Kate was born May 24, 1873 in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas to Philip Koerbel and Caroline Stalp. Philip and Caroline Koerbel were among the first five families who were registered as charter members of the Ebenezer Lutheran Church in Maxwell. It is documented that the first meetings of the Maxwell Ebenezer Lutheran Church met under shade trees in the pasture of Philip Koerbel. Kate's grandparents were Wilhelm Stalp and Wilhelmia Jung, from Hanover, Germany, who had settled near New Braunsfels after coming to America.
December 1891, the wedding ceremony for Kate and Fritz Schulle was conducted by Rev. Poch, future brother-in-law of Fritz. One hundred, fifteen years later a great grandson was allowed to rummage in the basement of a San Antonio Courthouse to find the copy of their marriage license which had been recorded in San Antonio.
After their first three children were born, and the death of the third child, Fritz and Kate Schulle moved to Yorktown, DeWitt County, Texas. It is not known if that area was chosen because Fritz had a younger sister, Louise Poch, living there. In 1897 twins were born to Fritz and Kate in Yorktown. One of the twins died, and shortly Fritz and Kate moved back to Maxwell from Yorktown. They are shown in the Maxwell Church Register 1897.
By 1900 he had built their home and was farming his land outside the town of Lockhart. Fritz was granted Citizenship on March 24, 1913; a time when to remain in America, it was necessary to apply for naturalization. However, as wife, Kate was not required to complete the paperwork, citizenship became automatic.
In 1930, the youngest son was still living at home; after the separation of Fritz and Kate, another son with his family came to live with Fritz. Kate lived in the township of Lockhart for a few years, then moved to Channelview to live with her daughter Hertha, where she later died and was buried there.
