| Notes |
- Adam’s father died while Adam was quite young, so as a boy, he lived with his mother and later on a farm in Ellinger. After the death of his mother, he moved to a farm in Falls County. There he raised cattle and did some carpentry. He lived alone, but eventually became associated with some carpenters from Ellinger who were building a home on the Walter von Rosenberg farm in Milam County. He became acquainted with the family, and about six years later, met Walter again, this time in Rockdale. On that occasion he met daughter Louise. He decided to stay and help on the farm.
After Adam and Louise were married, they remained in the area for three years. In 1896 Adam bought a fifty acre farm near Hewitt, moving the family there.After nine years, Adam decided to move west. In 1905, after selling his McLennan County farm he bought 200 acres at Lipan Flat near Wall. His brother-in-law, Frank von Rosenberg helped build the home. Adam farmed this land, enjoying life and health. He enjoyed playing the accordian, and he was a member of the Roman Catholic Church. He suffered a serious fall in 1941resulting in a fractured shoulder. After nearly recovering fully, he suffered a stroke which rendered him an invalid until his death.
