It was back in 1839 when
Ferdinand Fertsch left the East
and headed for Texas to seek
his fortune. After days of sear-
ching he finally settled in a
small community in Austin
county known as New Ulm.
While in New Ulm he was for-
tunate to become acquainted
with Miss Johnna Frels, whom
he married and moved, witn
her, to become the first man to
locate in the Schoenau Prairie,
where he purchased 640 acres
of land at one dollar per acre.
Born to the couple were three
sons, Otto, Carl, and Theodore,
who after their fathers death
moved to Lavaca county to
become influential and inspir-
ing leaders in that area.
And last Sunday the descen-
dants of the late Ferdinand ga-
thered on the farm home of Ed-
gar Wehman near Westhoff to
commemorate the one hundred
th anniversary of the Fertsch
family in the state of Texas.
Gathered atop the big sand hill
was the only living son of the
late Ferdinand Fertsch, Theo-
dore, age 85, whose eyes twink-
led with glee as he stood on
the gallery of the Wehman
home to view his many descend
ants, who have fought for per-
sonal liberty and happiness just
in the same manner in which
his father did when he left his
home to come to Texas.
Threatening weather kept
many of the family away, hut
the register book showed that
over one hundred and twenty-
five members of the family were
in attendance at the reunion
with many coming from all
parts of the state.
There were games, luncheon,
and other forms of entertain-
ment, but what the crowd en-
joyed most during the reunion
were the speeches delivered by
older members of the family re-
calling interesting tales of years
ago and summing up the favor-
able traits of the Fertsch fam-
ily. It brought together mem-
bers of the family for the first
time; many had never seen each
other before.
In connection with the farm
ily reunion the golden wedding
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.
Emil Voelkel of Yoakum was
celebrated. Mrs. Voelkel is the
oldest daughter of the late Ot-
to Fertsch.
A highlight of the reunion
was the electing of eighty-five
year old Theodore Fertsch as
president of the Fersch family
reunion and William Fertsch,
Westhoff retired mail carrier as
secretary and historian. Theo-
dore Fertsch is a retired farmer
near Hallettsville.
Eight letters were read by
William Fertsch from relatives
of the Fertsch family from
_ points throughout the nation
| extending their heartiest con-
* gratulations and sending their
regrets that they were unable
to attend. One came from New
York City from Mrs. M. S. Can-
on, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.
J. Buske of Shiner.

and defendant own no commu-
nity property. That plaintiff’s
