MSLER, LOUIS D.
No citizen of Hempstead enjoys to a greater degree the confidence and high esteem of his fellow townsmen than does Louis Daniel Amsler, the vice president and cashier of the Farmers' National Bank, a stockholder and director and the treasurer of the Citizens' Water Company and the president of the Hempstead Cotton Warehouse Company. He is a native son of Montgomery County, born there on the 2d of March, 1869, to the marriage union of Charles and Julia (Meyer) Amsler, both also born in Texas. The paternal family was founded in this state by Charles Conrad Amsler, who came in 1833 from Switzerland and located at Cat Spring, in Austin County, where he was engaged in farming and later in the cotton gin business. In 1866 he removed to Montgomery County and took up sawmilling, retiring from that business in 1870, and he died in 1872, when sixty-six years of age. Cat Spring was the birthplace of his son Charles, and the two were engaged together in the sawmilling business in Montgomery County until 1883, and in 1885 the family moved to Hempstead, where Charles Amsler became prominently known in connection with the cotton oil and ginning industry, and followed that line of work until his death in 1891, when fifty-six years of age.
Louis D. Amsler in his youth attended the private school of McMarkey at Plantersville, and in 1885 he matriculated in the A. & M. College, and graduated in 1889, with the degree of B. M. E. Following that training he was connected with the oil and gin business with his father until in 1901 he accepted the cashiership of the Farmers' National Bank at Hempstead, a position he has ever since filled, and he is also one of the directors of the bank. He has served his county as its treasurer, and he served four years under Governor Lenham as one of the directors of A. & M. College, his alma mater, his term of office extending from 1902 until 1906. He is a member of the Hempstead Lodge of Masons and the Modern Woodmen of America and of the Sons of Herrmann. In politics he votes with the Democratic party, and he is an efficient and active worker in local and state affairs.
Mr. Amsler was married, in 1893, to Miss Ralphie Hervey, a daughter of Capt. F. A. Hervey, a veteran of the Confederate army and a resident of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Mr. and Mrs. Amsler have three children: Louise, aged sixteen; Hervey, aged twelve, and Harriet, aged two.
