| Abstract | During the [Civil] war and until the fall of 1864 I lived in Austin, where I served partly as schoolteacher in order to escape conscription in the Confederate army and partly as a music teacher to earn my bread, for keeping school yielded no livelihood. . . . It was around mid-day, the 27th of February, 1864, when a heavily armed border soldier stepped into my room and asked if I was a brother of Captain Louis Schuetze of Fredericksburg. Julius was told that a band of men led by Captain J. P. Waldrip had seized his brother from his home and hanged him. [See also: Engelke, Louis B.
