| Notes |
- 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.
