews who will miss this good old boy, who always had the right hand extended in welcome.The little widow, injured in the same accident, her face still discolored and her limbs aching from theeffects of that injury, bore up bravely; she will miss him as all loving wives shall miss their chosencompanion, but, in her firm belief she accepts the verdict of the Master, and looks forward to that day67

when the reunion shall occur. "It is God's will, and I shall not complain." What more beautiful can bethe words of one who leaned upon the staff of her husband, and with him found peaceful happiness intheir church membership. Her older son, Gilbert O. Addicks, to whom Otto was ever an advisor andcompanion, upheld the arms of his mother and with equal fortitude bore up well under the affliction,both in the same faith and hope, looking forward to that Great Day when events of this sad nature shallcease.Flowers are brought to the bier of one whom the community loved; in the passing of a citizen, that touchof Nature that makes the whole world kin, is exemplified by deed, and words of sympathy expressed.When the sad news came, there was manifested an interest and sincere sympathy that would bring to theconfession of appreciation, grateful words from the most indifferent. The little widow, abed still fromher injuries, welcomed her friends, they came constantly and with that open-hearted feeling of kinshipcreated by the severing of the threads of life, sought to allay the pain that this parting had created.The Journal believed in the man all knew as plain, good and kind Otto Willrich, the friendship of longstanding suffered the blow to be inflicted and questioned not; yet, as the editor looked upon the calm,placid face, and in the next room saw the little woman who had, hand in hand gone down the pathway oflife in real happiness, carrying on with him in every reversal as well as gladsome event, witnessed theirsincere devotion and unflinching faith in their religious demeanor, it brought the usual query: "Why thisseparation?"May Time deal gently with all who are feeling the pang of a temporary parting, and may the eventide,when the joy was experienced ever, at the home-coming, be robbed of its cruel sting, and that absencewhich is so keenly felt, become less effective, to the end that even she who believed and still believes,may find comfort at the knowledge that temporary absence is but a meagre part of that course of humanexperience that ends in blissful communion, when loved ones shall gather together again, for all time.More About Otto T.

Happily there was no necessity for their presence at thescene of trouble. This was quite a disappointment to most of the boys, who were keen to go - anything,you know, to break the monotony.107

Judge Willrich had many friends in this part of the county, and he always found a heartywelcome when he came to mingle with us. We know, and everyone knows, that eventually, this debt is tobe paid by us all, but we decline to have it thrust upon us.During his career as county judge of Fayette county, Judge Willrich found many loyal supporters in thissection; they regarded him as their friend and many are the friendly deeds he did for them.

Our first stop was at Lueneberg, where we visitedbriefly with a cousin of the Judge's, then to Hildesheim, which teems with the things that most interest108

us; legend, folklore houses of ancient date, and customs of other days. The one thing there, which all theworld knows about, is the one thousand year old rose bush. It is to be seen in the court yard of this Dorn,and its story is connected with the foundation of that church.I'm not a souvenir hunter, but a number of small sprigs have dropped from the main stalk, and I am goingto preserve the one I picked up for Mr. Heintze, knowing how he treasures and appreciates suchthings.**The Rathshaus is most interesting, the frescoes are of a symbolic nature, and all tell in some way theearly story of Hildesheim. We had a bottle of wine in the Rathskeller, this being included in any orderthere, and were shown about this portion of the building - the celler, I mean.The houses are most noticeable, going up into peaks, with small windows peeping out of the extremelyslanting red tiled roofs. One need not to be told that they are very old; there are whole streets of them,special attention being attracted to the small house called the "Inverted Zucker-hut". In Hildesheim wefirst met up with young people, boys and girls, most of them with packs on their backs. The Judge isalways eager for information, and talked with a man who was in charge of the boys thinking he was ateacher. He was a merchant in charge of the "North German Merchants' Jugentag." I have one of theirprograms before me, and note that it says from June 23 to 26 will be spent in the beautiful old town ofHildesheim. These boys are to be merchants and the Judge enjoyed talking to them, as they enjoyed hisconversation. We met up with the crowd often during our sightseeing that day.We spent the night in Braunschweig, and attended the theatre. The Judge didn't like the shave andmassage he got there and could not help but make comparisons with our home barbers. He became quitegrouchy after this bit of unsatisfactory treatment, and I fear, will always retain and unpleasant memory ofBraunschweig - otherwise, Brunswick. We took an early train for Leipsig, the one great object of interestthere being the mighty war memorial. It is the largest of Germany's war memorials, on the scale of thepyramids, one might say, and far beyond mere words of mine to describe.This is Sunday, being a most beautiful day in point of weather we saw on the one hand, gay partiesfilling the trains and going to the country for a day in the open, and on the other hand the men andwomen in the fields, literally, "making hay while the sun shone."At Leipsig we called up our American consul, Mr. De Soto, not that we needed his services, but to givehim greetings from a mutual friend, and his comrade in the service, H. C. von Struve, some years ago ayoung law student at La Grange and a member of our household. Mr. de Soto managed to locate us atthe station, which is said to be the largest in the world, but he stated it wasn't so difficult since he saw thegrip which had been lettered by Mr. Rose: "George Willrich, La Grange, Texas, U.S.A." He was mostcourteous and regretted that he couldn't have shown us some real attention - our time was short. We leftthis place at six o'clock. Our friend, Mrs. Watson, conducts the party and knows the ways and means ofdoing things here. She visited these places only recently, which gives her added advantage of taking usat once to the object of interest without loss of time.Upon our arrival in Germany the mark stood at 150,000 to the dollar, now it is 90,000. When we pay afew thousand marks for a meal, we cannot convince ourselves that it is only a few cents, what we'd in oldLa Grange would call ridiculously cheap. Another great service Mrs. Watson does for us , is managingour finances, far beyond us, although it is really only about twenty dollars in our money.Mrs. George Willrich** Had it been so willed, Mr. Heintze would have been granted a lease on life until your return, and yourthoughtfulness would have brought from him a thankful smile. But, he has joined the great majority, andthere are many who mourn as you will, at the knowledge here given. - EditorNuernberg, Germany,June 27, 1923.Editor Journal:We came to Nuernberg from Berlin, passed through a most picturesque part of Germany, several hundredmiles, since it is an all-day trip. There were castle-tipped hills, almost mountains, in the background, andsince the sun was shining, the people were very busy in the hay fields, in the foreground. It has beenraining so much that they are kept busy trying to save their hay. This activity added interest to thepicture for us and the brightness made the perspective perfect. There was so much to see that the Judgetook his seat by a window and wouldn't listen when we called him to look at the other side, saying it wasall he could do to keep up with one side.109

The train service is splendid, but trains are generally crowded at this time. We didn't happen to get onewith a diner, so found variety in making the stations for Frankfurters and beer, or whatever was to behad. This is vacation time in Germany and everywhere there are people, singly, in couples or groupswith packs on their backs, going from place to place. Teachers and children go about in this way; we hadour picture taken with such a group in Dresden. The children were all in for the lark and hastily climbedupon the gigantic piece of statutary that was to be the background.People have a time keeping up with the money, and inquiries are made daily by everybody as to how thedollar stands. As foreigners we are charged double, and then it amounts to very little, about twenty-fivecents each for an extra good meal. The Judge enjoys talking to the people, and we have enjoyed meetingmany in the train. The coupes have room for six or eight generally. The French "adieu" is entirely out,everyone says "auf wiederschen". On entering the hotel you are greeted by each of the attendants, andevery morning the same.At Potsdam the castle used by the late emperor, is open to the public since 1918. It was built byFrederick the Great, and rivals "San Souci". The body of the late empress rests in a mausoleum near by,facing a rose garden; this, according to her request, it is said. The casket is to be seen - the only onethere - and fresh flowers, too. There does not seem to be the least sympathy for the late emperor orinterest in him, which some account for by his marriage.The richest treasures in Europe are to be seen in the castles; the "Gruene Gewolbe" in Dresden is the lateking of Saxony's storehouse of jewels and works of art, other than paintings, and rivals Ali Baba's cave inrichness. The articles, or most of them, were gifts to the king of Saxony through the ages, by otherpotentates.This city is known - to us - as a toy manufacturing center. It was fortified, and the ancient towers -immense structures - are to be seen here and there. One is directly opposite this modernly equippedhotel.Sight-seeing is very hard work, but Mrs. Watson is able to save us annoyance in every way. She attendsto the tickets and gets us about in short order, where, left to ourselves, precious time would be consumedin making inquiries. Muenchen, or Munich, is our next stop before going north again for Oldenburg;from there we will go to Bonn on the Rhine. Some say there are difficulties in traveling in that section,but we will be with relatives. Until then.Mrs. Geo. Willrich.The La Grange JournalThursday, November 29, 1923Mr. and Mrs Geo.

Announcement of her death created many expressions of regret, regret that shewho had ever been at the call of service in civic work, should have been called hence. Age of thedeparted was not given thought.Mrs. Willrich, born Olivia Tuttle, a daughter of a pioneer citizen of Fayette county, who came fromRochester, New York, a century ago, was born at Pin Oak, southwest from LaGrange, removing toFlatonia with her husband after their marriage, later coming to LaGrange where Judge Willrich, firstpracticing law, later serving the county as county attorney and for 16 years a county judge, made hishome. Denied the happiness of children being born to this union, Mrs. Willrich took to her care and foreducation, those whom she desired to assist.Brilliant of mind, capable as a writer, and always willing, both in her church work and in her literary andcivic work, she aided many worthy enterprises of the city. Friends never found her reluctant, sheappeared where her services were welcomed and where such service could be of benefit.Family connections being identified, first with the struggle of the colonists, she was recognized as adaughter of the American revolution; with her father removing to the South and both her husband's fatherand her own identified with the Confederate army she devoted much time in keeping the organizationknown as Daughters of the Confederacy active, and served officially in the local chapter; her name wasalso connected with the Daughters of the Texas Republic. Active in church work, affiliated with theCatholic church, she was constantly aiding and abetting some worthy effort in behalf of that church andwas instrumental in organizing the Mothers' Club of the Sacred Heart Parochial school at LaGrange.Interested in the preservation of the tomb on Monument Hill south of LaGrange, she served for manyyears as president of the Monument Hill Memorial Association; due to her efforts, assisted by othermembers of the Association, beauty was restored to the sacred spot and a memorial tomb was erectedover the bones of the Men of Mier and Dawson's men who fell at Salado Creek, near San Antonio.Never unwilling, never too tired despite the constitutional ailment that was her's, she joined with theCatholic Women in keeping the National Council of Catholic Women, Brenham District, active. Theoffice of president of that organization was in her charge when she was stricken by her last illness. Shewas arranging to attend the meeting that was to be held Sunday, November 23, at Galveston. Deathinterfered. Due to her knowledge of business, parliamentary law and the work that women can do, shebecame a member of the Business and Professional Women's Club of LaGrange.Thursday morning Requiem Mass was celebrated at the Sacred Heart church by Rev. S. A. Zientek.Following the Mass Rev. Zientek review-ed the life of Mrs. Willrich, and in an eloquent tribute, spokenwith emphasis and with sincerity pointed to the many deeds of good she had committed during her nearto four score years and ten.Attendance upon the obsequies was large; friends who were associated with her civic endeavors, whichincluded the Garden Club of La Grange, and relatives of both her husband and her immediate family,were present. The last respects were paid at the cemetery where beautiful flowers covered the couchunder which she will sleep.Among those attending the funeral services, and coming from a distance, the following (which is only apartial list) are given:L. W. Kemp, Mr. and Mrs. C. C Shumway of Houston.Misses Edna J. Tuttle, Helen Tuttle, Marion Tuttle Brazelton of San Antonio.W. E. Schmid, Emily Schmid, Hilda Schramm, Mrs. James F.

While ailing for several years the death of Emil Richers, Sr. which occurred at the family home south of town,November 10, came as a shock, none expecting so sudden an end. He had about decided to remove to Bay City,when his condition grew steadily worse and his end came hurriedly.Emil Richers was born in Germany, and in 1846 came to America. At all times he was identified with theprogress of La Grange, was its mayor in the sixties, and for many years a merchant. He was united in marriagewith Miss Elise Huebner and to them were born twelve children, two of whom died in infancy. The ten childrenliving are: Mesd. Geo. Kehrer, and F. A. Otto, Houston; Mrs. R. A. Kehrer, Bay City, and Misses Regina andFrancis Richers; the five sons are John, Victor, Louis who is married and Gust. and Alfred, all grown. Foursisters, Mrs. P. Nordhausen, Miss Hermina Richers and Mrs. H. A. Eck of Bluff and Mrs. C. Hubrich of Berlin,Germany, and one brother, Robert Richers of Bluff, beside his widow, also survive.In his passing away, the county has lost one of its early and energetic settlers. The remains were placed to theirlast rest at the Cedar cemetery last Thursday, a large following witnessing the sad rites. May he rest in peace.

LottoPages 260-261Published Schulenberg, TexasSeptember 1902Geo. HuebnerThis country has furnished numerous instances where men with only limited education, but with practical sensehave risen to the brightest walks of life. Not schooling, but practical common sense is the key to success. Geo.Huebner is and eminently practical man. During his early years as a teamster he had the chance to becomeacquainted with the ways of life. His shrewd observation developed in him a sound judgement. On the road,from his fellowmen and from nature, but not from books, he gathered his information. His knowledge comesfrom the first source. And he not only has a fund of practical knowledge, but also knows how to express hisviews with energy and clearness. He is an interesting talker. The writer has heard with deep interest his views onroad building and road improvement and he must confess that he never has heard sounder views on this subjectthan those expressed by Geo. Huebner. But not only on this, he has sound views on almost any question. From1898 to 1900 he served one term as county commissioner. When he retired from this office, declining to stand reelection,it was the general verdict of the people that they never had had a better commissioner. The writer agreesfully to their verdict and is of the opinion that a better man, a man with sounder judgement and greater commonsense can not be found for that office.Geo. Huebner was born at the Bluff settlement August 16, 1851. His parents were John A. and Pauline (Willrich)Huebner. They came to this country from Germany while quite young. His father came from Bavaria, and firstimmigrated to Texas in 1836, but on account of Indian raids he went back to New Orleans without settling inTexas. He returned in the early 40's and then settled in the Bluff settlement where both parents remained till theirdeath.Geo. Huebner worked with his father on the farm, went to school and drove team. He acquired quite a reputationas one of the most skillful teamsters of the county, for it required skill to handle six to eight teams of oxen. Afterthe war, he married Miss Lisette Warnken, the daughter of a prominent old settler at the Bluff. This union wasblessed with six children: Louis, Helene, Annie, George, Ellie, and Augusta.George Huebner is a prominent successful farmer of the county. From 1898 to 1900 he served the county ascommissioner which office he filled with great efficiency to the satisfaction of the people.The La Grange JournalOctober 13, 1933Of Historical InterestBy Leonie Rummel WeyandTwo Surviving Members of Fayette County Ox-Team Caravan to MexicoMemories of the days when great cotton caravans meandered through miles of bandit-infested mesquite andcactus to bring fantastic profits to their owners still live vividly in the minds of George Huebner and JohnSpeckels now living in La Grange. These two are the only living survivors of the Fayette county crew who sodeftly handled ox-teams with the chant, “Haw”, “He”, and “Gee.” The redoubtable two have lived to see thismode of transportation superceded, first by railway, then by truck, and now by the unbelievably fast air express.206

Not that they are impressed by these fast moving contraptions. Oh, no! They see in the slow moving ox-teamswhich they so skillfully manipulated, disciplinary value to the young entirely absent in the breezy transportationused by the younger generation. In fact, these stalwarts attribute much of the jazziness of the present generationto the devilishly fast machines which enables the young folks to be “On again, off again, gone again, Flannigan.”These hardened ox-team drivers further contend that the hazardous occupation of hauling cotton to Mexico duringtheir ‘teen years when boys of today haven’t yet finished high school, developed in them brawn and grain andfortitude to see a disagreeable thing thru. These two boys, all in their eighties and as tough as pine knots, arebrilliant examples of the efficacy of their “take ‘em young and treat ‘em rough” theory.George Huebner, one of the two who did teamstering duties during the sixties, has a remarkable memory and aready flow of picturesque words. He lives about twelve miles from La Grange on a rich black land farm, aninheritance from his pioneer father. Near his home is the burial ground of the unfortunate Men of Mier, who wereexecuted in Mexico and those of the Dawson Massacre. Members of the Huebner family were present at theburial in September, 1848.Until recently, Huebner’s physical vigor was a match for his alert mentality. A year ago, against the advice of hischildren, he attempted to break a wild horse which promptly threw him. An injured leg now hampers hismovements but in no way diminishes his remarkable energy.Huebner has no patience with the mamby-pamby “finickyness” of the present generation. “I wonder”, he says,“How they would have survived just one trip to the Mexican border.” He made five. “The dust”, he continues,“was awful – like a dense cloud. We looked like mounds of earth slowly moving along.” Huebner’s descriptionof the dust menace is borne out by a story appearing in the Houston Tri-Weekly Telegraph of April 29, 1863.“The drought extending from the mouth of the Rio Grande to within thirty miles of the Nueces, has proved to bethe most thorough vegetation destroyer of any kind that has visited the country in years. The country begins tolook as if seared with red hot irons. Surface water sink holes give a feeble supply of water highly impregnatedwith offensive gases and saline properties. Oxen by droves are falling by the wayside, never again to bear theyoke or put their shoulders to the cotton loaded wheels. Rain we must soon have or the transportation jig willassuredly be up; the dust of the earth filling the eyes, nose, mouth and hair – making one feel gritty often anddusty always – dust of which a man eats his peck monthly and breathes daily – a terrible, inhuman, diabolicaldust. A kingdom for a shower is the standing offer.” And not a shower bath, girls.In his smooth flowing style, Huebner tells the following story of his cotton hauling experiences:“Slave owners in Fayette county gave the Confederacy all the cotton they could spare. Those not owning slaveswere forced to suffer confiscation of one-half of their cotton crop. Hauling cotton was a branch of militaryservice that found favor among some Fayette county citizens; for, in spite of the long, hazardous journey, it wassafer than serving in the army. Before being permitted to haul cotton, the teamster had to procure a detail, acontract with the government which pledged the teamster to haul at least five bales of cotton to Mexico, the roundtrip not to take longer than three months. The contract provided that certain contingencies such as a brokenwheel, lost oxen and failure to secure food for the animals would be considered legitimate reasons for a tardyreturn. Some of ----------------- abandoned the ox-team, and proceeded on by steamer to New Orleans where they joined the Union forces.These men later drew fat pensions. Christian Lomaun, and expert ox driver of the sixties, whose partner left hisox team in Brownsville, performed the unusual feat of driving back both ox-teams from the border.Since it was impossible to maintain a check on the drivers, killing time systematically was the order of the dayamong some of them in order to increase the time between trips and to postpone compulsory military service.The teamsters received for services rendered, twelve cents per pound of cotton transported – but in Confederatemoney.Fayette county teamsters hauled to Mexico not only cotton raised in Fayette county, but also cotton that wasraised in East Texas and in Louisiana. Cotton raised in these two sections was not hauled directly to Mexico, butwas dumped at certain convenient concentration points, from which, it was relayed to its destination. Thesepoints were Alleytown, Bernard, Columbus in Colorado county, and La Grange and Round Top in Fayette county.There were two cotton agents in Fayette county, Judge J. C. Stiehle, stationed in La Grange, and A. Meerscheidt,at Round Top. Cotton sent to Fayette county was hauled to one of the following places for re-shipment toMexico: Brownsville, Mier, Rancho Davis, Laredo or Eagle Pass.207

A cotton convoy usually consisted of from three to fifteen wagons. From five to seven yoke of oxen werenecessary to pull one wagon. It was necessary for teamsters to take along sufficient food for the entire trip, foroften food was not available. Procuring enough food for men and oxen was often quite an undertaking.The difficulties of the Confederate, state and county governments were by no means ended when the cotton hadbeen hauled to the border. Here the cotton was likely to seized by the Mexicans, the Federals, or even by theConfederates. On one occasion a convoy of eighteen wagons from Fayetteville was captured by Mexican bandits.The Mexicans stripped the teamsters of everything - - cotton, wagons and ox-teams. The men had to thumb a ridehome or walk. Bryan Lane, an unfortunate member of this party, was killed by the Mexicans and, as a warning tofuture teamsters, was buried with his hands and feet sticking out of the ground.The Fayette County Commissioners in 1863 conceived the idea of buying cotton and selling it to Mexico forrelief of the county’s destitute war widows and orphans. In accordance with this plan, they bought thirty-twobales of cotton from William J. Russel to haul it to Mexico. At King’s Ranch, the party was seized by GeneralBee, who had been forced to evacuate Brownsville as a result of the Federal invasion. Negroes, teams and cotton,according to Russel, were impressed into service by General Bee, who compelled Russel to sell him the cotton atfifty cents per pound, Confederate money. When Russel made his report to the Commissioners’ Court, theyagreed to let him keep the money given him by Bee as a remuneration for freight charges.Still another large shipment of cotton that was a total loss to the owner, belonged to William Neese of Warrenton.He had sent thirty-eight bales of cotton to Mexico with the following teamsters in charge: J. C. Moss, F. Holman,Conrad Tieman and Mano Garbardes. In Brownsville, Neese’s cotton was taken away from him by order ofGeneral Brown, the Federal Commander in charge of the Forty-third Indiana Infantry, the Sixty-second Ohio (acolored regiment), and the Second Texas Regiment. It was the colored Major of the Ohio contingent whoactually took possession of the cotton.The fraud in the cotton business which aroused such indignation among the soldiers and patriotic citizens ofTexas was not entirely absent in the Fayette county teamsters’ trade. A Confederate law prohibited teamstersfrom carrying more than ten bales a trip, and special agents were placed at Flatonia and at Gonzales to supervisethe transportation. By splitting with them, it became an easy matter to arrange with the agents to carry an extrabale or two, and with cotton selling at forty cents per pound, such a rascally procedure was highly profitable.The second of the surviving teamsters, John Speckels, eighty-five, and a peppy as a sophomore, recalls that theConfederate government sponsored the first trip of cotton hauling that he made to Mexico. The ------unsatisfactory schedule, Speckels, explained, was due to the fact that the necessary food for the men and oxenthrough the long desert stretches along the last part of the journey was not promptly furnished by the Confederategovernment. During the waiting period, perhaps the most satisfactory of all to the men, hunting parties wereorganized, which netted rich bags of wild turkey and plenty of deer. Deer and turkey meat with rye coffee andbread made a satisfying meal. The Speckels lad was unfortunate and contracted measles on the trip. A rain stormcame up and the sick boy spent the night trying to hold a flapping wagon cover back in place. He suffered arelapse and as a result his hearing today is slightly impaired.The exhausted men and oxen finally reached Eagle Pass. The place named as a cotton depot by the Confederategovernment. Here the Confederate officials ordered machinery to be placed on the wagons and delivered in SanAntonio on the return trip. A sturdy band of German farmers, all neighbors of his father, were Speckel’s nextcompanions on a cotton hauling trip to Mexico. By agreeing to turn over over one-half the profits to thegovernment, Speckels secured permission to take cotton to Mexico. The hazardous journey was safelynegotiated. The cotton was sold in Rio Grande City for thirty-one cents per pound. The youth carried the moneypaid him for his father’s cotton (in Doubloons) safely in his belt. The same financial success that attendedSpeckels’ trip to Mexico has followed him throughout life. His business ability has made profitable all hisventures. Speckels, in addition to the part that he played in transporting cotton during the Civil War, has assistedmaterially in the industrial development of Fayette county. He represented his county in the State Legislatureduring the years 1895-97.Brownsville, on Texas soil, and Matamoras just across the Rio Grande, on the Mexican side, formed the hub ofthe contraband cotton trade during the war days. These two places became the Sodom and Gemorrah of theSouthwest. It was said of Brownsville that it was at that time the rowdiest town in the most lawless state of the208

Confederacy. And Matamoras, her sister city and Mecca for the riff-raff and adveuturers of three nations, did herworst to outdo her American twin in sin. As a result of the cotton boom, Matamoras mushroomed in populationfrom eight thousand to forty thousand almost overnight. Men made millions in the cotton business. The Stillmanand Ranger fortunes are brilliant examples. The Ranger Brothers bought 650 bales of cotton from the Willisfamily in Houston, at six cents a pound. The Willis’ were forced to sell at a sacrifice to prevent confiscation bythe Confederates, but neither side could confiscate cotton owned by Gus. Ranger because he was a German Jewand an alien. He carted the cotton at once to Matamoras, from whence he succeeded in shipping it to Englandwhen cotton prices were at their peak. He was said to have received the fabulous price of a dollar and eightycents per pound. He became later one of the “cotton kings” of the world.People from every corner of the globe rushed to Matamoras, lured thereto by fantastic tales of immense fortunesmade with effortless ease. Union sympathizers and draft evaders drank beer with cotton agents, importers andmerchants of all nations. There was just one person who was “persona non grata” and that was an abolitionist.Any person was privileged to shoot him down at sight, and all the year-round was open season on these verminand conviction for such sport was unknown.Business was good in Matamoras during the war. Importers who opened with well-stocked shelves often had toclose within a week because their merchandise stocks were completely sold out. The town was filled tooverflowing with goods of all descriptions, and people rented and moved into thrown-up shanties. Even then,constantly arriving merchandise could not be housed. Owners were forced to stack their goods on the ground andexpose it to nature in the raw – which is never mild. Ingenious Yankees shipped in a big lot of tarpaulins whichwere hired out to the merchants at a dollar a night. Harrassed merchants used them to cover a valuable store loadof imported goods.Such is the picture painted by George Huebner and John Speckels of the thriving business in contraband cottonhauling and trading between Texas and Mexico during -------- .The La Grange JournalThursday, May 7, 1936"Death Claims Aged Native Born Citizen of Fayette, Monday"Although in failing health for the past ten days, yet ever in a cheerful mood, even until Sunday night, andentertaining visitors in his usual friendly manner, George Huebner, one of the oldest native born citizens ofFayette county, died at his farm home shortly after the midnight hour of Sunday. He seemed to know, however,that the oil was fading fast, and accepted the responsibility with grim resignation.George Huebner was an interesting character; born on what was in the early days of the county known as theBluff, on a farm November 6, 1851, he grew to manhood on that farm. During the more than 84 years, in whichhe lived in Fayette county, he was very observing and knew much of its history, which he ever delighted to referto when visited by relatives and friends.George Huebner was a mere lad when he became a teamster in 1863, and one of which carried cotton intoMexico. To dwell on the incidents of that period would require several columns, yet the Journal refrains not fromsaying that his recitals of those days, when it required nerve to be a teamster and when one had to forever remainon guard against the seizure of the staple he was hauling by either the Confederates, the Federals or the Mexicangovernments. Yet, all turned out well, and the then young man grew in body, and in mind.When death claimed George Huebner, it took the last member of the teamster force in this county; his fellowteamster in the days that tried men's souls, was John C. Speckels, who died last year. With him was buriedTuesday, the voice that often, very often entertained those who were seeking history and adventure stories.After the civil war closed, and reconstruction days followed George Huebner returned to the farm and remainedthereon; he was united in marriage with Miss Lizetta Warnken, early settlers of the Bluff section, and farmed onthe same farm first settled by his father. To this union ------- children, the first born dying in infancy. The livingchildren are: Louis and Miss Helen Huebner of La Grange; Mrs. Forrest (Annie) McMillan of Ballinger; Geo. L.Huebner of Lane City; Mrs. G. W. (Ella) Albrecht of La Grange and Miss Gussie Huebner, R.N., of San Antonio.Surviving also, are one sister, Mrs. Eliza Richers of Bay City and three brothers, Andrew, Louis, and Franz209

Huebner, all of near Bay City. George Huebner was the first to break the family tie of children born to hisparents. There are also nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild, and several nephews and nieces.George Huebner, prevailed upon to make the race for County Commissioner of Beat No. 1, entered the race andwas elected and served for one term (1899-1900) refusing to stand for re-election. In closing the reference to anhonorable and life-long citizen, the Journal refrains from giving many of the interesting incidents of the eightytwoyears in which he lived only a short distance from La Grange. In bidding him to rest, we have given the lastrespects to one who lived in the immediate vicinity of La Grange, ---------- the good of the county. May he sleeppeacefully.More About George Huebner:Burial: Abt. 06 May 1936, City Cemetery, LaGrange, Fayette Co., TXNotes for Lisette Warnken:The La Grange JournalApril 10, 1924Floatsam and JetsamPeople Who Come to and Go From La Grange For a VisitIn attendance upon the obsequies of Mrs. Lizzie Huebner Sunday, and coming from outside points, were:Hermann Warnken and family of Yoakom, Geo.

Mrs. Huebner, it may be said, came to her death as arelief from much suffering. Devoted to her children, her departure will leave a vacancy, such as time alone shallheal. We deeply sympathize with the husband and the sons and daughters; death comes into a home when wewould strive to defeat its approach, but as the flowers bud and bloom in Spring, and the leaves fall with the firstblast from the North, so inevitably we must all pay the common debt.Mrs. Huebner, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Warnken, early settlers of this section. For many years thefamily resided upon a farm several miles from La Grange, and only a few years since removed to La Grange. Theseparation or dissolution that has now occurred is the pang of sorrow that only those who have experienced asimilar affliction can well appreciate. She enjoyed the great privilege, however, of seeing her children becomegrown, and to them was the comfort and solace that a dutiful child finds.Sunday afternoon they carried her remains to the new cemetery and placed them to rest; in attendance upon thelast rites were sympathizing relatives and friends from the town and country and from neighboring cities.

Notes for Helen Marie Huebner:The La Grange JournalThursday, September 17, 1936"La Grange Woman Is Fatally Injured In Automobile Accident"Miss Helen Huebner, owner and operator of the Helen-Marie Beauty Shop on Colorado street, died inthe Bastrop Hospital Tuesday morning from injuries received in an automobile accident that occurredSunday afternoon. In the automobile with Miss Huebner was Mrs. Roy Head, Mr. and Mrs. HarryHlinsky and Miss Lillian Hartmann. Pitcher Hlinsky had fulfilled a contract to pitch in a ball game atTemple.The accident has been described to the Journal reporter in several ways, each different; it appears,however, that in driving on the highway, following a rain, the machine skidded, when near Bastrop,struck the loose shoulder of the highway and crashed down the 15-foot embankment. When help arrivedit was fund that Miss Huebner's injuries were such as to warrant her being rushed to the Bastrop Hospitala mile or two distant.Mrs. Head is, as this is being prepared for the paper, a patient at the La Grange Hospital, and is in adazed condition.

Huebner:The Matagorda County TribuneBay City, TexasApril 7, 1911Great Cotton Country.A. E. Huebner, one of the largest land holders in this county, is very enthusiastic over Matagorda county and theprospects for her becoming one of the greatest cotton counties in Texas. He said that he and his two brotherscame to Matagorda county in 1886 and that in 1887 planted their first cotton crop. This they kept up for severalyears and in all their many crops they did not experience a single entire failure, although one short crop wasrecorded. The best crop was one of two bales to the acre and the rest ran from one-half to a bale.In late years, however, the Huebner Brothers, whose holdings go beyond 10,000 acres of some of the finest landin Matagorda county, have been stock raising and what cotton they have raised has only been incidental. But Mr.Huebner says that cotton is not an experimental crop here by any means and that this county is as good for thestaple, if not better, than any in Texas.He is a strong believer in diversification and gives an interesting account of what might be accomplished in this,the brightest Mid-Coast county.The Daily TribuneBay City, TexasJune 11, 1948Andrew Huebner, Pioneer Cattleman Matagorda County, Dies At Age 94First Came To County In 1886 To Raise CattleMr. Andrew Huebner, pioneer cattleman of Matagorda County, died Thursday evening at 8 o’clock, following anillness of long duration. He was 94 years of age and until recently was still “riding the range” with the youngercowboys on his spread.It was in 1886, sixty two years ago, when Mr. Huebner was then a man of 32 with many tales of the Civil Warstill vividly in his mind, that he came to Matagorda County from Fayette County where he was born near LaGrange. He began then to buy land in the county. In 1909 he moved his family here where they have lived since.Like many members of his family, he was extremely healthy with a constitution which allowed him to performduties which would have felled many men younger. He thrived on outdoor life and hard work, enjoying hisroundups with the enthusiasm of a tender foot.213

At 94 one would have considered him at a ripe old age, but he was four years a junior to his sister, Mrs. LillieRichers who is now 98. And besides Mrs. Richers there is a younger brother surviving, Mr. Franz Huebner who isnow 90. Both reside in Bay City. Another brother, Louis, preceded him in death.

"I taught at Iago 3 years before I married. We sent out invitations to all the school parents and everybody - thewhole town was invited if they wanted to. The reason I said that - because I got about 300 presents. I had morepresents, I tell you - nice ones, and a whole lot of cut glass - more than anything else. And anyway, we weremarried in the morning, and then we ate dinner in Richmond and went down to the Bristol Hotel and stayed allnight at the Bristol Hotel and went down to Galveston the next morning and spent the next day and night down inGalveston."Did you go on the train?"No, we went in the car. He had a Saxon Roadster. I don't suppose they make the Saxons anymore. I thoughtthey wouldn't have so much trouble, you know, with such a big to-do, but it was a big thing anyway. A lot ofthem stayed overnight - the guests. And Kiki, of course, fed them all."Why did your minister come all the way from Houston?"We didn't have a minister there - you see Kiki organized the Sunday school and we just had a visiting ministerwhen you could get one. That was Dr. Johnson. He's the one from Ireland. I guess he's dead and gone by now.I've got his picture in there."("... the couple tried to slip away without being seen" from the newspaper clipping from the wedding."We did, and Bernard got in front of the car and wouldn't get out of the way. I haven't heard the announcementparty notes (newspaper clipping) in a long time. I know we did, and we had a big cake pan that was made in theshape of a heart, and I guess they used angel food cake recipe or something, anyway some white cake and it's agreat big heart about like this(circle made with whole arms) and it's hanging on the wall out there in the little house. Kiki had it made whenLoudie married because they wanted a big wedding cake and nobody had a pan like that and so she had thepeople in Wharton to make one for them - the blacksmith I guess you'd call him. And that's the last cake I made -one for Billy's 6th birthday and it takes about 3 recipes of Angel food cake to fill it and so I was going to make abig cake for him and for some crazy reason - I guess 'cause there was too much dough in it for it to cook through,the thing fell. It just went down to about an inch and one-half through. It really ruined it - that cake wasn't goodat all and so we got along without the cake, but I never made another cake.

Franziska Sophie Eleonore 4 Willrich (Georg Carl 3 , Wilhelm Christian 2 , Johann August 1 ) 1,2,3,4,5,6 wasborn 17 Oct 1835 in Uelzen, Germany 7 , and died 24 Apr 1931 in Bluff, Fayette, TX. She married John R.Vogt 8,9,10,11 27 Jan 1857 in Fayette County, Texas. He was born 09 May 1832 in Schleswig-Holstein,Germany 12 , and died 14 Sep 1909 in Bluff, Fayette, TX.Notes for Franziska Sophie Eleonore Willrich:The La Grange JournalNovember 15, 1928“Black Beans of Death”(From The American-Statesman)It is a cold, gloomy day in March of 1843. A dismal wind startles weird echoes in the trees and canons ofmountainous country near Salado, Mexico – rising in the mountains and sweeping with vicious insistence down tothe little settlement where one hundred and seventy-six men are doomed to die.In their hearts there is little hope of release. They sit in the stifling air of a rude shed, converted into a deathchamber from a barn, and wait orders to march before a firing line and surrender their lives for Texas. Awaitingthe surrender of their all – these who had scorned all other surrender as not befitting men who had swornthemselves to win freedom for their state.Their clothes were worn threadbare, their feet were sore and lacerated from those long days and nights on themountains without food or shelter while they sought the way back to Texas. Bodies were weak and helpless fromthe long exposure and in their minds was no thought but the release death would bring. In the hands of theMexican general Santa Anna they hoped for no mercy.Guards enter the room and silently place the men in heavy iron chains, ordering each to stand in line as he wasbound. No word is said – then one of the Mexicans holds an official looking document to the light and readsorders that chill the blood of every man who heard them. They had expected death – death for them all accordingto the will of Santa Anna. Their capturer, General Mexia, had written his relentless commander, asking freedomfor the prisoners, and Santa Anna had granted that only one man out of every ten would be shot and that theothers might be spared.In the history of Texas is written many chapters of dramatic happenings, but none more powerful in ironic twistsof fate than the scene that followed the reading of the cruel orders.An officer, holding an earthen mug in his hand, comes into the shed where the Texans were confined and boundin chains. In the mug were one hundred and seventy-six beans, the number of the prisoners. One hundred andfifty-nine beans were white and seventeen were black. The prisoners were each to draw a bean from the mug.The black beans meant death.To tell the rest would be only to repeat a story known to all Texans, for the destiny of the Mier prisoners – menwho dared to enter the enemy’s country out-numbered many times, to save their comrades captured by GeneralWoll at San Antonio – will be re-told and remembered through many generations.It is from the lips of Mrs. Franciska Vogt of La Grange that the story was recently recounted with a new andgripping angle on the well known incidents – for Mrs. Vogt is the one person living who was present andremembers when the bones of these seventeen men were brought back to Texas soil and buried on the bluffoverlooking her home in La Grange. And it was on her 93rd birthday that she recalled that solemn ceremony of1848, when as a child of 13 she rode bareback to the site where the Mier prisoners were re-buried with honor andpraise.313

“Ah, I shall never forget how it looked – that procession of men riding mules and leading others with the bones ofthe Texans slung in gunny-sacks across the backs of the animals,” she said, her eyes once more glowing with theamazement she must have felt as a child. “They came right into town, and when I heard what was going to bedone, I remember I ran and jumped on my pony and raced to the top of the hill for the ceremony.”“I do not remember much of what happened, except that it was all very solemn and quiet as the bones werecarefully and tenderly buried up there on the hill. Then the monument was put up – the big limestone tomb underwhich are the remains of those seventeen men who drew the black beans of death.”Mrs. Vogt recalled that she was unable to get astride her horse after it was all over – remembering, as she says,more of the smaller details that made an impression on a young mind.“I know it was some man from Austin who helped me – some nice man who held my horse and helped me swingup to ride back home again, but I do not know who, though I still remember how he looked that day,” she said.The little old lady who will soon reach the century mark also told the story of the man who took the black beandrawn by a comrade away from him and died in his stead. The incident may be legend or true, but Mrs. Vogtstates that she has heard it all her life and believes its veracity. It is told that the first to draw the fatal lot was aman with a wife and children back at home, and that his friend forced him to exchange the beans so that he mightlive.Though the names of this Damon and Pythias of Texas history may be lost in the maze of years, what a monumentto friendships that face life and death with equal unselfishness!The burial of the Mier prisoners is only one of the incidents of early Texas history that can be told in the firstperson by the gray-haired and smiling grandmother and great-grandmother of La Grange. She came to Fayettecounty from Germany in 1847 with her mother and brothers and sisters, following the father George Willrich,who had come the previous year and located a home. Mrs. Vogt tells that the state gave 300 acres of land toevery man with a family who settled in that country then – land as wild as if it had never been touched by man.“These hills were thick with wild animals and rattle snakes, but I got used to them and remember riding all overthe country by myself as a child,” she relates. “I will always remember one time when I was going after thehorses for my mother and came up on a lot of commotion in the woods. When I got to a clearing, I saw sixwolves tearing at the body of a deer they had killed.”Mrs. Vogt’s father was a prominent judge in the “old country,” and came to America with many other immigrantsduring those years who sought freedom and prosperity in the new land. He had a large family of children whosechildren and children’s children are numbered among the settlers of the state. Mrs. Vogt’s own children are Mrs.Ernest Knigge of La Grange, with whom she makes her home; E. R. Vogt of Schulenburg, Julius Vogt ofO’Quinn, Mrs. Fritz Nollkamper, Fritz Vogt, La Grange.The story of the Mier prisoners will again be placed before the people of Texas during the next legislature, it wasrecently learned, as the senator and representative from that part of the state, Senator Gus. Rusek of Schulenburgand Rep. James Pavlica of Flatonia, are to ask that 50 acres of land along the top of the bluff where the men areburied, be purchased by the state for a state park and a memorial to their heroism. The land is available forpurchase at this time, and as the location is ideal scenically for a beautiful recreation resort, they will use all theirpower to pass the bill creating the Mier park for Texas.A monument already stands on the court house square at La Grange, erected several years ago by the state “to thememory of the men who drew the black beans and were shot at Salado, Mexico, on March 24th, 1843,” and toCapt. N. H. Dawson and his men who were massacred at Salado, Texas, in September of 1842. The remains ofsome of these men are also said to rest with the Mier prisoners in the tomb at La Grange, brought back by thegroup who went by mule train on their errand of such grim homage.To follow the trail of these one hundred and fifty-six men who were spared in the fatal lottery at the haciendo ofSalado would be to wonder whether or not the man who saved his friend did not leave him the worse fate. Dyingof unbearable hardships on their march into Mexico City, wasting away in dungeons, shot while trying to escapeand a few finally winning their way back to Texas, the group one by one went the way of their comrades whodrew death from the glass of chance that day. But no matter what followed for them, it would surely be safe to314

imagine that none experienced deeper agony of suspence, or grief for his comrades, than when they plunged theirhands into the little grains of matter, colored black and white, that meant a promised freedom or a black doom.LA GRANGE JOURNAL30 APR 1931FRANZISKA VOGT"Grandmother Vogt Passes Away"Reaching the age of 95 years, 5 months and 7 days, Grandmother Franziska Vogt, one of our most interesting andesteemed citizens closes the last chapter of her life 24 April 1931. She was born 17 October 1835 in Germany andcame to Fayette County with her mother, Mrs. Geo. Willrich, and sisters and brothers in the year 1847. Herfather, a prominent judge in the old country, had come over the year before to locate a home for the family.Texas gave three hundred acres of land to every man with family who settled upon its soil, land seeminglyuntouched by man, with wild beasts and snakes roaming at will. They went through many trials during these days,and to hear grandmother recite some of the history of her younger days was interesting. In 1928 the Journalreproduced an account entitled: "Black Beans of Death", a story told by the subject of this sketch on her 93rdbirthday anniversary, which had been published in the Austin American. She recalled the solemn ceremony of1848, when a child of thirteen she rode horseback to the site where the Mier prisoners of war were reburied withhonor and praise, on Kreische's Bluff. After the death of her husband, John Vogt, 22 years ago, she continued tolive at the old home near O'Quinn, where her youngest son, Julius, now resides. About ten years ago she came tolive in her declining years with her daughter Mrs. E. Knigge of this city. It may truly be said of her, she won thelove of all with whom she came in contact, and will be greatly missed.Mrs. Vogt was the mother of eight children, five sons and three daughters, of whom three preceded her in death:Mrs. H. Schroeder of this city and Geo. Vogt of Schulenburg; Hans died at the age of 8 years. The living are:E.R. Vogt of Schulenburg, Mrs. Fritz Nollkamper, Mrs. E. Knigge and Fritz Vogt of this city and Julius Vogt ofO'Quinn. Twenty-three grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren, besides two step sisters, Mrs. Anna Gross ofSan Antonio and Mrs. Louise Koehler of this city are among the sorrowing relatives. Interment took place at theCedar Cemetery Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. C.O. Boatman officiating.More About Franziska Sophie Eleonore Willrich:Burial: 25 Apr 1931, Cedar Cemetery, Fayette Co., TexasNotes for John R. Vogt:LA GRANGE JOURNAL23 SEP 1909IN MEMORY OF JOHN VOGTWhen the visit of the death angel was made to the home of John Vogt, near Cedar, last week, Tuesday, September14, 1909, the spirit of one of Fayette County's oldest and most beloved citizens journeyed to the far-off home todwell with the great majority who have gone before. The entire vicinage where he was most highly respected andrevered was wrapt in sorrow and heartfelt expressions of regret were frequent. John Vogt was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany May 9, 1832, and when a lad of seventeen years emigrated to America, landing at GalvestonAugust 31, 1849. His journey to Fayette was made in the primitive manner of that time, by ox-wagon. Forseveral years after his arrival he earned his living by daily labor. In the year 1857, January 13, he was united inmarriage with Miss Franziska Willrich, one of the then popular belles of Cedar. The ceremony occured at thehome of Dr. Dencker, which home still stands and shelters a daughter of the doctor. After one year's residence atthis place, the family removed to the home which was the deceased's until the final call was made and he passedout of the knowledge of earthly matters. The union was blessed with eight children, one of whom died manyyears ago. The seven living are: Mrs. Hermann Schroeder of Cedar, E. R. Vogt of Schulenburg, Mrs. FritzNollkamper of Swiss Alp, George Vogt of Swiss Alp, Fritz Vogt of La Grange, John Vogt of Cedar and Mrs.Ernst Knigge of La Grange. Seventeen grand children and one great grandchild also mourn the loss of good oldPapa Vogt.Wednesday morning of last week the funeral was held from the old homestead and the remains, followed by animmense cortege, were conveyed to the Cedar Cemetery and laid to rest with beautiful and impressiveceremonies. Rev. Kern, pastor of the Lutheran Church at Swiss Alp, spoke of the good qualities of the deceasedand commited his spirit to the care of the Maker. Judge Willrich, who is related to the family, also spoke at thegrave dwelling on the ennobling life led by his relative. Mr. Vogt was one of the Texas Confederate soldiers. At315

the last reunion, held here in May, he was unable to take part. At a former reunion the remaining soldiers of whatonce was a strong company were photographed. There were not many present but the picture shows the faces ofdetermined men. It was this picture the writer was shown when he last visited the home of the deceased. Hecherished this with the pride characteristic of the grizzeled old veterans of today, who, in their youth, shoulderedtheir muskets in a cause they believed right. It was at that time I learned to know more of Grandpa Vogt and tolove him for his goodness of heart and his consideration for the wants and rights of others. He is gone nowsleeping that long sleep that knows no awakening, but which is recorded as being the rest from which we will allarise some sweet day to share the blessing of the Messiah.A.

29 FEB 1940E. R. VOGT FAYETTE CO. RESIDENT BURIED MONDAYMr. E. Rudolph Vogt passed away at the family residence here on Sunday, February 25, 1940. Death resultedfrom an injured hip and leg which was hurt when he fell about two months ago. Worn and weak from an activelife, his frail body could not withstand the severe pain. "Judge" Vogt, as he was called by most of the people inthe community, was born October 15, 1859, near Cedar, in Fayette County. He received his early education inthe Fayette County schools and as a young man took private lessons in Civil Engineering. When he had reachedthe age of nineteen years, he started out to work as a surveyor and for 60 years he followed that profession.On December 6, 1883, he won the hand of Miss Anna Nollkamper, who has lived through these many years at hisside. The wedding ceremony took place in Cedar. In the year 1888, he was elected to the office of countysurveyor and he held that office for 50 years. For the past 38 years he had been justice of the peace in thisprecinct and during that term of years has had only two opponents. In the year 1918, when the American Partywas so strong, he was the only county official who was re-elected to office. In his years of work as surveyor, hecovered practically the whole of the State of Texas and as far as we know today, no lawsuits have ever occuredover any of the surveys he made. "Judge" Vogt not only was active in the above mentioned professions, but hewas one of the first persons to help organize the First National Bank of Schulenburg in 1916. He was one of thefirst to help organize the Bluff Mutual Fire Insurance Company, which is over fifty years old and still goingstrong. He wrote the by-laws, rules and regulations of that group of farmers. He was the man who helped establishall of the mail routes out of Schulenburg. There were many other projects which live on through this man, whohelped found them, who is not with us any more. For the past 34 years he has made his home in the city ofSchulenburg. One of the expressions which we have heard many times within the past few days is that: "He wasfair, impartial and just in all of his dealings." No finer tribute can be given to a man. It will not seem the samehere in Schulenburg to not see the "Squire" come down the street with his cane in his hand and his pipe in hismouth. He will be missed by his many friends who have gathered for years on Saturday afternoon to play a fewgames of dominoes. His wise council, given freely, to all those who need sound advice, will go begging. Our,and every other community, needs more men who will live the life of Mr. Vogt. He was a wonderful father andhusband and did his all to make his family happy and contented.He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and Charter member of the Schulenburg Lutheran Church. Funeralservices were held from the family residence on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock with interment in the CedarCemetery. Rev.Hornung and Rev. Kuretsch officiated at the last sad rites. Choirs of both the Lutheran andMethodist Churches sang the hymns. A large number of people from this and surrounding areas came to pay theirlast respects. Floral bouquets were numerous and very beautiful.Surviving to mourn his passing are: his wife Mrs. Annie Vogt; three sons: Charlie, Emil and Otto; twograndchildren: Charlie Vogt, Jr. and John Carrol Vogt; two brothers: Fritz Vogt of La Grange and Julius Vogt ofCedar, and two sisters, Mrs. Fritz Nollkamper and Mrs. Ernest Knigge, both of La Grange.

During the eight years hehas been in business in this city his every business transaction has been stamped with the mark of fairness to all.Now that his life work has been accomplished and the dark curtain that hides the beautiful beyond from mortaleyes, has been softly drawn aside for his passage, the sorrowing family and friends can console themselves withthe knowledge that the God above, who supervises our incoming and our outgoing with His infinite wisdom, hasbalanced his Book of Life and written across the page those words of boundless meaning "Well done, thou goodand faithful servant."323

The impressive Masonic service was given Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large number of friends from allpart of the county. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Paul Pieponbrok, and the Herman Sohns lodge, of whichhe was a member, assisted.Thus closes a life of unfailing devotion to his family, of unselfish service and uncompromising integrity towardhis fellowman. The sphere in which he grew to manhood and accomplished his life's work has been the better forhaving known him and he enters the future life without fear, secure in the knowledge that what his hand has foundto do, has been accomplished to the best of his knowledge and belief.More About George Karl Vogt:Burial: Abt. 06 Aug 1917, City Cemetery, Schulenburg, Fayette, TXNotes for Lina Nollkamper:The Schulenburg StickerFriday, January 28, 1955Mrs. George Vogt, Sr. Passes AwayThe funeral services for Mrs. George (Lina) Vogt, Sr., age 86 years, will be held from the Schwenke-BaumgartenFuneral Home, Friday afternoon, January 28, 1955 at 2:30 p.m.Interment will be in the Schulenburg City Cemetery.

So "Come unto Me all ye who areweary, and heavy laden, and I will give thee rest."OTTO WILLRICH, SR.Born in Elsen, Hanover, Ger. February 19, 1845Died at La Grange, Texas February 13, 1929Aged 83 yrs, 11 mos, 24 dysIn paying a tribute to this good citizen I seek not to worm my way into the good graces of those who were hisdependents, as children, I refer to the man whom I have known since my early youth; I use the honorable name"man" because, in the circle in which he lived he had the respect of every one who knew him, and never hesitatedto extend to me the right hand of fellowship. To have known him is one of the precious assets of mine. Hebelonged to that class of citizens who have made the world a better place in which to live; the legacy he leaves tohis children is not measured according to his holdings, but in the standard of worth, which prompts those whoknew him well, to say: "This was a man." He scorned to do a dishonest act, and was a living example of the sonwho believed it a valuable privilege to uphold, without stain - by act or speech - the name of his ancestors. Fromhis home, established when he took unto himself a mate, there was sent out a family of children who looked uponthe father as an example to emulate. Otto Willrich was a citizen who craved no honors; in his retiring manner ofliving, not alone or unto himself; the doors were opened by the magic word of welcome to all who cared to enter.And with endowment the Creator gives to the sturdy oak of the forest, to withstand the ravages of time and thevicissitudes of life, he bore, with fortitude, whatever affliction there was visited upon him, realizing that the lot ofall men, like the cross to the Savior, must be borne. He accepted these edicts as they were tendered. And whenthe Great Reader, of the Chart of Life, wrote the edict, January 26, 1922, that a companionship of 52 years shouldcease, he bowed in acquescence, and saw Mama Anna, his wife, start on her celestial journey. All partings arepainful, he lived on, patiently awaiting the hour when his name would be announced; yet he manifested his usualinterest in all things, and stood ready, like the soldier of honor, to obey a command. The world will not stopmoving because he is gone; the world will not be changed, because of his going; there are too many of us stillhere, but this vacancy his going has caused, will be sacred to those who bear his descendency, and it will be aninspiration to them, because, Otto Willrich, Sr., was a worthy trustee, a guardian of the name entrusted to him.He has passed to his sons and daughters, the sword of his father, of his grand-sires, and thereon is no tarnish. Hewas a credit to his family name. The loving prefix of father, following that of a son and grandson, remains as amemory in the circle in which he lived, and in the minds of relative and friend. I sincerely regret that myenfeebled condition prevented my attendance upon the hour when they carried him to his resting place. I am gladit was my privilege to have known him, I would have been happier to have been more closely associated withhim. The sympathy, at the loss of a father and brother, is expressed to his sisters, and to his children. B.F.HARIGELOtto Willrich was brought to America by his parents when still an infant - only one year old. His parents settledin the old Bluff section and took up farming. When Otto reached his fourteenth year, he was taken back toGermany, in order that he might receive the advantage of the tutelage of earned educations at his birthplace, andfor four years he remained in Germany.

Prevailed upon, some years ago to enter politics, he made the race for constable, and inthat capacity served this precinct for several years.His health began to decline within the past three years, and that once active and vigorous body was compelled toslacken the usual pace.

Steinmann and that of O. T. Willrich, when thenews was received by telephone early in the afternoon of Sunday, that the automobile driven by C. H. Steinmann,had turned over three times on the concrete highway about five or six miles from Brenham, and that all occupantswere injured, one fatally, can be easily imagined. It is deploring enough to be compelled to chronicle theincident, without giving a prolonged detail of the accident that claimed Mrs. Steinmann. The sudden terminationof a drive to the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Bryan, which had all the pleasure stored for offering, issufficient in itself to warrant the mention that it is most deplorable.Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Willrich and little son, O. T. Jr., and their niece Miss Lorine Kruse, and Mr. and Mrs. C. H.Steinmann had left La Grange early Sunday morning, their destination being College Station where the son ofeach of the two families are in attendance upon the College. The trip from La Grange to Brenham wasuneventful; after a brief stop, a short meal, the journey was resumed, with Mr. Steinmann at the wheel, Mr.Willrich and son alongside. In the rear seat on the right side sat Mrs. Steinmann, next to her Mrs. Willrich andMiss Kruse. We pass the detailed mention except to state that , as told to the Journal, Mr. Steinmann, finding hisprogress suddenly blocked by another automobile, crossing - the driver of the other vehicle came in ahead of theSteinmann car - the highway, he swerved the car to the opposite side and applied the brakes. It all happened in amoment. The Steinmann car ceased to travel naturally, turned completely over three times and finally settled onits side.All managed to crawl from the wreck except Mrs. Steinmann and Mr. Willrich; the latter was helped to a seat andwhile still conscious complained of pain and his head dropped onto his breast. Mrs. Steinmann, partly out of thecar was bleeding profusely and her husband, frantic, sought to compel her to speak; blood gushed from her faceand head, she lived only a few moments. All were taken as soon as possible to the Milroy Memorial Hospital atBrenham, where surgical and medical aid was given, but upon examination by the surgeons, it was found thatMrs. Steinmann was beyond all earthly help. Her body was taken in charge by the Brenham undertaker, andprepared for burial.Mr. and Mrs. Willrich remained at the hospital, Mr. Willrich, according to all information obtainable, received adislocated vertebrae and was promptly placed in firm leather bandage, X-ray examination did not disclose abreak, but a dislocation; Mrs. Willrich, suffering internal pain and injuries to limb was able to see some of themany inquiring friends, and Miss Lorine, whose foot was cut, was also retained at the Hospital. Little O. T., theson, escaped injury. Mr. Steinmann, injured severely by bruise, with possible internal injuries, refused to remainat the Hospital, and accompanied the body of his wife to La Grange, in an automobile, and both the funeral coachand the automobile reached here shortly before eight o'clock. In care of Dr. Hoch, Mr. Steinmann was put to bedand made as comfortable as possible.Monday afternoon, Rev. Chas. Nash, pastor of the First Presbyterian church officiated at the funeral. Mrs. B. C.Westbrook of Dallas, niece of Mr. Steinmann, sang "Abide With Me," at the home, preceding the religious401

services.Interment was held at the new cemetery. The attendance upon these last rites was very large, the saddened facesgave evidence of the sincere sympathy that all encouraged for the stricken family.Ladies of the Eastern Star, auxiliary of the Masonic Order, attended in a body, and officers of the auxiliaryrendered the beautiful and impressive ceremony at the open grave. In attendance, also, were the cadets fromA&M College, of which Weldon Steinmann was captain. Flowers, coming from every neighborhood, beautifulemblems, a profusion that was spread out beyond the plat of ground, completely hid the earthen couch.The active pallbearers were: Geo. E. Lenert, W. W. Few, John Schroeder, Roy H. Giese, P. A. Nikel, Wm.Loessin, Cooney Letzerich and E. H. Moss. The honorary pallbearers, all friends of the family.Sunday last was "Mother's Day." To these two families the day had a special meaning, each had a son at theCollege; the happy expectancy, of pinning a flower on the boys at this College where the day was to beappropriately commemorated is easily imagined. That pleasure a mother encourages, to witness the presence ofher son, and to have been honored with the duty of pinning that flower, unmindful of any other possibility than toarrive at the College, be greeted by their sons, and spend in accord with the day, is recognized. Chatting, lookingforward to the hour when the exercises were to be held, few hours in genuine happiness, these two mothers wererelegating all else, and then - with the swiftness of the arrow the sudden change. The red flower, to have beenworn by Weldon Steinmann, the son, was removed, and the white flower taken.Mrs. Steinmann, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Willenberg, was born in La Grange, August 26, 1881,the third daughter and the fifth child, and was reared in La Grange. Her death leaves only one member of theWillenberg family, the eldest son, E. R. Willenberg of Freeport. She was united in marriage with C. H.Steinmann in La Grange, November 11, 1906, three children were born to this union. These are: Chris A. ofDallas, Miss Mildred, and the youngest son, to graduate in June from the A&M College; Weldon. She is alsomourned by two nieces and one nephew.Mother's Day! What destiny could have assumed control on this the day when the offspring had welcomed thehour the recognition of the day could be given. What can mortals, imbued with the thought that a tribute to theliving mother would bring happiness and incite more ennobling deeds on the part of the boy or the girl whoexperiences the joy to remember her, offer except to encourage the hope that it was so decreed. Question not, isthe rebuke; the Journal editor, ever willing to add to the happiness of those who are so deserving, witnessing thescenes that brighten the eyes of the parent and child and bring a happy beat to the heart, feels the keen loss thatthis husband and these children experience. What comfort can the Journal offer to them in this their hour of grief,except to point out the way, and accept the mandate as issued. Cruel? When we contemplate the happiness thatseemed to have been suddenly elevated to the throne, and witness the cruel change, from laughter to sob, fromsmile to tears, nothing seems to be at our command.Let Him who stilled the storm and rebuked it, look upon those who today are bowed in grief and stay the sorrowthat has been so heavy.The La Grange JournalThursday, May 25, 1933Otto T. Willrich Failed To Return HomeWhen relatives who had visited with him at the Brenham Hospital last Wednesday afternoon, returned to LaGrange, they gave out the unfriendly report that while his condition was considered favorable, O. T. Willrich,injured in the automobile accident the Sunday previous, was far from being able to return, and in the event he didreturn, he would have to wear braces. Which, unwilling as were his relatives and friends to accept the inevitable,denoted nothing less. That the invasion of death should occur, as fast as it did, was to everyone a painful shock.Mr. Willrich died at about 3:00 o'clock Thursday morning.Sunday, May 14 - Mother's DayO. T. Willrich, Mrs. Willrich and son O. T., Jr., and niece, Miss Lorine Kruse, and Mr. and Mrs. C. H.Steinmann, in the Willrich family automobile, were en route to College Station to attend the program arranged for402

the entertainment of fathers and mothers for Mother's Day, and met with a very deplorable accident. In thataccident Mrs. Steinmann was fatally injured and died within a few minutes after the automobile ceased to run; Mr.Willrich was taken to the Brenham Hospital, a dislocated vertabrae being his chief injury. From Sunday morninguntil Thursday morning he lingered, and at 3:00 o'clock, without a struggle, he passed to his reward.The body was brought to La Grange and prepared for burial; at the family home in the western end of the city,funeral services were held, and from the home the body was taken to the St. Paul Lutheran church, where Rev. R.Heise spoke in eulogy of the departed and the choir and Sunday school sang appropriate hymns. The place ofworship was filled with sympathizing friends, on the church yard were equally as many, who came to mingle theirtears with those of the relatives and to pay respect to one who was ever regarded as a worthy citizen, a good fatherand husband, a friend to those who desired his friendship. Interment was made at the new cemetery, with flowersbanked high and over much space at the newly acquired plot. The pall bearers were: O. E. Stolz, Alex. E. vonRosenburg, O. E. Hagemann, Fred Wolters, Milton Schmidt and B. F. Harigel.Biographical and ReferenceOtto T. Willrich was born on what is generally known as Bluff, to the south of La Grange, and was the third childof Mr. and Mrs. Otto Willrich, who lived in that part of the county for more than fifty years. He was reared on afarm, and was instructed in the events of life yet to transpire, to be honest, frugal, and above all, gentlemanly inhis demeanor to his fellow man. His parents were of that high type of citizenry who merited the good will andrespect of their neighbors, and the children born to this union upheld that regard; Otto T. Willrich being a livingexample for many years. Otto was born November 29, 1877; after leaving the farm he became associated with thelocal firm, The von Rosenberg Company; his strict attention to business, his loyalty, and his genial approach tocustom, merited his continuance in the employ; that firm has lost a valuable man.Unpretentious, believing in that principle that the best friends are those who are friends because their friendship ismerited, he lived in peace and contentment with everyone. Fourteen years ago, late in years of manhood, he wasunited in marriage with Mrs. Annie Addicks, and that union was blessed with one child, O. T. Jr. The widow andson survive. He is also survived by two brothers in Houston, Louis and Hans, and one brother of near La Grange,George Willrich. Three sisters, Mesdames V. C. Sladczyk and George Schaefer, and Miss Rita Willrich alsosurvive. There are a number of nieces, cousins and nephews who will miss this good old boy, who always had theright hand extended in welcome.The little widow, injured in the same accident, her face still discolored and her limbs aching from the effects ofthat injury, bore up bravely; she will miss him as all loving wives shall miss their chosen companion, but, in herfirm belief she accepts the verdict of the Master, and looks forward to that day when the reunion shall occur. "Itis God's will, and I shall not complain." What more beautiful can be the words of one who leaned upon the staffof her husband, and with him found peaceful happiness in their church membership. Her older son, Gilbert O.Addicks, to whom Otto was ever an advisor and companion, upheld the arms of his mother and with equalfortitude bore up well under the affliction, both in the same faith and hope, looking forward to that Great Daywhen events of this sad nature shall cease.Flowers are brought to the bier of one whom the community loved; in the passing of a citizen, that touch ofNature that makes the whole world kin, is exemplified by deed, and words of sympathy expressed. When the sadnews came, there was manifested an interest and sincere sympathy that would bring to the confession ofappreciation, grateful words from the most indifferent. The little widow, abed still from her injuries, welcomedher friends, they came constantly and with that open-hearted feeling of kinship created by the severing of thethreads of life, sought to allay the pain that this parting had created.The Journal believed in the man all knew as plain, good and kind Otto Willrich, the friendship of long standingsuffered the blow to be inflicted and questioned not; yet, as the editor looked upon the calm, placid face, and inthe next room saw the little woman who had, hand in hand gone down the pathway of life in real happiness,carrying on with him in every reversal as well as gladsome event, witnessed their sincere devotion and unflinchingfaith in their religious demeanor, it brought the usual query: "Why this separation?"May Time deal gently with all who are feeling the pang of a temporary parting, and may the eventide, when thejoy was experienced ever, at the home-coming, be robbed of its cruel sting, and that absence which is so keenlyfelt, become less effective, to the end that even she who believed and still believes, may find comfort at theknowledge that temporary absence is but a meagre part of that course of human experience that ends in blissful403

Visions ofreward for the apprehension of an escaped convict, or thief or burglar may have been his, but he was brave and,opening the envelop, found the following terse message: "Viola and I were married here yesterday.""Yesterday", referred to in the message, was Wednesday of last week. "Viola" referred to, was Miss ViolaSladczyk, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Sladczyk of South Jefferson street, La Grange, and the "I" referred tothe sheriff's son, Wilburn. These two young folks, prominently connected and favorites with the younger set, hadjust regarded the brightness of Wednesday, after the snow storm, as an advance notice of their future, and down atHouston, joined hands, for better or for worse.In all sincerity we offer our congratulations and wish them a long and useful married life. The young bride isaccomplished in many ways, and has ever been a favorite with her friends, which practically means everyone whoknows her. She grew to womanhood here. Wilburn, for whom we have ever entertained a very high regard, andwhom we have known since his infancy, have watched him grow to young manhood and noticed his willingness towork and become identified with the farming industry and the community in which he has lived, is a son anyparent can point to with the keenest pride.As they journey through life, may the shadows that cross their path be few, if any, and the horizon be ever brightenough to keep inviolate their troth, so that the sunbeams of happiness will be with them and in their home, duringlife.The La Grange JournalTursday, April 26, 1928Bride Honored With Kitchen ShowerMrs. Wilburn Loessin was complimented with a kitchen shower and bridge, having as hostess Mrs. Leo Frede, Jr.,Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Leo Frede, Sr..

part of La Grange. Death followed quickly after he had made known his illness - - within a few hours. As was hiscustom and habit, and in which he ever found a great deal of pleasure, Mr. Koehler, apparently and in the verybest of spirits, and jovial as was his nature, left the house and looked to the feeding of his chickens. It was whenhe essayed to return into the house that he was stricken and had to be assisted. In spite of the fact that medical aidwas secured, he soon began his last earthly sleep. Near the eleventh evening hour' he received his wish, he fellasleep and passed out of the knowledge of all things earthly.Mr. Koehler was man whom to know was to love and admire; he had long since passed the usual allotment ofyears granted to mortals, and maintained his ever friendly disposition, always ready to extend the greeting to hisfellow man, and carrying with him an atmosphere of good cheer. We had all grown so accustomed him eachmorning and listen to his welcome voice, that now his absence will be noted by everybody. He was born inHalberstadt, Germany on the eighth day of April 1837, and grew to manhood in that country.In 1864 the deceased emigrated to America and landed in New York where he remained for one year and thencame to Texas and located at Bluff, in this county, where he engaged in farming.
