SCHLADOER.

Looking for any kind of information, whether fact, story, hearsay, etc., for HUGO SCHLADOER born April 16, 1845, who was murdered by a man named Gustav Ehlers on May 16, 1891. Hugo was married to Marie Catherine (maiden name unknown) and the 1880 Kerr County census shows he had four daughters; Agnes, Adelheid (or Adelina), Bertha and Minna. Marie Catherine Schladoer was born 5/9/1840 and died 6/13/1885, six years before Hugo's murder. Hugo and Catherine are buried in the Quihi Community Cemetery in Medina County, Texas, next to their daughter Adelheid Schladoer Reitzer, her husband and their son. Since Adelheid would have probably had no connection with Quihi before her marriage in 1898, it is possible that she had her parent's graves moved before her death in 1955. I have some of the Kerr County court records on the trial of Gustav Ehlers, and am hoping there is more information out there somewhere. I'm posting this to the Kendall County page since the Schladoer family settled around Cypress Creek/Lane Valley, etc. and their descendants still live in the area.

BIERSCHWALE, GILES, and MCADAMS.

I am researching my family history, and I have heard that they lived in Comfort, TX. My great great grandparents were John Isom Giles and Dorietta Bierschwale. He is from Tennessee and she is from Germany. John and Dorietta's children were Lula, Frederick, Rebecca Francis (My great grandmother who married Benjamin Hays McAdams), John Henry, Elizabeth, Edna, Myrtle, Eddie, Edward, John Jerome, and Fannie. I don't have much information on the children but I think that they were born in Comfort. I believe the Giles and the Bierschwales lived in comfort for a while. If anyone has any information on them, please email me atJanna Campbell Saturday, June 28, 2003 11:14 AM

MEADOR

The SSI Death Indexes show the death of Joseph Meador, b. Jan. 19, 1891, d. Oct, 1980, Boerne, Kendall Co., Tx. My uncle Joseph Arnet Meador was the son of Charlie William Meador and Mary Angeline Crowder. I would appreciate contact with family members, or anyone who can direct me to his obituary. My grandfather, Albert Ray Meador (known as "Uncle Bert") was his brother. Mary Wallace Tuesday, September 09, 2003 3:56 PM

JUANA GARCIA BONILLA - INCIDENT 1920's

I am looking for any information on a shooting that occurred in Boerne, probably in the spring of 1922. My great grandmother, Juana Garcia Bonilla Briellard/Cerda was shot in the eye by a fugitive, Francisco Cerda. She was married to a Theodoro Cerda (Breillard). *His true name was Breillard, but he used "Cerda", the name of the family who took him in. *The fugitive was apparently related to this family. The judge at the time was a Phillips and the sheriff was Bishwell. After shooting Juana twice (1 bullet missed and 1 hit her in the eye), the fugitive shot himself to death. Juana stayed in a sanitarium run by sisters for about a year and her children were taken in by different families in the community. (George by Judge Phillips, Frank by Sheriff Bishwell, and Josie and Lucy by the Potters). If anybody has an article on this, or more information, I would sincerely appreciate your contacting me.Jennifer Avina Saturday, September 20, 2003
