Hi Sidney,

Are you related to the Seidels? If so would you have any other pictures of family members. My great grandmother was Mary Seidel Freabe Zotz.

Thanks,
Janet

RE: Clara Lowery
I did not. I'm not pleased with the photo of the headstone. It was very windy, chilly and my camera battery died just as I was taking the picture so I used my cell phone. I uploaded the photo I took so you would know I found it. I will go back out in the next week or 2 and get a better photo of the headstone and of each of the individual photos. I apologize that what I took today isn't very good but I wanted to at least get that for you.

I thought I had walked the whole cemetery but I may be mistaken.
I did find on the website for St. John's Lutheran Church confirmation that she is buried there, grave 5 lot 97, along with several other Lowreys.
I will go back this weekend if I get a chance and look for her grave.
In case you want to see what other info is available at the church website her is the link:
www.stjohnssa.org

Also, while checking several places I did find this info if you don't already have this:
www.sanantonio.gov/parksandred/directory_seeling.aspx
Not sure this is the same
Clara Seeling Lowrey as yours but thought I'd share.

RE: Johanna Schuhmann
I live in Katy Texas so I was able to go to Forest Park Westheimer for your request. Found the Hubert grave but there is only a large momuemnt with the name Hubert on it, Katie is missing her name at the base but I did get a picture of Walter (1943-1985) next to her but there is no information about him on Find-a-grave. I asked the cemetery about the missing name plate but they couldn't give me an answer. Will upload what I have for Katie.

Oh my gosh, Sidney. All these transfers are wonderful. You have given me so much info I didn't have. Thanks so much. By the way, I was born and raised in Abilene, TX. My mother was born and raised in the Old Weather Bureau along with her other siblings. Her dad was the weather man until he retired in 1944. My mom and dad lived on Waverly St. out beyond Mrs. Baird's bakery for almost 50 years. My husband and I married on ACC hill at Brother Southern's home 55 years ago. So I am an ole Abilene gal too. We have been gone several years and now live in Valley Mills, TX which is 20 miles west of Waco.I thank you again for all the info. Jean

Re: Photo request for Elizabeth Rasco
Hi, the volunteers are happy to fill your photo request, however we need a burial location in order to do so. The cemetery is very huge and is not very cooperative with the volunteers from findagrave.
Can you call them and get the burial location? The number is 972 238 7111. Once you get the burial location you can either insert it in the PLOT field so the volunteers can see it or you can message me and I can make sure it gets added and that the photo request is filled ASAP.
thanks!

RE: Ora Laas Witte
People ask why I take the photos. Mainly because I can AND for whatever reason I am fascinated by the stories. So many stories some have never heard. Lot of history untold. Thanks for letting me know.

RE: William Voelkel
Although I have created memorials for the Voekels, I had only mentioned William and Christina (Weyand) in one as parents. I would like the picture, but it would be best to add it to Williams memorial (5325631). I would like to share a biography of his with you ... as follows.

WILLIAM VOLKEL [VOELKEL], who lives in the Rutersville community, his home being on Rural Route No. 2 out of LaGrange, represents that sturdy stock which was transplanted from Germany during the decade of the '40s to the wilderness of Texas. He himself was a child at the time of the emigration, and his life for more than sixty years has been identified with Texas, and his individual service includes a record as a Confederate soldier during the war between the states, and latterly, for a great many years until he retired, as a farmer and stock man.
He was born at Wichenstein, Prussia, December 13, 1841, and at this writing is nearing the seventy-fifth milestone on life's journey. His parents were John J. and Katherina (Marburger) Volkel, who were also natives of Prussia. Grandfather Jacob Volkel, after the death of his wife in the old country, came with his son and other members of the family to America in 1848. They embarked on a sailing vessel at Bremen, and after thirteen weeks landed at Galveston. From Galveston they went up Buffalo Bayou to Houston, and an ox wagon took them out to Shelby in Austin County. Grandfather Jacob Volkel died in 1851, the year after the family came to Texas, while John J. Volkel, father of William, died only a few months after landing at Galveston. At that time William Volkel was about eight years old. He and the other two children were left to the care of their widowed mother. His two brothers are: John J., a retired farmer at Oldenburg, Texas; and Ludwig, of whom further mention is made on other pages of this publication. John J. Volkel, the father of these sons was a carpenter by trade and a member of the Lutheran Church. After his death his widow married Ferdinand Hezel. She continued to live in Austin County until her death at the venerable age of ninety-six in 1908. By her second marriage she had one son, Richard, who still lives at Shelby.
So far as school training was concerned the best part of William Volkel's education was obtained before he left his native land. Public schools were not known in his section of Texas, and he attended school very little. The necessities of the household made it imperative that he use his youthful strength to some useful purpose, and he was self-supporting and independent when many boys of his age are still enjoying the advantages of leisurely home life.
With the outbreak of the war between the states he enlisted in Company G of the Fourth Texas Cavalry under Captain Marinus Vuerl and Colonel Riley. This regiment was organized at San Antonio in 1861 and joined the expedition under General Sibley into West Texas and New Mexico. The captain of the company was killed in the very first battle in which they were engaged at Welworthy, New Mexico. Mr. Volkel also participated in the battle at Fort Union, New Mexico, and after the close of that campaign was connected with some of the operations in Southern Texas, notably at the recapture of Galveston from the Federal troops on January 1, 1863. His regiment was then sent into Louisiana and Arkansas, and he saw some of the hard fighting in those districts.
After the war Mr. Volkel took up the responsibilities of farming and stock raising, and bravely faced all the discouragements and vicissitudes of such a business until he had laid the foundation of a substantial competence, and then retired. Mr. Volkel is a democrat, but has never held an office, and has been content to do his duty in the ranks as a private and by such work as every good citizen does in his community in the way of improvement and neighborly service. He and his wife are members of the Lutheran Church.
Mr. Volkel married Miss Christina Muesse, who was born in Prussia June 16, 1842. When she was a child of fourteen she came with her widowed mother in 1856 and settled in the community of Round Top, Texas. Mr. and Mrs. Volkel have long enjoyed the comforts of a worthy family of sons and daughters. Robert, their oldest child, is a resident of Rutersville. Mrs. Lena Koepke lives at Ellinger. The third child is Mrs. Emma Wessels. Gus, now deceased, married Frances Herdler, who is also deceased, and they had three children. Amelia married Frank Hockebeil [Hackebeil] of Rutersville. Ottilie is the wife of H. 0. Hockebeil of Rutersville. R. W., Herman and Alvin all reside in the old home community. Lydia is the wife of Charles Maas. Willie A. is the youngest of the family.�pp. 1707-1708.

This was obtained from a website that I cannot remember, but if you type in biographies and fayette county texas and click Search, you should find the biography / obituary for Ludwig.

RE: Bell Cameron Harris
You are welcome. Glad I found it. The cemetery office didnt have a record of it. I found it by just driving by it. I also noticed the birth date was different than what was on the memorial. The years were the same but months were also different. Glad I could help in some way.

I really have no idea. I am just as shocked as you are. But they are very strict for some reason and that is why nobody has claimed any of the requests there. It is just too difficult to go out there and take pictures. If you would like me to take a picture please email me written confirmation with your relationship to Augusta and the headstone location(given to you when calling the cemetery.

I am going to this cemetery this weekend to take pictures. In order for me to take a picture of Augusta's grave, I need written permission. If you could email me written permission I will be happy to take a photo for you. Also include the plot number, you can call the cemetery to get this information. My email is located on my profile page.

I live about two houses down, in a subdivision, from the Moravian (Czech) Cemetery. It is private and sits behind my neighbors home. If you need better quality pictures, please let me know, I would be happy to go back on a sunny day. I walked down there a few mins ago and snapped these pictures, but it is cloudy and overcast today and they sit under a large group of trees. Sue

You ask what my thoughts are on the story of the lady of white rock lake? Well since my childhood I have heard these stories of this legend as well as the goatman of grapevine lake! True? I think not... Entertaining yes absolutely!
I found an interesting link there are so many different versions of this one.
