Note*Fayette County Biographies The articles below appeared in A History of Texas and Texans, by Frank W. Johnson (Edited and brought to date by Eugene C. Barker with the assistance of Ernest William Winkler. To which are added historical, statistical and descriptive matter pertaining to the important local divisions of the State, and biographical accounts of the leaders and representative men of the state.), Chicago and New York: The American Historical Society, 1916. LUDWIG VOELKEL. The career of Ludwig Voelkel, whose home is located on Cummings Creek, adjacent to Warrenton, is an illustration of the possible control over early limitations and the wise utilization of ordinary opportunities. He received only limited advantages in his youth and left the parental roof at an early age, determined to make his own way in the world, and through industry and enterprise his ambitions have been realized and at this time he is the owner of a valuable property of 265 acres in the Logan League, six miles east of Warrenton. Mr. Voelkel was born January 25, 1846, at Wichenstein, Prussia, and is a son of John J. Voelkel. The Voelkel family left Prussia in 1849, sailing from Bremen and landing at Galveston after a trip of thirteen weeks, and then went to Houston by boat and on by ox-wagon to Shelby, Austin County, Texas, where the father died in the same year. The family was left in fair circumstances, the father having purchased a small tract of land on which was located a log house, this latter being soon replaced by Jacob Voelkel, the grandfather of Ludwig Voelkel, whose death occurred in 1850. Mrs. Voelkel subsequently married Ferdinand Hezel and continued to live in that locality, dying in Austin County, Texas, at the remarkable age of ninety- six years, and being buried at Shelby. By her first marriage she was the mother of three children: John J., who is a retired farmer living at Houston; William, who is engaged in farming at Rutersville; and Ludwig, of this review. By her second marriage Mrs. Voelkel was the mother of one son: Richard, who is a resident of Shelby. Ludwig Voelkel has lived in Fayette and Austin counties practically throughout his life. He was three years of age when brought to the United States by his parents and he grew up amid pioneer surroundings, obtaining his very limited education in the country schools. At the age of nineteen years he left home and began to learn the trade of carpenter, whifch he subsequently followed in Austin and Fayette counties, also doing some work in Washington County. Always a skilled and conscientious workman, a number of the buildings erected by him still stand as monuments to his contributions toward the building up of the community, these including several schoolhouses, among them the Haw Creek and Nassau, the Haw Creek store and a number of the business houses of Shelby. Mr. Voelkel turned his attention to agricultural pursuits and located on his present property on Cummings Creek in 1893, buying 305 acres of the Logan League, much of it on the Creek bottom, for $10 an acre. He cleared 100 acres of the tract, and of the 265 acres he now owns, 55 acres are under the plow. Mr. Voelkel has devoted his activities to the growing of cotton and corn, the popular crops of the community. Mr. Voelkel was not called upon to serve in the army during the Civil war. In national political matters he has steadfastly voted the democratic ticket, but in local matters is inclined to be independent and to give his support to the candidate whom he deems best fitted-for the office at stake. He never has been active politically, but has led a quiet, unostentatious life, content to devote himself to his estate and to supervise its many and extensive interests. He has done much to elevate the local standard of agriculture and to strengthen the popular regard for thoroughness, thrift and integrity. Mr. Voelkel was married in Austin County, Texas, in 1869, to Miss Catherine Schlabach, a daughter of Alexander Schlabach, who came from the part of Prussia which produced Mr. Voelkel. Mrs. Voelkel died in 1876 and left these children: Louis, of LaGrange, Texas; Hedwich, who is the wife of John Lenert, of Warrenton, Texas; Walter, who is a farmer on Cummings Creek, married Augusta Schultz; Zelma, who married Otto Menking, of Haw Creek; and Frieda, who is the wife of Fritz Bauerkemper, of Warrenton. Mr. Voelkel was married a second time to Mrs. Wilhelmina Kramer, a daughter of John Michess, of Prussia. There have been no children born to this union. -- pp. 1569-1570.
