  Obituary	Obit., San Antonio Express, 6 Feb. 1905: William von Rosenberg. Hallettsville, Tex., Feb. 5 [illegible word] William von Rosenberg, aged 42, merchant and banker, died this morning after an illness of a week. He leaves a widow and 5 children.

  Notes	He died of pneumonia just after turning 42; he was much missed by his children. There is also an un-named daughter with this family in the 1900 census, born May 1900 (aged "8/12," eight months, at the census taken on June 14th). Why un-named at such a late age? Apparently she did not live.
