WOLFF, ROSA--- JUNI 2, 1885-FEB. 1, 1890

Jackie Valentien has typed this in July 2002 from information that was taken
from a copy of the San Antonio Historical and Genealogical Vol. 25 # 1
pages 36-37 and from a report copied July 31, 1977. The information typed in
red is oral history my husband and I obtained from old timers in the
community that lived here during the early 1900's. We also received
information from St. John Lutheran Church records. We also walked the
cemetery and looked at the stones and crosses. There are other graves we are
told, but no markers to show where and no names known. If anyone has any
corrections or additions please post to the List!

[Can anyone verify the German spelling? I scanned this into text, hope it
is correct! Please let me know of any scan-os you may find]
