They moved to Schulenburg in 1873 where he was engaged in business until 1904.

He is survived by his wife and nine children, Joe, of Houston; Willibald, of Granger; John and Frank, of Caldwell; Arnold, of Cleburne; Rudolph, of Fayetteville; Mrs. Frank Kubala, of Temple; Mrs. F. J. Foitik and Miss Mary of this city.
