Using stone quarried in Cibolo Creek bed, cedar from the nearby Kramme farm, and locally-made cypress shingles and lumber, Wilhelm Weidner (1835 - 1907) copied his ancestral home in Germany in building his two-story home here in 1873-1875. He incorporated a log house owned by his wife Maria (Kramme), for more room. He also built (1870s) the smokehouse-shop-laundry and (1904) the small stone dwelling. Four generations of the Weidner family have lived hre. RTHL - 1974 |
