born January 01, 1821 in Hof, Bad Marienberg, Germany, and died March 13,
1876 in Comaltown, Comal County, Texas. He married DOROTHEA PAPE February
10, 1850 in New Braunfels, Comal County, Texas.
Notes for LUDWIG HEINRICH NEEB:
Hof, district of Marienberg, dukedom Nassau. He was born at nine o'clock
at night on New Year's Day, 1821. He was baptized in the Evangelish
Church on 07 January, 1821 and his godparents were Ludwig Wiederstein and
Elizabeth Krumm. These people also lived in Hof, province of Marienburg,
dukedom of Nassau, Germany
In 1857 bought three lots in Comaltown from Christoph Isensee
(Comal County Deed Records, volume E page 550)
I have tried unsuccessfully to find where he is buried. I have some
information from my father, Norbert Joseph Jacobi, that he is buried
between two of his grandsons who died young. One was a Neeb and the other
a Reininger. If I can find where they are buried, I will know where
he is buried. I think his grave might be unmarked. I think it
is Comal Cemetery.

ix. LOUISE NEEB, b. September 09, 1867,
New Braunfels, Comal County, Texas; d. December 14, 1955.
Notes for LOUISE NEEB:
Because of information received from a distant family member that Louise
was a nurse in San Antonio and one thought that she had entered a convent
in San Antonio, I decided to inquire about these facts from the Sisters of
Charity of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio whose members did, among other
ministries, care for the sick. There is no record of a Louise Neeb
there. Obviously confusion existed because her sister Bertha did enter
a convent, The Sisters of Divine Providance.
