But at least you are on the right track now! =^) Sounds like you really need to talk to “Mr. manager”. Keep trying.

A quick google search gives this information:
Cranes Mill Cemetery
Canyon Lake, Texas (830) 899-7718 ?

I have no idea if this is correct or not but at least it is a place to start. Good luck and happy hunting!

Hi,
I’m not familiar with this family but some more details such as DOB, Place of Birth, DOD, etc. would be helpful.

I did a quick search on Ancestry for the name Ernst Alves in Comal Co. and found several listings including a WWI draft registration card. If you are not a subscriber to Ancestry, try your local library. Some libraries have a free subscription to Ancestry that is available only in the library.

Looking at the card, his DOB is listed as 19 Jan 1898 and his nearest relative is listed as “Paula N???day”. Is it possible the Paula remarried after Ernst Sr. died??

There is also a 1900 census in Comal Co., Texas listing Ernst Alves born in Jan 1898 living with the Lorette Kloepper family. Below is the listing of the HH members:
Household Members:
Name Age
Lorette Kloepper 60
Johanne Kloepper 39
Albert Kloepper 28
Paula Kloepper 24
Emma Kloepper 17
Ernst Alves 2

Hope this little bit helps in your search.

Jerry,

Thank you for replying to my post! I would appreciate any information you would be willing to share with me.

Also, thanks for letting me know where I could locate Wilhelm and Dorothea in the census.

I can be contacted via email: kinfolknews at aceweb.com.

By the way, we live fairly close to each other. I live in San Pedro. (Small world!)

Looking for further information on Wersdoerfer/Klinger shooting. Only information I have been able to obtain gives on further details then the below information.

“Date: June 1851 – Joseph Wersdoerfer shot Mrs. Wilhelm Klinger. Joseph was then shot at the courthouse and dragged out of town on a cowhide.”

I have searched census records for Klinger surname with no luck for matches of Wilhelm. Also seems strange to me that Joseph would have been shot (dead?) and then run out of town?

If anyone can point me in the right direction for further information, it would be much appreciated. (I don’t live in Texas so any original record research would have to be done long distance.)

Thank you in advance for your help.
