| Notes |
- “Lina von Rosenberg was born on October 27, 1864, in the 300 block of West Second Street, Austin, Texas. Lina is the tenth child in a family of twelve. She seems to have been a favorite, being especially close to her father. This must have been because of their mutual love for flowers. She had a beautiful flower garden at the old home on West Sixteenth; there her father would go walking in the early morning during the warm weather. He seemed to be able to face the problems of the day better after enjoying the beauty of the garden at early sunrise.
“As early as the age of six Lina helped with the family chores. The boys had to get off to work early in those days, and she and her sisters helped their mother get breakfast. They didn’t have just toast and coffee. They ate a big square meal consisting of steaks, biscuits, etc.
“Lina graduated from Alta Vista Institute, located on West Fifteenth and Guadalupe Streets. This was run by Mrs. Helen Marr Kirby. She took private painting lessons from Professor Lungkwitz in her home three times a week. Later when she attended Alta Vista he gave her advanced lessons there. She also studied voice and piano. When she was about five or six years old, her first piano teacher was Professor Besserer. This was another mutual interest she had with her father, who was very fond of good music. William von Rosenberg saw to it that his beautiful daughters were well accomplished in the fine things of life, such as voice, piano and art.
“In her youth Lina had slightly curly auburn hair and fair skin. Her blue eyes seem to have a twinkle in them. Their friends, when speaking of the sisters, would always refer to Lina as ‘the one with the laughing eyes.’
“Lina married George Gordon Bissell on Christmas morning in 1890. The young couple went to Ft. Worth, Texas, to live for about a year and a half. Then they returned to Austin. She bore five children: Julia, Charles, Roland, George and Grace. Three of these are still living.
“Now at the age of eighty-four she is enjoying good health and continues to raise flowers. The visits of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren add to her enjoyments.”
