Charles Philipp Axe (1831-1898) came to Louisiana about 1847. Although he was a tailor, he opened a wheelwright and blacksmith shop in New Orleans. Sixteen years later he led a group of relatives by boat to Galveston; from there they traveled to Duck Creek (now Garland) near Dallas. He and his brother Ludwig established the first German churches in Garland and Dallas.
