124	Arthur Remer Meerscheidt was born on January 22, 1882 in La Grange, Texas. Arthur’s whole life was determined and altered by an injury at birth, due to pressure of a blood clot on the brain producing seizures which though not epileptic were similar in effect. A paralysis of his left side occurred at birth. He never went to public school but had private tutors, until his father took him to live with a physician in Germany along with other members of the family. He had wonderful care and in the summers the physician took him to watering spas where several operations were performed on his left foot and left hand, but he remained paralyzed, and walked with a cane. Of course he never worked, but studied continuously writing in a little note book. He was very bright. Arthur made one trip back to Europe with the whole family in 1906 through the summer of 1907. On return the family moved to Washington and then over to Mercer Island. Here he went on long walks with the family dog and it was in 1914 that he went on such a walk, suffered a seizure, fell and hit his head on a large rock. He died almost instantly from the injury. Thus he was found February 22, 1914. Arthur had been a sweet and loving son and brother.	MEERSCHEIDT, Arthur Remer (I9640)

126	As a child, Thomas was a happy and mischievous boy who liked to play football and go fishing with his buddies.

127	As a child, Walter watched his gentle father suffer in the job market during World War I as anti-German sentiment tarnished innocent German-Americans. Walter was 22 when the stock market crashed, inaugurating the Great Depression. Casting about for a livelihood that would combine his interest in natural science with job security and independence, he picked veterinary medicine. Lacking the funds to live on the Texas A&M campus, he was passed around the dorm by his friends, bunking in first one room and then another to avoid the frequent room inspections. He would hurriedly move his clothes and books to a different floor before an inspection; but once, caught off guard, he hid in the very back of a closet, holding his breath while the officer scanned its contents for military neatness. Walter graduated from Texas A&M in 1935 and opened the Wupperman Animal Hospital in 1938 on North Lamar. About ten years later, he teamed up with Dr. Sam Spangler and expanded his office space. Widowed in 1951, Walter continued raising his two small children with the help of an aunt and other family members. After three years of single parenthood, he went to a PTA meeting one night and met his son’s third grade teacher, Elizabeth Knox Rowe. Elizabeth was an attractive widow with three young children of her own and two older stepchildren. They were married in 1954 and adopted each other’s children. Liz and Walter stayed young at heart by building their life around their family. Camping, hunting, fishing trips, picnics, barbecues, and large extended-family Oktoberfests were held at their country property. “Music Abend” —listening to classical music with friends in the evening, and year-round gardening at their Cedar Park ranch, after his retirement kept Walter, also known as “Doc” and “Wupp” active.

129	As the middle of eleven children, Clois learned early to take on family responsibilities. At age nine he had a paper route and sold newspapers on downtown Dallas street corners at the age of ten. The Depression hit and the family followed the strawberry and cotton harvests, occasionally settling one place long enough to enroll the children in school if other work was available. Educations was always encouraged, and Clois graduated from high school, Lewisville, Texas, in 1937. He served in the Navy during World War II as an electronics instructor and then used the GI Bill along with working at the state headquarters of the American Legion to complete his degree. He attended the University of Texas, graduating in 1949 with a degree in industrial engineering, the first in his family to get a college degree. They went to Ottawa, Ohio where both were employed by Sylvania Electric Products with stops at Shawnee and Dewey, Oklahoma with a short stint with Phillips Petroleum before returning to Rockdale in 1952 to work for Aluminum Company of America. Clois progressed from various industrial engineering positions to home office staff positions, management functions, and then into environmental management where he became instrumental in crafting environmental state policies and helping to draft legislation that impacted state and national environmental agencies. Clois worked 43 years for Alcoa before retiring at age 76 in 1995. Since retiring, he plays golf and spends time with family and friends.
