• Name	William Carl von Rosenberg  [1, 2, 3, 4]
  Relationship	with Gustave Jean Baptiste Pitard
  Born	9 Aug 1863	Round Top, Fayette Co., Texas
  Gender	Male
  Census	1900	Hallettsville, Lavaca Co., Texas
  aged 37 (b. Aug 1863); born in Texas and parents born in Germany; no profession
  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.
  Died	5 Feb 1905	Hallettsville, Lavaca Co., Texas
  Buried	St. James Episcopal Church, Hallettsville, Lavaca Co., Texas   [5]
  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.
