Tobias & Wilhelmina Schulz Family around 1900

My aunt, Mayme Rachuig Hause, sent me these pictures. I'd never seen them before. I'm guessing at the date. They show the Schulz family. I can identify the boys in the back row: Hugo, Bernhardt (Uncle Ben) & Bruno. I have a harder time with the girls. Maybe someone can help me: Selma in the back row with her brothers, Martha Alinda next to her mother in front, & Anna Kamilla by her father.

The second picture shows the two younger brothers, Hugo on the left & Bruno on the right.

(Update) I got this info from my aunt, Mayme Rachuig Hause. "Chuck, the daughter on the front row right is Martha Alinda and the one above her is Anna Camilla and on the far right is Selma Martha. The boys are left to right Hugo, Victor, Bernhardt Franz [Ben] and Bruno Georg. A boy andf a girl [Albert and Ella] died before they came to America."

Bruno Konrad Viertel

Here is an obituary my aunt sent me. I remember Bruno, who attended Schulz family reunions well into his later years. I tried to find a picture of him in my archive, but I wasn't successful. If anyone has a photo, I'll add it to this blog.

Notice that Bruno is a descendant of the Tobias & Wilhelmina Schulz family, but he married into the August & Henrietta Rachuig family. This is another instance of close relations between two families in the Clifton community.

Origins of Unger Surname

My aunt, Mayme Rachuig Hause, sent me this interesting article on the Unger surname. Wilhelmina Unger married Tobias Schulz in 1873. They are the matriarch & patriarch of the Schulz family of Clifton, Texas. They emigrated to Texas from Crottendorf, Upper Saxony, Germany in the 1883.

I've posted several photographs of their hometown in Germany - Crottendorf in the Erzgebirge of Upper Saxony.
