    Herman was educated in Round Top and La Grange. While attending school in La Grange, he stayed with his aunt, Amanda Meerscheidt. At the La Grange school he won a five dollar gold coin as most outstanding pupil in his math class.

    He went to work at the age of sixteen as a clerk at George Weyand’s store at Nassau. He later clerked at Marburger’s store, located between Fayetteville and Industry. Herman bought C. F. Hellmuth’s interest in the Hellmuth and Umland store in Round Top. He later sold his interest to Umland and took over the barroom and cigar factory part of the business.

    The cigar business became Herman’s main interest. He brought the tobacco in from Havana, employing as many as twenty-four men at a time. As his business increased, he added groceries to the store. He sold the liquor business as prohibition became an issue. He bought his brother Alexander’s dry goods, moving them to his own store. He also sold cotton and produce.

    About 1892 he built a two story home on six acres adjoining the public square in Round Top. He also bought farms a mile from town. He was a pencil sketch artist, and he served as secretary, treasurer, and president of the Round Top Rifle Association.

    Herman married Louise Marie LEVIEN on 1 Jun 1880 in Round Top, Fayette, Texas, USA. Louise (daughter of Carl Heinrich LEVIEN and Margaretha DURR) was born on 31 Jul 1862 in Greenvine, Washington, Texas, USA; died on 6 Dec 1950 in Bellville, Austin, Texas, USA; was buried in Florida Chapel Cemetery, Round Top, Fayette, Texas, USA.

    Notes:

    Louise was born in Washington County, but her parents moved the family to a farm near Round Top when she was young. She was a member of the Lutheran church choir and singing society in Round Top. She was also talented at needlework and crochet, and she enjoyed dancing and horseback riding.

    Anna took over managment of her husband’s general store and farms after her husband died. She did have the assistance of her oldest sons and daughters. A few years later she sold the store to her son Walter. She later sold her home in Round Top and moved to Bellville to give her children a better education. After her youngest daughter graduated from high school, she moved to San Antonio to be with her two youngest children. After several years they all moved to Houston, but at the age of seventy-five, Louise decided to move back to Bellville.
