886	Captain Hamer grew up on the Welch Ranch in San Saba County and moved to Oxford, Texas in 1894. He initially worked in his father's blacksmith shop, then as a wrangler. In 1905, he helped capture a horse thief while working on the Carr Ranch. The sheriff recommended him to the Texas Rangers, and Frank joined the organization in April 1906. Frank became part of Captain J. H. Rogers' Company C. He resigned from the Rangers in 1908 to become the City Marshal of Navasota, Texas, a post he held until April 1911 when he became a special officer in Harris County. Frank rejoined the Rangers in 1915. During this second phase of his Ranger career he served on the south Texas border, served as Senior Ranger Captain at Headquarters Company in Austin, was instrumental in bringing order to the oil boom towns, and took on the Texas Bankers' Association "reward ring." Frank retired from the Rangers in 1932, but retained a special Ranger commission. In 1934 Frank was hired as a Special Investigator for the Texas prison system to track down gangsters Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. During the 1930s Frank worked for various oil companies and shippers helping to prevent strikes and breaking up mobs. He was called to Ranger duty again in 1948 by Governor Coke Stevenson to help check election returns in Jim Wells and Duval Counties in that year’s U. S. Senate race. He retired to Austin in 1949.	HAMER, Francis Augustus (I13298)
887	Carl moved to La Grange as a young man. He practiced law there until his death. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.	KRAUSE, Carl David (I6410)
888	Carl was born May 9, 1927, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, one of six kids to Carl and Elizabeth Schlotthauer. Carl spent several years growing up in an orphanage and a farm foster home following the untimely passing of his parents. Carl’s early life taught him farming and ranching skills that would shape his character and belief in hard work and perseverance. As a young teenager, he struck out on his own and headed west to Texas where he found work on a ranch near Amarillo. Barely 16, Carl enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in September of 1943. He trained at Camp Elliott, San Diego, California with the Raiders. His WWII Pacific Theater tour of combat duty as a Machine Gun Crewman and BAR rifleman included the islands of Saipan, Guam, Tinian, and Okinawa where he was wounded and received the Purple Heart Medal. Carl returned to the states after the war and began a career in the oil fields of West Texas. He met the love of his life there, Ms. Billie Jean Murray. They were married on June 28, 1951. Together they raised six children in San Angelo and later in Austin, Texas. Carl and Billie Jean worked very hard all of their lives to provide for their family. They emphasized upon their children to pursue higher education and hard work to better their own lives and opportunities. Carl spent the latter part of his career working on oil rigs in countries all over the world continuing to work as hard and diligently as ever. Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Semper Fi. Carl is predeceased by Billie Jean Barbuto and sisters, Henrietta (Charlie) Page, Dorothy (Rocky) Cochran, Lillian Duckworth, and Emma (Otto) Page. Carl is survived by his sister Helen Bird; children, Carla Robb, Linda (Tim) Erwin, Cynthia (Tom) Jenkins, Karl (Precilla) Hauer, Dorothea (John) Lane, and Eric Hauer; numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other relatives, and a host of friends.	HAUER, Carl Joe (I706)
889	Carl Wilhelm (Charley) von Rosenberg was born July 13, 1850, at Round Top, Texas, being the first child born to Auguste and William von Rosenberg, Sr. When he was about six years of age the family moved to Austin, Texas, where Charley grew up and spent most of his life. In his early manhood he studied the jewelry trade, but this work did not appeal to him. He then took up carpentering, in which he became very proficient, to the extent of being a good cabinet maker. He also obtained competence as a machinist. When a railroad survey was being made in the early days, probably for the I. & G. N. R. R., he joined the survey gang, working through wild and unsettled country, overrun with herds of buffalo and other wild game. There must have been a detachment of soldiers with them to protect them from any Indians who might choose to cause trouble. This work was much enjoyed by him; he later enjoyed telling of his experiences, especially their encounters with buffalo. Charley was a good marksman and always loved to go hunting and fishing. Almost up to the time of his death he would take his rifle and attend a turkey shoot and bring home a turkey. A short time before his marriage to Walleska Sutor, December 24, 1878, he moved onto the ranch two miles from Manchaca, Texas, where he followed stock raising and farming for about twenty years. From there he and his family moved to Austin to be with his aged father. After his father passed away, Charley and family moved to Colorado and settled on a small irrigated from near Greeley. This place he farmed until his death in 1918. In 1911 his exhibit of sugar beets at the Land Show in Chicago was pronounced by competent critics a most perfect type of desirable sugar beets, surpassing anything shown in the Coliseum Land Show in the sugar beet line. Also, an official of the Colorado Agricultural College was very much interested in his ability to design improvements on agricultural implements for better farming, and at that time he was asked to come to the college to instruct in this work, however he refused this offer. From time to time farm papers carried articles and pictures of his work. His farm exhibits at fairs were always attractive and won many prizes and ribbons for him. Charley was of a quiet, reserved nature, seldom laughing out loud. He was neat and thorough in his work to the point of excelling in any task to which he applied himself. Sincere, trustworthy and modest, he believed in justice for all.	VON ROSENBERG, Carl Wilhelm Jr. (I3912)
890	Carl Wilhelm, son of Peter Carl and Johanna von Rosenberg, was born on his father's estate, Eckitten, near Memel, East Prussia. He was tall, with piercing brown eyes and dark or brown hair. Upon completing the course at the Memel high school, Wilhelm served as a government surveyor's apprentice. In 1838 he was employed as private secretary to an administrative land official and accompanied him to Saxony. He held this position until 1841. Wilhelm then entered the army and served his time as a soldier until 1844, when he was appointed lieutenant in the reserves. Upon completing that assignment in June 1849, he was promptly discharged, proscribed because of outspoken democratic ideas and barred from further employment with the Royal Prussian government. This was during the time of political upheaval in Germany leaned toward despotism. Rather than have him receive a dishonorable discharge, Wilhelm's major allowed him to resign his commission as lieutenant in the Prussian Reserve Army. Wilhelm realized that he would always be opposed by governmental influences because of his liberal ideas, so, like many other cultured Germans of that period, he chose a career in America. At that, his father tried to dissuade him, believing that the princely despotism would surely not last long. Therein he erred. Being liberal and democratic father Peter Carl himself may well have been having difficulties and, with his family, suffering unpleasantness. At any rate, they were all deeply attached to one another and concluded that all should emigrate together and seek happiness under freer institutions. Wilhelm married Auguste Anders near Berlin shortly before sailing. The group of eleven landed in Galveston, Texas, in December, 1849. Early in 1850 William purchased a small farm, part of Nassau Plantation, owned by his father, near Round Top, Fayette County. He farmed for six years, learned the English language and in 1855 became a citizen of the United States. Being a skilled draftsman, he was called upon to draw a design for the Fayette County Courthouse in La Grange. This work gave such general satisfaction that he was recommended by American friends to the Commissioner of the General Land Office of Texas. In consequence, William sold his farm and moved to Austin in April, 1856. He was appointed draftsman at the first vacancy in October. In the meantime he made drawings of homes and buildings. His drawing of the Harrell home, one of the earliest in Austin, had hung in the Memorial Museum. He also made a drawing of the old Capitol, copies of which were in possession of several members of this family. It is his pencil drawings of Eckitten that we reproduced in the first von Rosenberg book (blue). The land office then occupied a small frame building in the Capitol yard. In 1861 he was appointed chief draftsman, which position he held until 1863, when he left to serve as topographical engineer under General J. Bankhead Magruder in the Confederate Army. His rank was Captain, in Hood's Brigade. Having known of slavery here before coming, William felt it his duty, upon the outbreak of war, to stand with the people of his adopted state. He participated in East Texas skirmishes near Sabine Pass. After the war ended, he resumed his position as Chief Draftsman in the General Land Office until the trying "Reconstruction" period. Starting from scratch after the war, in order to buy a home for his large family, William borrowed $800 in gold from Jacob de Cardova, a friend in Marlin. In 1871 he built a substantial stone residence on the corner of Sixteenth and Guadalupe Streets, where he resided the remainder of his life. In about 1867 he entered partnership with Major C. R. Johns, J. C. Kirby, and F. Everett in a profitable land agency business, which lasted about ten years. When banking was combined with the land agency, however, the business failed. Broke again through no fault of his, William then opened a land agency of his own in 1877 and did very well. He knew sound engineering principles and advised correctly against the location of a proposed Colorado River dam site. Once, when a newly arrived German immigrant came to his office, bowing and scraping with "Herr Baron" this and "Herr Baron" that, William declared emphatically, "This is America, where we don't have that." Though politically a Democrat, William ever reserved the right to follow the dictates of his conscience. He never sought nor desired public office. He was solicited to run for the legislature on the Horace Greeley ticket, but opposing Greeley's nomination, declined to enter the race. William von Rosenberg at all times manifested a deep interest in the prosperity and general welfare of Austin and Texas. He took a leading part in establishing the first free school in Austin. He was tall, erect, and dignified in appearance and of a composed and gentle manner, which his piercing eyes seemed to belie. He passed away at his home in December, 1901, and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Austin.	VON ROSENBERG, Carl Wilhelm (I3879)
891	Carlena continued her education at the University of Texas in Austin earning a degree in business administration after she finished school in La Grange, Texas. After graduating from college she married her college sweetheart and they both worked in Houston for many years. Carlena stayed in the business field and Henry worked as an attorney for the Gulf Oil Company. When Henry was transferred to the New Orleans, Louisiana office, they moved to Covington, which was in commuting distance. Both were members of the Covington Country Club where they played golf and met with friends. After retirement, Carlena did hospital volunteer work. They had no children.	KRAUSE, Carlena Dorothy (I14236)
892	Carolyn grew up during the depression years in Nettleton, a small town in Arkansas. Her father was cashier and vice-president of the only bank. He was also town councilman and school trustee. Her parents were both active in the Methodist Church and Carolyn was well-known. She attended public schools in Nettleton and also the school used for training teachers at Arkansas State University where she graduated with a degree in Business. Her uncle served as President of the school at that time. After being married and moving to Texas she obtained a teaching certificate from the University of Houston. While living in Angleton, Texas she taught history in middle school for nine years. Carolyn was interested in blending, growing, using and studying herbs, and reading which was her greatest pleasure.	HALE, Carolyn Beatrice (I1521)
893	Cecil graduated from Stigler High School in Stigler, Oklahoma in 1935. He attended Connors State Agricultural College in Werner, Oklahoma for one year and Northeastern Oklahoma State Teachers College in Tahlequa, Oklahoma for one year. It was during hard times and he worked many jobs including three soda fountains, two grocery stores, a feed store, a filling station and at Lantz Motor Company. He was called into the Army in 1941 and was sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He was assigned to the U.S. Army Medical Corps at Camp Wolters, Mineral Wells, Texas. He was later transferred to Camp Hood, Texas where the post was being built. He assisted in opening the first hospital there. He opened another hospital at North Camp Hood also. His tour also included hospitals in Fort Lewis, Washington and France. After his discharge he worked for the Civil Service department of the Army in hospital administration until he retired in 1970 as assistant registrar at Darnell Army Hospital at Fort Hood which he helped open in 1965. After retirement he and his wife covered much of the United States in their travel trailer. His hobbies included woodworking, oil painting, crafts, hunting and fishing.	LANTZ, Cecil Vernon (I1443)
894	Cecil was born on Thanksgiving Day at the Kneip home. He graduated in 1938 from Taylor High School in Taylor, Texas. Later he attended Nixon/Clay Business School in Austin, Texas from 1938 to 1939. Cecil served in the United States Army in World War II from 1942 to 1945 and honorably discharged as a Corporal. He worked for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company as a specialist for 32 years at which time he took early retirement. After retiring he and his sons established 3-K Digging Services, and oil field construction company from 1970 to 1983. Cecil also operated a 60 acre cattle ranch in Goliad County. He served as president of Da Costa Hermann Sons for four years and president of Germania Farm Mutual, Victoria region for 25 years. At the time of Cecil's death, there was a major flood of the Guadalupe River in Victoria and all of Central Texas. It was called the 200 year flood. The river rise in Victoria was six miles wide with massive destruction all along the river. The funeral director told the family that because water was in the cemetery, they may not be able to bury Cecil on the day of his funeral. By the grace of God, the water went down enough to bury him the day of the funeral. Cecil's daughter and her husband lived in Goliad County across the Guadalupe River from Victoria. The day after the funeral they started home for the first time in a week. They traveled 150 miles, crossing the Guadalupe River north of Gonzales, Texas to get home—a trip that was usually a thirty mile drive.	KNEIP, Cecil Edward (I13505)
895	cemetery presumed; death certificate: Fairland, Tex.	ROBERTS, Cora Alice (I13306)
896	census records suggest 1863 or 1864	DURRETT, Harriet Olivia (I36309)
897	Census records suggest that Agnes was born between 1870 and 1872 while her tombstone gives a birth year of 1869. A consensus of these (including the 1870 census on which she does not appear) suggest that 1871 is most likely with 1872 a close second.	STEFFEK, Agnes (I6414)
898	Charles Bryan Lane, Sr., 79, of Austin, died Saturday, June 28, 2014, at Heartland Health Care Center of natural causes. Viewing will be from 9 to 10 a.m., Wednesday, July 2, with a graveside service following at 10:30 a.m., in Cook-Walden/Forest Oaks Memorial Park. Charles was born in Kaufman, Texas, to the late John Albert and Vera Lane. He lived in Austin most of his life. As a soldier in the United States Army, he served tours in Panama, Germany, and Korea. Affectionately known as "Chuck" and "Papa" to so many, he was an unending source of love and warmth to all those around him. Chuck never knew a stranger and was at times mistaken for Santa Claus by small children. He loved the Texas Longhorns, the Dallas Cowboys, and most of all his family. His unconditional love has made this world a happier, more jovial place for decades. Quick with a joke, and even quicker with a bad pun, he has deeply touched the lives of all his family members. He will be greatly missed and will be even more greatly celebrated. He was preceded in death by five brothers; a sister; and son-in-law, Calvin Saunders. Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Grace Lane; daughters, Kathleen Harris and her husband, David, Pamela Saunders, and Beverly Ruth and her husband, Dan; son, Bryan Lane and his wife, DeeDee; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; many other relatives and numerous friends.
