Andreas Brieden and his family came from
In the contract they signed with Castro,
each married man received 640 acres plus 20 acres to be used for a garden. A single man received 320 acres plus 20 acres
for a garden. These 20 acres were part
of the town of
One family of the early settlers all
tragically died (except the mother and two small sons) when they ate a
poisonous plant. Also Indians were a
large threat. The settlers combined
efforts and dug a large trench, about 8 feet deep, around the settlement to
keep the cattle from wandering off, and also for protection from the
Indians. This was known as the
"Thousand Acres" located just north of the Verde Creek in the area
aound present Hwy 173 along the east side.
The Verde Creek always had a running stream, however, following a
prolonged drought, it began to dry up.
Most of the settlers moved to a village which they call New Fountain and
a few moved to D'Hanis (Martin, library 140).
It is thought that this is when Andreas
purchased property in D'Hanis and farmed on the Seco. It was near the wagon freight haul route from
Port Lavaca to
After they had moved to D'hanis one day
Louise being the oldest girl had most of
the responsibility of the home when the menfolk were out on freight routes so
when she married it was hard for the other two girls to take care of
things. They lived in a low stone house
with a grass roof. After Louise married
Chris, they moved the older Batot's out with the two younger girls. A widow lady moved nearby, Mrs. Rieter. She had three daughters and she was a big
help to the Brieden girls as she taught them many essential things of washing,
mending clothing and how to cook. Then
when Louisa's children arrived she taught her how to take care of the babies
(Jones).
In later years Andreas Brieden married his
first wife's sister, who had married a Gartieser but this was after she was
widowed (Jones).
Andreas Brieden was well educated and
taught his children to read and write the English language as well as the
German Language. The five boys were
born in

Notes for THERESA PICHOT:
Theresa's family
lived in Castroville. During the time 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
oepend 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.

related to me by her great great niece, Betty Jo Riddle Blair. (Robert Leroy

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
They were going on a hunting trip, William, Henry, Albert
Pichot (Williams Uncle) and Fritz Tuerpe (William's brother-in-law, Alivina's
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 tabaco
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 smake 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 Gramdpa Brieden, Leopold, and Papa (William) would farry
them across. They would strattle 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
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).
- Alvina 1973, personal
interview.
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
(they cant stay in the
house all alone, moved to
They had 5 children: Alice, Carrie (
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.
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 diptheria.
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
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. Homoney was also made in large
kettle, it was cooked until soft and the hulls would come off. The homoney 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 sleaves, and a sash. We would were patton leather shoes with a
strap, usually flat heals. Mama would
dress
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
Atiscosa. Henry lived in
Carrie & August went to

Notes for ANNIE HALLER BRIEDEN:
She was adopted. The family is not sure where she came
from. She is buried in the Castroville
Cemetry at Annie BRIEDEN. It does not
appear she ever married. Stories say she
became pregnant and her father (Joseph Brieden) was very upset with her. She left, but it is not know at what age. In Theresa BRIEDEN's will it refers to Anna
(sometimes known as Annie) HALLER, as shown by instrument of adoption recorded
in Vol. 9, pg 607, of Medina County Deed Records. That she died unmarried and w/out
descendants.
She is with the family in the

Notes for THERESA PICHOT:
Theresa's family lived in
Castroville. During the time 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
oepend 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. (Robert Leroy RIDDLE
