"John Karger and his wife came to Texas members of the family, in 1860. They first touched Texas soil at Galveston, disembarked at Indianola a few days later and journeyed overland in ox teams from that place to San Antonio. They went almost immediately from San Antonio to Sisterdale, where they lived for about a year, and then moved to Comfort. John Karger was a tanner and did a prosperous business at his trade at Comfort during the war between the States. He died in 1864, at forty-eight years of age, leaving a widow, who survives at seventy-three years of age, and eight children : Marie, Charles, Frederica (widow of Fritz Dietert), Paul, Emil, Fritz, August and Ernst, all living.
