| Abstract | Charles Ferdinand Lincke was born in 1858 in the village of Luckenmuhle, in the Thuringian region of German-speaking Europe, where he learned to play the violin. At 15, he emigrated to America, arriving at the port of Galveston in 1873; the rest of his family arrived in 1877. As a musician playing at dances in Austin County, Texas, Charles met his future wife, Dorothea Louise Emma Ludtke around 1885 or 1886; by 1891 they had moved to the Gruenau community in DeWitt County, Texas. In 1910, Charles and Emma purchased five acres of land in Westhoff, and soon after built a home and dance hall. "Some of the bands that performed included the Lincke String Band, Nordheim Band, Cuero Band, Westhoff jazz Band, Yorktown Dance Orchestra, and the Alfred Buske Orchestra." |
