Charles Schreiner (Texas rancher)
Charles Armand Schreiner, Sr. (February 22, 1838 – February 9, 1927), was a cattle and sheep rancher, merchant, banker, politician, and philanthropist from his adopted city of Kerrville in West Texas. He is often called the "father of the Hill Country''.
==Background==
Born in Alsace, France and descended from nobility, Schreiner was the son of Dr. Gustav Adolph Schreiner and the former Charlotte Bippert (1809-1857). In 1852, the Schreiners moved to San Antonio, Texas, then a village just sixteen years since the Battle of the Alamo. His father died soon after their arrival in San Antonio; his mother, not long afterward.
From 1854 to 1857, Schreiner was a member of the Texas Rangers. He left the law enforcement division to purchase with the help of a brother-in-law a small general store at Camp Verde, a former military outpost in Kerr County. He contracted with the War Department to supply beef and other rations to soldiers. Camp Verde was a base for experimentation with the camel as a beast of burden in the American Southwest. From 1861 to 1864, Schreiner fought as a private in the Confederate States Army under General John George Walker during the American Civil War.〔
In 1861, he wed the former Mary Magdalena Enderle, known as "Lena", a native of Germany.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frances Hellen "Fanny" Schreiner Jeffers )〕 The couple had eight children born between 1862 and 1881, the last of which died in 1971: Aime Charles Schreiner (1862-1935), Gustave Fritz Schreiner (1866-1962), Louis Albert Schreiner (1870-1970), Caroline Marie Schreiner Partee (1873-1947), Emile Louise Schreiner Rigsby (1875-1971), Charles A. Schreiner, Jr. (1876-1967), Walter Richard Schreiner, I (1877-1933), and Frances Hellen Schreiner Jeffers (1881-1940).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Captain Charles Armand Schreiner )〕
