I’m not sure about proprietor, but you can track down the owners.
First, go to the Comal County Appraisal website at http://www.comalad.org/ and do a property search by address to get the current owner.
Next is the hard part. You have to go to the County Clerks office and look in the property indexes. Each time a property is sold, they index the buyer and the seller to the deed records. So you have to work backwards starting with the above name, making sure it is the right property, and then seeing who the seller is. From there you start over — looking for that name as the buyer and then who was the seller. Then repeat as far back as you want to go. These are public records, so for a copying fee, you can get copies of each deed of sale which will give the date and the purchase amount (and might have other interesting tidbits of information.)As for the obituaries. I know the Sophienburg Archives has copies of all/most the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung (and the predecessor Zeitung). I was able to locate my great-grandparents obituaries from the 1940’s (in German!)
I don’t believe there is a way to do either of these over the internet at this time.

The article was a portion of an extract of the 1876? Scholastic Census for Comal County.
Most entries include surname and given name along with age, M/F, can read, etc. However, in this case, only the name Hasdorf is listed with no other information. So not much information.28th Schaefer Reunion, Saturday, October 18, 2008

Alton Rahe and Laverne Pearce helped solve this mystery after the March meeting.
Blue’s Sugar Bowl was located at 1094 West San Antonio St., New Braunfels, Texas. It is the north west corner of San Antonio St. and Walnut Avenue. The picture is of the sign not the building. The building in the background was not part of Blue’s Sugar Bowl and is actually on the other side of Walnut St (and it still exists.) The Blue’s Sugar Bowl later (in the 1950’s) was Schulz’s Caf?. Today there is a Stop & Go convenience store and gas station on the location.
The House That Jack Built was at 1414 West San Antonio St, New Braunfels, Texas.

Great post Marijane!
There is a small write-up in the Handbook of Texas Online for Schumannsville.
I also found an online version of the Altwein Family Historical Marker.
