OBITUARY: 5-14-1913
WOMAN, PIONEER OF STATE, DIES AT 84.
With Husband Mrs Christina Laux Came of San Antonio Nearly Sixty Years Ago:
A resident in this section of the state for the past 70 years, Mrs Christina Laux, 84 years old, died at 12:15 o'clock this morning at her home 324 1-2 Soledad street, where she had lived for 53 years.
The Laux home, four stories in height, thick-walled and crumbling, set far back in the yard on the San Antonio river, is one of San Antonio's old landmarks and was at one time the first waterpower driven mill in this city. It was built by Jacob Laux in 1860 and though later turned into a rooming house, has been the home of Mrs Laux ever since she moved in with her husband many years ago.
Mrs Laux was born in Germany and coming to this country in 1842, settled with her parents at the town of Indianola. A few months later the family removed to Cibolo, where they engaged in the milling business. They had been here but a few years however, when the mill was washed away in a flood and the family losing nearly all their possessions, again left for a new field.
In 1851, another mill was built, this time on the Salado at what is now known as the Kampmann place. For four years they operated here and then Jacob Laux came to San Antonio and built the present large four-storied mill on Soledad street. In 1880 the milling business was abandoned and the place turned into a tenement. Six years later, her husband, Jacob Laux died. Mrs Laux was well-known in San Antonio especially among the old residents here and leaves a host of friends.
She is survived by one daughter, Mrs Carrie Neubauer, a son, Herman Laux, both of San Antonio, 13 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock Friday morning at the family home, Rev O Hartmann to officiate. Burial will be made in the family lot in the old Lutheran cemetery.
a note in regards to Christina's obituary. It is mentioned that she came to this country in 1842, we know that it was actually June of 1848 by the ship's passenger list. It was then mentioned that she arrived with her parents, again the passenger list names May and Christina's siblings only. Also mentioned was that her family owned mills in two different locations however, all notations of her family listed farming as their occupations. If a mill was owned, it certainly would have been mentioned somewhere in their well documented histories. Submitted by Joan Ackermann Renfrow
