AbstractFranz Massirer was born in 1842, in the village of Polowce, Chortkov district, Galicia, Austria. Sometime near 1868 he married Katharina Margaretha Loess, and in 1892 the family immigrated to Texas. They traveled from Bremen aboard the steamship Darmstadt. They settled in the western part of McLennan County and also in the far eastern part of Coryell County, in central Texas. Article provides descriptions of life on the farm during the late 19th century.
