| Notes |
- Helene and her twin sister, Alice, were born November 29, 1857, on a farm located on the Pedernales River near Fredericksburg, Texas. It was here that they spent their early childhood, gathering wild flowers and playing along the banks of the river.
When the twins were about seven, the family moved to San Antonio where the father, Herman Lungkwitz, a landscape artist, opened a studio and photograph gallery. Most of Helene’s childhood was spent in San Antonio where she received her early education. When she was fifteen, the family moved to Austin and her education was completed at B. J. Smith’s, a fashionable school for young ladies.
It was at a dance at the Turner Halle, at Lavaca and Eighteenth Streets in Austin, that Helene first met Ernst von Rosenberg. On October 18, 1879, they were married by the Rev. T. B. Lee, Episcopal minister, at the home of her brother-in-law and sister, Professor and Mrs. Jacob Bickler. Helene and Ernst were a very striking couple—he tall, erect, and handsome with blond hair and blue eyes, and she petite with brown hair and hazel eyes.
Their eight children are: Else Cornelia, Mary, Hannah, Ernest, Ralph, Emma and Herman. Helene and Ernst both lived to see seven children grown, and to enjoy the company of several grandchildren.
It was ten years after her husband’s death that Helene passed away on January 22, 1925.
She was a great lover of nature. In her younger days, she was an art pupil of her father and showed considerable talent. Her children treasured several of her lovely pencil sketches.
Helene had a wonderful sense of humor, was gentle and kind-hearted, and was a most hospitable hostess. She was affectionately known to all her nieces and nephews as “Aunt Ellen.”
