Mr. Baumberger was a lifetime resident of San Antonio and a former president of The San Antonio Portland Cement Company, which most people know today as “The Quarry.” Charles Baumberger died childless and stipulated in his will that the income from his fortune be devoted to the education of Texas youth in the arts and sciences, thereby establishing the Baumberger Endowment. Since 1979 the endowment has awarded 2,900 scholarships totaling over 40-million dollars. Mr. Baumberger not only left a lovely home in our historic neighborhood, but also a very generous and loving legacy for the community and Texas youth.
