  • Notes 
    • “Charlotte Wilhelmine Libussa Froelich was born in Ragnit, Germany, on November 9, 1839, and was also christened in Ragnit. She was the daughter of Dr. Christoph Froelich and Laura Rossette Eleonore von Rosenberg, who received in her dowry the old von Rosenberg home, Bertulischken or Raddeilen Estate.

      “Tragedy came early in Libussa's life when both her parents died within a few months, leaving her an orphan at the age of six. Her family was then separated and she was sent to live with the family of her uncle Peter Carl Johann von Rosenberg. She was adopted by Peter Carl, made a member of the family, and called "Aunt" by later generations.

      “According to Alma Julie von Rosenberg (Tomlinson)'s notes, "Ida von Ruckeshall-von Rosenberg [the third wife wife of Otto's von Rosenberg's oldest child Gustav Gotthard] was repeatedly referred to as the aunt and Guardian of the Froelich girls, who became orphans and went to old Garossen and then to Russia as Governesses and never returned. They were sisters of Libussa Froelich who came to Texas, adopted by Peter Carl Johann von Rosenberg, and she never saw her immediate family again!"

      “In 1849 she immigrated with the von Rosenberg family to Texas and lived on a plantation called Nassau. On October 3, 1857, at the age of eighteen, she married Herman Gustav Hellmuth, land owner and teacher, whose first wife, Johanna Carolina von Rosenberg, was Libussa's double first cousin. To Libussa and Herman, two sons and three daughters were born.

      “After the death of her husband on July 18, 1900, Libussa went to Hallettsville, Lavaca County, Texas, to live with her daughter, Ella Louise Hellmuth-Young, and remained there the rest of her life. Libussa died on June 26, 1918, at the home of her daughter, Ella Louise Hellmuth-Young in Hallettsville, and was buried in Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery at Bellville.”
