Note: SENGELMANN BROTHERS.

Among the thrifty and enterprising business men of Schulenburg are many who come from substantial German stock, and prominent among this number are Charles and Gustav Sengelmann, leading dealers in choice wines and spirituous liquors. Sons of Hans Henry Sengelmann, Sr., they were both born and reared in Sprenge, Holstein, and there acquired their early education. Hans Henry Sengelmann, Sr., was born in Germany on the 26th of October, 1820, and, having spent his entire life in the fatherland, died January 14, 1907. In Sprenge, which was also his birthplace, he learned the trade of a shoemaker when quite young, and made that his life occupation. He took an active part in the revolution of 1848, and was one of the five survivors of the war in his locality. He reared five children-Henry, Johanna, August, Charles and Gustav. Of these Henry and Johanna never left the fatherland. August and Charles came to Texas when young men, and from 1876 to 1887 were engaged in business together. August and Charles Sengelmann resided with their parents until the latter was seventeen years of age, attending the local schools. Emigrating to Texas, they first located at Columbus, where they entered the employ of their uncle, Henry Ilse. Industrious and economical, they saved their earnings and in 1876 settled in Schulenburg, where Charles has since been actively engaged in business. In 1885 August Sengelmann returned to Germany to visit his father, and on coming again to America brought with him his brother Gustav, to whom he sold his interest in the business in 1888 and went back to the old country. He was a man of much business ability, enterprising and energetic, and, becoming proprietor of one of the leading hotels of Kiel, a seaport of Schleswig-Holstein. He carried on a large and profitable business until meeting his death in an automobile accident July 13, 1905. His wife and four children still reside in Kiel. In 1893 Charles and Gustav Sengelmann were burned out and in 1894 erected a large, handsome and substantial two-story brick building which they now occupy, it being one of the finest blocks in Schulenburg. In 1879 Charles Sengelmann married Elizabeth Arnim, who is a native of Texas, born in Moulton, Lavaca county, a daughter of A. A. and Von (Schaste) Arnim. Mr. and Mrs. Sengelmann are the parents of the following nine children: Henry, Wally, Minnie, Molly, Charles, Lillie, Alexander, Klondike and Hester. Like his brothers, Gustav Sengelmann received excellent educational advantages in his youth. As previously mentioned, he came to the United States with his brother August, in 1885, succeeding him in business and becoming an active member of the firm known as the "Two Brothers.'' He has since been closely identified with the industrial and mercantile interests of Schulenburg. Gustav Sengelmann's wife was formerly Bertha Sommer, who was born in Schulenburg, a daughter of Ferdinand and Augusta Sommer, her parents being both natives of Germany. Three children have been born of this union-Gustav, Jr., Silva and Wilbur. Both Charles and Gustav Sengelmann are members of the Sons of Hermann. Charles is also identified with the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He takes great interest in civic affairs, and for a number of years has served as alderman. -- pp. 415-416 A 20th Century History of SW Texas

Note: Henry A. Sengelmann

Sunday afternoon at Schulenburg there was an immense gathering of friends, joining with the relatives to pay their last respects to one of Schulenburg�s best citizens, Henry A. Sengelmann; La Grange sent a delegation of over a hundred, Flatonia, Weimar, High Hill, Swiss Alp and surrounding territory also sent large delegations. Henry Sengelmann was well known to them all, a gentleman in the sense of the word; a citizen of worth and a friend it was always a great pleasure to esteem. Henry died at the La Grange Hospital last Friday night, after having suffered for a day and a half from the effects of a wound received at his home at Schulenburg, inflicted while suffering from a severe nervous attack. Rushed to the Hospital and every effort made to save his life, he died after much suffering, rational to the last; smilingly entering upon the journey that lengthens and leaves many aching hearts behind. Nervous prostration; an illness that yet challenges the mind of man to correctly describe, an illness that attacks the mental faculties and weakens the body, an illness that cancels responsibility of act. We knew Henry Sengelmann for many years; the interest and personal friendship was valuable to the writer, it was of that kind that makes men appreciate one another. Henry was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Sengelmann, pioneer settlers of Schulenburg, the first of nine children to break the tie of many years� standing, born in the year 1880, in March, forty-six years ago. He leaves to mourn his going, a widow and one daughter, Maxine, about sixteen years of age. His parents, four brothers and four sisters also survive. In canceling the ties of a living relationship Henry has gone to his reward; we shall miss the smile and words of welcome that ever made his presence felt wherever he went; we shall miss the man, and as we place the last shovel of earth upon his couch, bury with him whatever were his faults, but we cannot efface from memory the knowledge of a man that made it agreeable to be recognized as one of his friends, neither can we destroy the influence that was his, among his fellow men. None knew him but to love him; that legacy left to his daughter, together with the knowledge that all will mourn, should comfort the relatives, one and all. Our sympathy goes out to them all; a parting is written in the book of life, at some place upon some page of that book; sometimes the book is opened and a page falls under our gaze too soon, so we think; sometimes the page is the last in the book, thereon is written the word, Peace. We mortals feel keenly the sting of death, it severs ties we believe are strong and enduring, but when the light grows dim, when the oil fades, the grim reaper makes his demands. As Henry lay there in his casket, a perfect bower of the most beautiful flowers surrounding his bier, telling in silent messages the love that was encouraged for him, the scene reminded us all of that old axiom: �We part from the best we have.� The widow, with tear-dimmed eyes, the little daughter, the aged parents, and brothers and sisters, bowed in grief, gave his face one last, lingering look, and departed; friends came forward, banked the floral offerings at the cemetery and the western sun sank slowly behind the hills. In silence the return journey was entered upon, in silence Henry will sleep on; memory of him, however, will be kept alive. [The La Grange Journal, Thursday, November 25, 1926]
