Since the Sorgel Cemetery (now called Richter Ceme.)was originally part Alwin Sorgel's land and Ernst lived Alwin's land adjoining the cemetery, it would make sense he was buried in Sorgel Cemetery. However, no headstone for him exists in what is now called Richter Cemetery or in other cemeteries in or around Round Top. | SOERGEL, Christian Ernst (I9612)

Stuart’s family moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico, as a small child where he attended school before graduating from New Mexico State Univeristy in 1949 with a degree in Agricultural Engineering. While in college he lettered in basketball and was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. In 1950, Stuart received a master’s degree in engineering from Utah State University. After college, Stuart worked for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Smith Machine Company of Texas. He purchased the Las Cruces branch of that company and renamed it Butte Pump Company. He operated the business until selling it in 1960. In 1968, Stuart founded Jornada Water Company, which was a private water utility which he sold in 1982. Stuart became Doña Ana County Roads Superintendent in 1964. He is a former chairman of the county’s Planning and Zoning Commission. From 1968 until 1989 Stuart owned Desert Drydoc, a boat and marine engine dealership. He also operated a 35-acre pecan orchard in Mesilla Valley, New Mexico, which was started by his parents. He retired in 1999. Stuart is a 35-year member and past board member of NMSU Aggie Sports Association and served on the University’s Hall of Fame Selection Committee. In 1998 Stuart was appointed to the Citizens Bank Board of Councilors.
“In March 1944, while a freshman at New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, Stuart enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces and served as an electrical technician on the C-46 Commando, a twin-engine military transport, in the China-Burma-India theater of World War II. Sgt. Meerscheidt was honorably discharged in July 1946, and used his G.I. Bill benefits to earn a bachelor's degree in agricultural engineering at New Mexico A&M and a master's degree in engineering at Utah State University… Stuart, who played varsity basketball at New Mexico A&M from 1947 to 1949, and Betsy were lifelong Aggie fans and supporters, and were fixtures at hundreds of Aggie basketball, football and baseball games for more than a half century. Betsy could usually be seen waving her Aggie flag and a red pair of bloomers at nearly every Aggie game. Besides being longtime donors to Aggie athletics, the couple sponsored the hydrotherapy pool in the Stan Fulton Center at Aggie Memorial Stadium in 2008, and established the Stuart and Betsy Meerscheidt Athletic Training Education Program Endowed Scholarship Fund for NMSU athletics students. More recently, they established the Stuart and Betty Meerscheidt Family Rentfrow Fund in the NMSU Department of Kinesiology and Dance. Stuart was inducted into the NMSU Athletic Hall of Fame on March 7, 2015. While raising his daughters, Stuart raced mini-stock cars at Mesilla Valley Speedway and tunnel-hull boats throughout the Southwest, enlisting his girls as his pit crew. Racing was always a family affair with the Meerscheidts, as were fishing trips to Mexico, weekends at Elephant Butte Lake, elk hunting in the Gila Wilderness and many other adventures. He was active with the Las Cruces chapter of China-Burma-India veterans and other veterans organizations.” | MEERSCHEIDT, Stuart Paul (I2660)

The Anders family made fine cloth, like fine linens. Father Anders was a dashing officer in the Prussian Army, and a heavy bettor on horses. After his marriage he is said to have bet away much of his wife's money, and finally disappeared. It is thought that he came to the United States, but that was never established.
Auguste's mother's people were flour millers in Herzberg, Saxony, and very wealthy. Auguste had two very handsome sisters, one of whom married a Koenig, of Koenig u. Verlag, publishers.
Of medium stature, Auguste herself was beautiful, with brown hair, and liquid blue eyes. A serious, devout girl, she doubtless inherited some typical Prussian sternness of cold countries, where life is hard. Or did the trials of her dear mother make her so earnest and conscientious? It is agreed, however, by all who knew her, that she was genuinely kind, sweet, and generous. Perhaps, too, she chose to share William's feeling of at least partial responsibility for bringing the family to Texas, and therefore a determination to help him make good here.
Aged twenty-four, she was newly married and en route to a strange, rough land, with a life mainly of hardships and pioneering ahead, after probably some affluence and elegance. This must have required courage and determination, and great love and faith. She never saw her beloved mother or sisters, or her homeland again.
A good thing, perhaps, that the next twenty years were far too busy for vain regrets. She bore twelve children during years of pioneering, Civil War, and "Reconstruction" days. And she raised them well; lost but one—little Marie at the age of one and a half years.
She and her dear William helped found St. Martin's Lutheran Church of Austin. She never forgot the prospective positions apparently in store for them in the fatherland at the time of their betrothal. If one considers it a fault, then she was certainly partly responsible for the William von Rosenbergs sometimes being called "those proud, aristocratic von Rosenbergs." Yet with their accomplishments, they surely had a right to hold their heads high. Sweet, patient Grandmother Auguste richly deserved the affluence that came their way in later life.
Her death was caused by apoplexy at the age of seventy-two, and she is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Austin, Texas. | ANDERS, Auguste Franziska (I3909)

The day after Alfred packed his bags for Texas A&M, graduating from Marble Falls High School, his brother, who was to take over the chores of the ranch along with their father, became ill. He died a few days later of peritonitis. As a result Alfred had to forego furthering his education to stay and help his father. The ranch became his life and he would not take a vacation or leave home for more than a night. In addition to the ranch, however, Alfred had political, civic, and religious interests. He served on the school board for 22 years, frequently serving as president. He was President of the administrative board of the Methodist Church for many years. He also served as the Democratic Party Precinct Chairman, Past Master of the Blazing Star Lodge #413, board member of Federal Land Bank in Lampasas, on the board of the Cattleman's Production Credit Association, board member of the Burnet Hospital Board, and President of the Marble Falls Cemetery Association.

The eighth child in a family of nine, Sherald was raised in and around various communities in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico. The family worked in the log woods of southeastern New Mexico which necessitated moving from time to time. During summers and school vacations, Sherald worked available jobs as night attendant at a gas station, sawmill helper, log woods helper and ranch and farm worker. While working in a machine shop, he learned motor repair and decided to attend a vocational school. Sherald met Janice at Eastern New Mexico University while he was working on his Associate Degree from the Vocational Department. After graduation, he was inducted into the Army in July 1969. Boot Camp was at Fort Ord, California. After basic training, he was sent to Aberdeen, Maryland for AIT. His training took him to Germany for one and one-half years where he did maintenance on tanks and other track vehicles. Considering the choices at the time, Sherald was happy with the assignment and Janice joined him in 1971. In early 1972 the military issued early-outs for enlisted men. Therefore, they returned to the United States sooner than expected. He completed his enlisted time in the National Guard where he was eventually discharged. He then worked at the Ford dealership as a mechanic. In 1978 they moved to Roswell, where he worked for an independent automotive repair shop. In 1990, Sherald fulfilled his dream of having his own automotive repair business. He enjoys spending time camping and hunting. Watching his children grown into fine young people is his greatest accomplishment. | MELTON, Sherald Delaine (I7)

The flooded headwaters of the North San Gabriel prevented Lula Adams Hodge from traveling to see a medicine show that featured "Chief Hippa Kay Yo." The next morning the local doctor swam his horse across the swollen stream to the Hodge home nine miles north of Burnet, where he delivered to Lula and George Warren Hodge their first son, William Elgin Hodge. Uncle Jim Shelby jokingly consoled Lula for having missed the show by remarking, "You have your own little Hippa Kay Yo," and the appellation stuck, for Elgin was known thereafter as "Hip" Hodge. As he grew up on the family farm, he developed into a baseball pitcher of some renown, and long before the advent of the UIL, pitched for country ball teams all over central Texas. Featuring a wicked screwball, he once pitched twenty-six scoreless innings for a Fredericksburg team. Sports took a backseat after he began a family that eventually grew to include six sons. He farmed, raised livestock in Burnet County, and worked as a ranch manager until the drought of the early 1950s drove him to the city and employment at Diamond Alkali in Deer Park. The country life he was forced to abandon remained in his heart, but the labored as a chemical worker for 22 years without absence or tardiness. Retiring in 1976 he returned to Burnet County and built a retirement home on the banks of the San Gabriel within sight of his birthplace. During his retirement he enjoyed tending his livestock and garden, listening to radio broadcasts of baseball games, and attending Masonic Lodge meetings in the company of his boyhood friends. | HODGE, William Elgin (I29034)
