[S389] Letter from E.J. Hierholzer to Wendel Voigt, Hierholzer, E.J., (Letter: Floresville, Texas), [Straach pp. 7-8], 14 May 1986.
Wilhelmina Straach Nagle told E.J. stories about the family and had pictures of the family home and family gravestones. "[Gottlieb Straach's] mother, Katherina Straach, who lived with the family, died Dec. 7, 1889 (the year was 1889, I believe the Dec. 7 date is also correct), and she said they had delayed going to America as long as the grandmother was living. I believe the gravestone gave the year of the grandmother's birth as 1807." He also believes that it states that she was the widow of Martin Straach.
