Port Lavaca would be great or if you want to have it in Shiner we can go to my house or we can have it in Flatonia and I'll get the small community center and then we could go to cemetery...There are some Amsler grave sites here in Shiner...I'll get the names for you....
We hope everyone took one of the business cards containing our e-mail address and Amsler family web site. Just in case you did not take a card, the Amsler web address is: http://home.austin.rr.com/samtex/amslers.html. This site is an effort to extend family history subsequent to the Amslers of Austin’s Colony. This page also list family photo album links that may not be transparent in the Amslers.html site In our 2007 gathering in Shiner we distributed CD’s with contents of this site. If you have any old photos that you would loan please bring them to our reunion next year, or attach to e-mail and we will include them in the web site. If you are unable to scan the images and attach to e-mail, you can mail them to me and I will return them after scanning. We will add those photos to the amslers site. The blog site you are now reading was created this morning, 6/14/08 for the purpose of recording family gatherings and to post links of family albums. This post (page) provides link to Google Album where 6/14/08 photos are uploaded.
We also have links to photos of 2007 family gathering that are shown on this page. This page contains links to Shutterfly.com albums, and from that site you are able to order prints. Since most images that you see on this page may have been optimized the quality is not the best for printing. If requested, we can retrieve the original photos for e-mail.
The pages I distributed stated that “Charles acquired land holdings, established a stage coach line and was owner of the Amsler inn. Charles died on may 2, 1874 and was buried in Hemstead(misspelled) in Waller County ” The article source was “Mary Katherine Welhausen Borchers (GGGD) whatever “GGGD” means.
Bob, Sherry, Larie and I visited the cemetery outside of Cat Spring but many headstones were so old that the inscriptions were not legible. Larie and I considered driving to Hempstead as the Amsler’s book has an image of Amsler monument on page 33, but we were getting tired and headed home instead.
