Engelbert Theuer was born October 23, 1854, in Baden-Baden, Germany, and came to America in 1872, locating at Ackley, Iowa, where he married Miss Catherine Dietz and where he resided until 1884. With his family he then removed to Robertson county, Texas. After a short residence there he moved to Temple, where, having in Germany prepared himself for the Ministry, for a while preached in the German Methodist church there.

After the loss of his wife, he came in 1904 to Schulenburg and established the first German paper of the town, the "Volksfreund," which he continued to publish up to the time of his death, Friday, April 7.

Eight children were born of this union, seven of whom survive, Mrs. Anna Jordan, of Schulenburg; George, of Houston; Lewis, of Denver, Colorado; Mrs. Cora Gorman, of Houston; Mrs. Mary Musselman, of Vernon, Colorado; Mrs. Susie Herzik, of Schulenburg; Mrs. Freida Herzik, of Praha, and Willie, who died in Schulenburg three years ago.
