Notes for Jean Nicholas Pichot, Jr.:

A.J.Sowell, Early Settlers & Indian Fighters of San Antonio Texas

 

      "Ship L'ebro, Capt Perry, departed Havre De Grace, France on November 2, 1842 for Galveston, Texas.  They had a long tedious trip of 75 days in crossing the ocean and some of the passengers died at sea.  The immigrants were all French except two families - Conrads and Wilkes.  Many of them were really German, but all spoke French, being Alsatians.  On New Years day of 1843 the good ship landed at Galveston, and the tired and almost worn out colonist gladly set foot on Texas soil, although it was a strange and foreign country to them, thousands of miles from the place of their nativity.  There were 114 passengers aboard the ship compromised of 42 families."  Nicolas Pichot (23) along with his father, Jean Nicolas Pichot, Sr (56), and his two sisters, Jean Marie (15) and Alexandrine (14), were aboard the ship.  His mother (Marice Carpentier) and oldest brother (Louis) stayed in France.  His oldest brother's wife was expecting a baby.  His mother was also afraid of the wild animals in Texas.

      Jean (John) Nicholas Pichot, Jr., was born in Alsace  Lorraine, France in February 1820.  He left France in the year 1842 on the ship Ebony or Ebro, ship's Captain Perry landed in Texas January 1, 1843, being part of the Castro Colony he lived in Castroville.  He and his father both received 40 acres each on the east side of the Medina River.  When his father was killed by a rattle snake bight, Jean Nicholaus Pichot, Jr. then worked the entire 80 acres.

 

1860 Census:  Bexar County, but town of Castroville:  East side of the Medina River:

      PICHUE, Nicholas 36, Farmer, real estate value 500, personal 200

            Regina 31

            Teresa 12

            Catharine    8

            Emily 5

            Louis 2

(Next to the Pichot family in this census is:  Fred. Aug. Bohme, stock raiser with a real estate value of $3,000 and a personal estate value of $7,000 - then there is a family, WERNDON, William, who is also a stock raiser with no real estate value (possibly working for Dr. Boehme - then there is the TUERPE family with a real estate value of $7,000 and personal estate value of $200)

 

      He was a saloon keeper and merchant.  On January 28, 1864 Nicholaus and his wife Regina were closing up the saloon.  Nicholas told his wife to go home to the children and he would finish up and be home later.  He was killed and robbed in his saloon for money that was kept in a baking powder can.  The next morning Regina could see that Nicholaus did not come home that night.  That morning she learned he had been shot (killed with an ax?) and robbed.  Theresa, the oldest daughter, 17 years old at the time, always took breakfast to her father every morning.  Today she was told she would not have to because he had been killed.  Records say John's (Jean) tomb stone says February.  Many years later a man my the name of Goid, living in Del Rio, Texas confessed on his death bed that he had committed the crime.  The saloon was located somewhere near where the Lutheran Church is located now.

      In the courthouse records in Hondo is this deed dated 1863:  "Jean Nicolas Pichot, Jr. to Regina Pichot, my beloved wife, 120 acres of land and all livestock branded PC and earmarked by an undercrop on both ears."     

      Courthouse records dated 1850 indicate the transfer of 640 acres (located at Vandenburg) of the State of Texas, to heirs of Jean (John) Nicolas Pichot, Sr., Deceased.  Dated 1851, a deed containing same acreage deeded to Jean (John) Nicolas Pichot, Jr. by Francis Pingenot and wife Alexis Pichot Pingenot, price paid for 640 acres $40.00 also 1/3 interest.  Also same transaction dated 1852 by Gerhart Ihnken and his wife Jeanne Marie Pichot Ihnken to Jean Nicolas Pichot, Jr., price paid for 640 acres $40.00 also 1/3 interest.  Jeanne Marie Pichot Ihnken and Alexis (Alexandrine) Pichot Pingenot were sisters of Jean Nicolas Pichot, Jr.

Generation No. 7

 

      32.  Theresa7 Pichot (Regina6 Haller, Marie Anne5 Golly, Jean Theobalt4, Jean Pierre3, Josephi2, Petrus1) was born October 15, 1847 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas, and died March 04, 1938 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas.  She married Joseph Brieden December 25, 1867 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas, son of Andreas Brieden and Elizabeth Zuercher.  He was born February 06, 1842 in Oberentzen, Haut Rhin, France, and died 1924 in Medina Co., Texas(?).

 

Notes for Theresa Pichot:

Theresa Pichot's family lived in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas.   During the time that she was a teenager there had been a number of reports of Indians stealing livestock.  Theresa had a horse that she prized greatly.  To make sure that her horse didn't get stolen, she would tie it to her bed with its head inside her window at night.  One night something woke her.  When she opened her eyes there was an Indian in her bedroom.  She didn't move and kept her eyes shut.  When she opened them again the Indian was gone and the rope tied to her bed had been cut.  The horse was gone and she never saw it again.

This story was related to me by her great great niece, Betty Jo (Riddle) Blair.

 

Notes for Joseph Brieden:

Joseph was the third boy out of five.  All five boys were born in Alsace near the town of Colmer France to Andreas Brieden and Elizabeth Zuercher.  Joseph was about 3 years old when they came to the United States, about 1846 (1850 census, Vandenburg Texas).  They settled in the Vandenburg community, West of Quihi and Northwest of Hondo.  His family farmed 20 acres on Arroyo Verde, growing crops and raising livestock. 

      In later years they purchased property in D'Hanis and farmed on the Seco.  It was near the wagon freight haul route from Port Lavaca to Mexico.  Joseph, his father and brothers, joined the wagon freight train hauling freight from Port Lavaca to Mexico and made a good living.  They would wait for a ship to come in, load the ox-drawn wagon and honor the consignment.  In Mexico, for example, for the return trip to the coast they would gather a load of coffee and piloncillo mostly for Europe.  For security they had to travel in groups or trains as protection against bandits and Indians (Tschirhart, library 197).  Joseph and his brothers had several near run in with the Indians.  Two of the boys were gathering grass for a thatch roof when they stopped a group of Indians.  The boys left their horses and hid in some tall grass.  The Indians took their horses but didn't find the boys.  They stayed hidden until nightfall and then made their way home on foot.   Leopold, Josephs younger brother, had another close call when Indians began to chase him while riding one day.  He rode up a hillside and the Indians did not follow.  It is supposed that the Indians suspected an ambush over the hill and  this allowed Leopold to escape (Tschirhart, library 198).   

      After Joseph's mother was found drown, Louise being the oldest girl had most of the responsibility of the home when the menfolks were out on freight routes.  They lived in a low stone house with a grass roof.

      Joseph's father was well educated and taught him and his other brothers and sisters to read and write the English and German language.

     

      He would make homemade wine in the cellar.  

 

Helped build the boat.  Would make homemade molasses out of sugar cane.  Tended to the fields with his son William.  Died there at the home

 

How and where did he meet Theresa? - Joseph's brother Leopold married Theresa's sister, Catherine.

 

 1870 Census, Bexar County, San Antonio - but this is on the East side of the Medina River - the location where PICHOTs had settled:

 

HALLER, Mariana 61, keeping house, Germany, Value of real estate 80

BRIEDEN, Henry 28, Wagoner, value of personal estate 100, Germany

      Teresa 23, keeping house, Texas

      Henry    1 , Texas

 

Teresa's grandmother (Marina GOLLY HALLER b-1808) is living with them at the time (her mother's mother).  Her mother (Regina) must have moved to Austin by now.

      33.  Catherine7 Pichot (Regina6 Haller, Marie Anne5 Golly, Jean Theobalt4, Jean Pierre3, Josephi2, Petrus1) was born December 07, 1852 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas, and died July 29, 1926 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas.  She married Leopold Brieden June 12, 1870 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas, son of Andreas Brieden and Elizabeth Zuercher.  He was born September 30, 1843 in Oberentzen, Haut Rhin, France, and died June 22, 1922 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas.

 

Notes for Catherine Pichot:

Catherine Pichot was being courted by Leopold Brieden and another young man.  On one occasion the three young people were on a picnic outside of Castroville.  The Medina County, Texas, countryside, in 1869 - 70, was still rather wild and Indian raids were common.  During the picnic, a band of hostile Comanche Indians rode up on horseback and threatened them.  The other young man panicked, jumped on his horse and rode away to save himself.  Leopold Brieden calmly got Catherine on her horse, mounted his own horse, then whipped Catherine's and his own to get them going.  He continued whipping Catherine's horse, then his own to keep them running until they were out of danger.  On that day Catherine decided which man she would marry.  She married Leopold Brieden on June 12, 1870.

 

Notes for Leopold Brieden:

He came over with his family from France in 1846 when he was 3.

 

He helped build the wood boat out of cypress trees that the Brieden's used to cross the Medina river???

 

Buried in Roselawn Cemetery in San Antonio, beside his wife and son, Paul.

 

After his marriage he began working as a stone mason and helped construct the courthouse in Hondo, Texas. 

 

 His family settled first in Vandenburgh, Medina Co., Texas and later moved to Castroville, Medina Co., Texas. 

 

(The above information from Janine MODGLING - modgling@freewwweb.com)

 

Oberentzen is/was in the Haut Rhin province of France.  It is one of the provinces that make up the region of Alsace.  It is just across the Rhine River from Germany.  Many of the people who live in the region are ethnic Germans and do not consider themselves to be French.  They speak a German dialect.  Many of the Alsatians who immigrated to Texas in the 1840's as part of Henri Castro's colony were of this stock.  They have left their cultural imprint on Castroville, Texas, and the surrounding county.

Generation No. 8

 

      39.  William Leo8 Brieden (Theresa7 Pichot, Regina6 Haller, Marie Anne5 Golly, Jean Theobalt4, Jean Pierre3, Josephi2, Petrus1) was born April 11, 1873 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas, and died June 24, 1931 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas.  He married Alvina Marie Tuerpe October 10, 1900 in San Antonio, Bexar Co., Texas.  She was born September 13, 1877 in Rio Medina, Medina Co., Texas/Medina Co., TX, and died March 24, 1977 in San Antonio, Bexar Co., Texas.

 

Notes for William Leo Brieden:

He and Alvina lived with his parents and farmed and worked the land that his mother (Theresa Pichot) inherited from her father.  The 80 acres East of the Medina River.  William's only brother Henry died from a gun shot wound, February 7, 1900, he was 31 years old.  This left William only to tend to the farming.

 

      They were going on a hunting trip, William, Henry, Albert Pichot (William's Uncle) and Fritz Tuerpe (William's brother-in-law, Alvina brother).  They where in a wagon and Albert was sitting in front, William, Henry and Fritz sitting in the back of the wagon.  Everyone unloaded their guns and then they wrapped them up in the bedding in the back of the wagon. They were way out already on the road and they were getting tired of sitting there and they either moved their bedding around or hit a bump in the road when all of a sudden a gun went off.  It hit Henry in the back.  The doctor said the bullet was logged in his spine and there was really nothing they could do. They went back to Uvalde where Albert and Mary Pichot lived, he stayed for maybe three months.  Then his mother wanted him home, so they moved him home, he lived 3 years?  (Alvina 1973)

 

      William Brieden was a heavy smoker and would order his tobacco leaves from some company and they would send it to him in bulk.  He would lay them out and dry it in the sun.  Then he would take it and remove the stems and rub it between his hands to make it fine to be able to roll it in the little papers to smoke.  He would keep all his things up on the fireplace mantel.  He would get up during the night when could not sleep to smoke a cigarette (Laura Brieden 1996).

 

      When the river was high people would be unable to cross.  There was a crossing point about were the bridge is now.  They would come by the Briedens house and Grandpa Brieden, Leopold, and Papa (William) would ferry them across.  They would straddle the buggy across the top of the boat.  Then they would come back and pick up the passengers and take them across (Carrie Brieden 1977).  6 people could fit in the boat.  Grandpa Brieden (Joseph) and his brother Leopold (or Uncle Henry?, Papa's brother) built it out of cypress trees.  It was very heavy and it would not turn over.  When Richy and Leonard's friend would come over they would try, but could never tip it (Carrie Brieden 1973).

 

      William Brieden died August 4, 1924 (June 24, 1931).  He was horned by a bull there on the place.  Carrie had gotten married and moved to Devine, she just had her first baby Vivian.  Alvina (his wife) was over helping Carrie when it happened.  The bull was de horned, but there were still some of the horn left.  He was going to tie the bull up in a shed at night so he would not get out.  He would put a chain around the horns.  The bull bucked him with the horns and threw him up against the wooden pen.  Alvina came home and Laura (the youngest child) went to help Carrie with the new baby.  Alvina rapped up his chest, but he would not go to the doctor.  They think he had broken a rib and it possibly damage a lung.  He was in bed until he died.  Everyone tried and tried, to convince him to go to the doctor, but he would not go.  One Sunday Leonard came out and convinced him to go, probably about three weeks before he died.  Dr. Williamson did send some stuff into the lab but no one really ever heard results.  He was spitting up something.  That left the two youngest children, Richy and Laura, at home with their mother Alvina and William's mother, Theresa Brieden (Laura Brieden 1996).

 

      No one really kept up with the farming and ranching after William Died.  Richy tried to farm, but could not really keep the farm and ranching going.  He finally went out and started doing other work.  Some of the land was sold to the DeCocks and Karms (Laura Brieden 1996).

Notes for Alvina Marie Tuerpe:

Her parents settled in the Haby settlement, the Rio Medina area.  She  went to school in Rio Medina where the Rio Medina store is now located, San Geronimo School (Photo pg 36 library 1898-1899).  Alvina went to school until she was 16 years old.  Both of her parents were Lutheran and they went to the Lutheran church in Castroville (Alvina Brieden 1973).

 

She had 3 older brothers, Alvina was the baby.  She was 10 years younger than the youngest brother.  Henry, Fritz, and Albert, 10, 12, 14 when she was born.  As soon as she started to walk she did everything she could to keep up with her older brothers.  She loved to horse back ride.

 

She met William Brieden in school.  He lived with his parents in Castroville on the Medina River.  William Brieden was Catholic religion, all the Briedens were.  People were not against them getting married, but they had to get married by the county judge because they were of different religions.  They were married in San Antonio on Oct. 10, 1900.  William and Alvina took a wagon to San Antonio and returned to live with William's parents, Joseph Brieden and Theresa Pichot until they both died.  Theresa was 90 when she died, Joseph died 7 years before her. 

       (they cant stay in the house all alone, moved to San Antonio between New Years and Christmas moved to San Antonio in 1900 until got married in San Antonio??).

 

They had 5 children:  Alice, Carrie (Carolina), Leonard, Richy, and Laura, all within about 10 years.  All 5 children were baptized and received communion as Catholics.  The family got along fine, Alvina went to the Lutheran Church, William went to the Catholic Church.  All the children were raised in the Catholic Church.  Alvina did start going to the Catholic Church but not until later. 

 

It was when one of her grandchildren were making their first communion in 1951, there was a party.  She called all the children together at the party to tell them she wanted to become Catholic (Father Lenzen), she was 73 years old at the time.  They were all very happy and she was then baptized.  Arliss Schott and Patsy Brieden were her sponsors (Alvina 1973).

 

Alvina and all five children were traveling in the carriage being pulled by mules.  Suddenly two bicyclers came by and scared the mules.  This turned the carriage around, broke the harness and the mules got loose.  Alice kept wanting to jump out, she was always the scared one.  Her Mama, Alvina, kept saying, "Keep seated!  Keep seated!"  They finally slowed down and stopped at the bottom of the hill.  They had to walk back home, Alvina was not worried, she knew the mules would be come back.  They borrowed a carriage from the Noonans  because William was expecting to meet the family at Alvina's parent's home, Richard and Carolina Tuerpe, he had gone in ahead to pickup some grain and feed for the cows.  Alvina really knew how to drive the team and she did all the way.  Willam was getting worried and when they did arrive, he noticed they had a different team and carriage.  The family told him what had happened (Carrie 1977, Laura 1996).

      The family would have to cross the river to go to the doctor, or fetch the doctor (Dr. Fitzsimon) and they would have to pick him up and bring him across.  When Laura was still a baby, she became sick.  He checked her over and told Alvina, she had diphtheria.  He told her to take her home, if she lives through the night, she will be okay.  It was probably the longest night of Alvina's life, but Laura made it (Laura Brieden Mangold 1996).

      Carrie and Alice were at the river one time and Alice was trying to punch a log away.  The stick slipped and she fell in the river.  Carrie ran to the house yelling, "Mama!  Mama!  Alice fell in the river!  Alice fell in the river!"  Alvina ran back with Carrie and she reached a limb to Alice and pulled her out.  None of the girls could swim, only the boys learned how (Carrie Brieden Schott 1977).

      Alvina did most of the cooking along with working out in the fields.  It was rare that Theresa Brieden cooked.  The children would bring the cows in from the pasture and milk them.  Some household chores consisted of turning the separator to separate the milk from the cream and washing dishes in a dish pan, since they did not have running water in the house.  There was a well, a windmill and a tank near the home.  The water would have to be pumped.  When the girls were older they helped wash the clothes.  They would boil the white clothes in a large kettle.    Hominy was also made in large kettle, it was cooked until soft and the hulls would come off.  The hominy was then wash it real good.  The family would also make their own cottage cheese (Schott 1977).

      Alvina's children loved cream and molasses with a little bread.  "When Grandma Brieden would go visiting, Mama (Alvina) would get a little bowl of cream out for us.  She would say, 'Hurry before grandma gets home.'  It was a real treat.  Grandma Brieden rarely allowed us to eat the cream or butter, only on special occasions.  Grandma Brieden went visiting a lot.  She was always making Grandpa hook up the carriage for her.  Along with her dairy good that she went around town selling, she also had a large vegetable garden.  We would have to haul water out there in the wagon.  It was pretty rocky out there."  (Schott 1977)

      They would always cross the river to go into town, even to go to the frequent dances held at Wernette's Garden, top story of the Tondre Store, or in the town square.  "Grandpa Brieden and Papa Built steps over the fence so we would not have to go over or under the fence.  We would take a lantern with us and leave it on the steps so we could see our way home.  Mama would always take Alice and I and we would always stay till the end.  Later when Leonard was 15 or 16 Mama stayed home and he started to go with us.  Mama would make us dresses.  Always a new one for the big dances, especially the 25th Celebrations.  Lots of lace, puffy sleeves, and a sash.  We would were patent leather shoes with a strap, usually flat heals.  Mama would dress Alice in blue and me (Carrie) in pink.  In the Winter it would be the dark blues and reds, and then in Summer it would be the lighter shades." (Schott 1977)

      The Briedens would have all kinds of people staying in the house with them during the 25th Celebrations.  It usually went on for several days.  The family would have to kill a handful of chickens to feed everyone. 

 

      The  youngest brother, Albert, moved to Ballinger after he got married, then he moved back down to Atascosa.  Henry lived in San Antonio, and Fritz he lived out in Denton.

      47.  Lilly Elizabeth8 Brieden (Catherine7 Pichot, Regina6 Haller, Marie Anne5 Golly, Jean Theobalt4, Jean Pierre3, Josephi2, Petrus1) was born December 21, 1879 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas, and died June 1961 in Fort Worth, Tarrant Co., Texas.  She married Edward Hardin Looney July 22, 1902 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas, son of James Looney and Mary Rushing.  He was born July 22, 1875 in Oakwood, Leon Co., Texas, and died Abt. 1956 in Arlington, Texas.

 

Notes for Lilly Elizabeth Brieden:

Lilly was the sixth of nine children born to Catherine Pichot and Leopold Brieden between the years 1871 and 1885.  One of the family stories to come down to us about her is that her parents allowed each of the older children who were in the family when she was born to give their new baby sister a name.  Then her mother named her Lilly because she was "white as a lily".  Thus her full name: "Lilly Lenora Mary Annie Elizabeth Brieden".   This story was related by her daughter, Hylma (Looney) Riddle.

 

When we were little, our grandmother (we called her "Inday Looney") taught us a children's poem in German.  This poem was taught to her by her father, Leopold Brieden, when she was a little girl.  It was apparently something that he remembered his parents reciting to him.  They had brought their family to the Castro Colony in Medina County, Texas, from their home in the Alsace region of France.  She would recite the poem to us in German, laced with the Alsatian dialect.

 

It sounded to us like this:     "Ikleepty gross,

                   Ikleepty klein,

                   Ikleepty vee

                   Ein kleiny Shvine."

                 

In German, it's:       "Ich lieb' dich gross,

                   Ich lieb' dich klein,

                   Ich lieb' dich wie

                   Ein kleine Schwein."

 

Translated literally, it says: "I love you big, I love you small, I love you like a little pig."

 

Back before anyone had air conditioning, Inday had a unique way of cooling down rooms in her house during the heat of summer.   In the rooms that she wanted to cool, she would put up several strings like clotheslines a little above head height.  Then she would drape wet cup towels over the strings.  She would then direct an electric fan to blow air over the wet cup towels.  The effect of the water evaporating from the wet towels would actually cool the room down.  The difference would only be a matter of about 2 or 3 degrees, but on a day when it was over 100 degrees outside it felt wonderful to walk into her cooled living room.

 

Notes for Edward Hardin Looney:

Edward Hardin Looney was about five years old when his father died in 1879.  His father, James W. Looney was almost 70.  Edward and his sister were sent to live with their half-brother Fredrick B. Looney. Their mother, Mary Rushing, "a little red-haired school teacher" had died soon after the birth of Ed's sister, Frances Mae, in 1876.  Fredrick B. Looney was almost 40 years older than Ed.   The presence of a tiny half-brother and half-sister in the household apparently created a lot of resentment.  Their mother was younger than their oldest half-sister.  Several of Ed's and Mae's half brothers and sisters lived in the same household at the time.  Fredrick B. was a doctor and Ed called him "Bud Doc".  Fredrick's wife was Martha Ann Arnett and Ed called her "Sis Annie".  A half sister, Susan Looney, was "Sis Sue", and another half brother, William Riley Looney, was called "Bud Will".  He may have called them "Bud" and "Sis" because he couldn't yet say "brother" and "sister" when he first knew them.  Ed's older half brothers and sisters called him "Eli" and called Frances Mae "Fannie".  Ed and Mae are referred to in the 1880 U. S. Census by those names. He was known to some of us as "Indaddy Looney".  

 

Ed was not treated well.  He was evidently punished often and brutally. His punishment was usually being picked up by the scruff of the neck and the seat of his pants and having his head banged against the wall.  When he was about 10 years old he ran away and went to work as a water boy on the railroad. He never returned home but he would leave messages secretly to his sister in a gate post at their house in Oakwood, Leon Co., Texas.

 

He went on to become a railroad engineer for the old Trinity and Brazos Valley Railroad, which later became part of the Great Burlington Route.   In the early 1900's he was sent to Mexico to assist in training and organizing the fledgling Mexican railway system.

 

Teague, Texas, in Freestone County, was a hub for the railroad systems running through the central part of the state.  After the birth of their second child, Hylma, Ed and Lilly (Brieden) made their home there.  They raised their family in Teague until 1920 when they moved to Fort Worth, Tarrant Co., Texas 

 

Ed had a bad temper.  On one occasion a federal inspector climbed up onto Ed's locomotive to look around.  Ed didn't take kindly to this and kicked the man off the locomotive, knocking some of his teeth  out.  For this he was fired and was denied his retirement pension from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

 

Ed, or "Indaddy Looney" as we knew him, was a Christian Scientist.  At about the age of 60, his feet got tangled in some vines while walking through his garden.  He fell and broke his hip.  He refused any medical help on religious grounds.  His hip never mended and he was hobbled for the rest of his life.  He could never walk again without the help of a crutch or a cane.  He refused to stay at home and become a burden to his wife, Lilly (Brieden), so he moved out of his house and into the Home for Aged Masons in Arlington, Texas.   He spent the last 20 or so years of his life in the Masonic Home.  He is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Fort Worth, Texas.  

 

(The information on the life of E. H. Looney is from a letter he wrote in 1948 to his son, Howard, and discussions with my mother Hylma (Looney) Riddle, my sister, Betty Jo (Riddle) Blair, and my brother Eddie J. Riddle.)

      68.  Carolina Wilhelmina "Carrie"9 Brieden (William Leo8, Theresa7 Pichot, Regina6 Haller, Marie Anne5 Golly, Jean Theobalt4, Jean Pierre3, Josephi2, Petrus1) was born January 02, 1903 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas, and died December 23, 1993 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas.  She married August Rudolph Schott, Jr. May 01, 1923 in St. Louis Church, Castroville, Medina Co., Texas, son of August Schott and Anna Poerner.  He was born July 20, 1898 in Devine, Medina Co., Texas, and died March 07, 1983 in Castroville, Medina Co., Texas.

 

Notes for Carolina Wilhelmina "Carrie" Brieden:

When she was a child, friends would come down to edge of river and  yell for them to come get them.  They would all go boat riding on a Sunday afternoon.  They would take a quilt and knock down wasp nest and then duck under the quilt.  All the kids friends loved to come over and go riding in the boat.

      I was holding a calf while Mama was milking it's mother.  I tied the rope around my waist while I was waiting and was playing with a stalk of corn silk.  Suddenly the cow started to go into the pen and the calf followed, dragging me through the pen.  One of the Pichot cousins was loading hay so he jumped down and over the fence and caught the calf.

      I met August at a dance I would guess.  I had seen him before at church.  He was nice looking and dressed well.  He also played in a band at dances sometime, he played the trumpet. 

      My daddy died, William Brieden, after I had gotten married.  He was horned by a cow there on the place.  It was right after I had Vivian, we were still living in Devine.  Mama was over helping me when it happened.  The Bull was de horned, but there were still some of the horn left.  It butted him up against the wooden pen.  Mama did rap his chest up, but he would not go to the doctor.  Everyone tried and tried, but he would not go.  He eventually got sick and died.  Aug. 4th, 1924.

      Mama lived until she was 99 years old, she died March 24, 1977.  We always had a pretty large family reunion to celebrate her birthday every year.  They still try to have the reunion around the time of her birthday (September 13, 1877).  (Carrie Brieden Schott 1977)

 

      The family would get together for pecan thrashing.  Your Dad and the uncles would thrash the trees with long poles to knock the pecans down and then everyone would help pick them up.  We had lots of pecans trees at the house here and even when I was growing up, Papa planted a handful of pecan trees down by the river.

      Saturdays I would make homemade noodles.  I would have them all dried and be cutting them to start cooking when you would come in with your Dad.  Even raw with all the flour over them, you would have to taste one.  And of course you always found your way to the cookie jar.  It was usually filled with molasses and sugar cookies ready for you to eat.

Notes for August Rudolph Schott, Jr.:

August Schott Jr., they were from Devine.  He worked at a bookkeeper at the Loggins & Lilly Store.  We moved to Castroville so he could start a store with his brother Joe.  They called it Schott Brothers.  The store was successful.  Then R.J., Joe's son, wanted to join the business.  The store in Rio Medina was for sale, people begged August to buy it, and he did.  He would come home for lunch every day.  When Jimmy was old enough he would work at the store on weekend bagging groceries and stocking shelves.

 

Also bought a ranch out near Devine.  August would go out there frequently to work the cattle and make sure the windmills were running properly.  August bought the ranch from his dad for $20.00 an acre.

 

When August was a boy he would ride a donkey to get the mail when they lived in Devine.

 

August was a business man.  Well like in the community.  He went to college in 1919 and 1920 for business.  August joined his brothers (Willie and Joe) and formed a band and played at dances and other occasions, until Joe and Willie were inducted into the services during World War I.  In 1923 August served as director of the 1st orchestra ever formed in Devine.  He began selling Fords for Adams Company Garage and continued to do so until 1922, this is when he started bookkeeping for Loggins & Lilly in Devine.  He

worked there until Jan 1, 1927 when he went into partnership with his brother Joe, to form Schott Brothers in Castroville.  He continued until Jan 1, 1948 when he then bought the store in Rio Medina.  Kenneth Hans joined the business and it became known as Schott & Hans Red and White.  August served as postmaster until Jan 1, 1949 and then served as assistant postmaster.  Feb. 5, 1966, the store was sold to Albert (Satch) and Vivian Beck.

Notes for Dr. Riley Newton Riddle, Jr.:

Riley, Jr. was a teenager when World War 2 began.  He joined the Army after graduating from Carter-Riverside High School.  He was initially sent to officer training but was pulled from that because of an emergency need for radio operators and because he had amateur radio experience.   He was sent to

M. I. T. for further training.  After a short training program in England his unit was sent into Belgium a few days after the D-Day invasion in Normandy.   He was in the 82nd Airborne Division Glider Infantry and underwent training for the Invasion.  

 

His unit was in or near Bastogne, Belgium, when that town was surrounded by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge which began December 16, 1944.  They held off the attacking Germans until they were relieved by advance elements of Patton's Third Army on the day after Christmas, 1944.  They became known as "The Battered Bastards of Bastogne".  Riley was a radio operator, but because the situation was so serious, they needed riflemen on the frontline.  He picked up an M1 rifle and fought as an infantry soldier.  Because he was pressed into service as an infantry rifleman he earned the Combat Rifleman's Badge during the battle.  He was later awarded the Bronze Star for actions during the battle.  His army service number is: 18218388.  He was discharged from the Army in 1946 with the rank of T-5 (technician 5th class), equivalent, I think, to corporal.

 

After the war he graduated from TCU with a Pre Med degree and received his MD degree from the UT Medical School at John Sealy Hospital in Galveston, Texas. He served his internship at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas.  He opened his medical practice in Alice, Jim Wells Co., Texas, in the early 50's and was there for about 10 years.  For several years before his death he was Public Health Officer for Jim Wells County. 

 

He was killed in an automobile accident returning to Alice from seeing a patient in San Diego, Texas.  He is buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth, Tarrant Co., Texas.
