| Abstract | In the 1870 Frelsburg, TX census, Dr. Herold or Harold was 40 years old and from Prussia. He is listed as a farmer and physician. . . . He lived with his wife Anna, who was 50 years old. . . . In the 1880 Frelsburg, TX census, George F. Herhold, 46, from Hesse Cassel is listed with his wife, Anna Herhold, 61, from Oldenburg. Listed as living with them are four orphans, Mathilde Lauw, 13 at school; Julie Lauw, 11 at school; Anna Lauw, 9 at school; and Anna Meyer, 1, orphan. Lauw is spelled Laow. . . . Around 1886, William and Lina Linbrugger and their family moved to Osage, on the north bank of the Colorado River, on a farm belonging to Dr. G. F. Herold. . . . William Schmidt, per his obituary, accepted a position with Dr. G. F. Herold of Frelsburg, TX, who voluntarily offered to defray all of his incidental expenses and pay him a cash bonus of $200 at the end of the year, as a farm manager. . . . This article was written only as a historical source on how Dr. Herold helped the Schmidt, Lauw and Linbrugger families in Texas. I found his name mentioned numerous times in my family history and always as assisting them. |
