Large Kendall County family traces roots to pioneer Voelcker clan
The article profiles Mrs. Louisa Voelcker of Boerne as head of a vast Kendall County family. Her husband Eugene Voelcker, a 1846 German immigrant, settled near Bergheim before moving to Kendall County. After his 1865 death, Mrs. Voelcker raised eight children, all but one of whom later married into the Sueltenfuss, Pfeiffer, Fink, Poss, and Richter families. By 1920 the clan boasted 69 grandchildren, 122 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild, with many lives marked by widowhood and lasting community ties. Mrs. Voelcker remained active until recent losses.
