  • Notes 
    • Walter’s German forebears were mainly merchants and industrialists, but Walter wished to become an artist or musician. His father wisely insisted on his also learning bookkeeping.

      Germany’s cold climate sent Walter to Texas in 1898, as salesman for his brother’s enamel wares. He also engaged in crockery and hardware merchandising in Seguin, then Austin, before teaching German at the University of Texas. But WWI brought an end to German at the University. It was then that the unpleasant bookkeeping tasks provided livelihood for his family for several years. Walter then served thirteen years as deputy Federal income tax collector, in which similar work he continued, enjoying art and concerts opportunely.

      Somewhat strict religious upbringing influenced his convections which formed the basis of his emphasis on home, and firm and understanding control over his family. With always meager funds, he nonetheless managed to maintain his large comfortable home, help the less fortunate and take genuine, enlightened interest in humanity’s uplift and well being. He also enjoyed playing his viola in string quartettes and the Austin Symphony Orchestra.

      A handsome, modest man he was. It was he who suggested and helped establish the von Rosenberg family reunions.
