  Carl Christoph Findeisen, Jr. was a stout, quiet man with a goatee, according to his granddaughter Gloria Ashorn Garrett. He came to Texas from Lengefeld, Saxony at age 22 with the rest of his family and applied for U.S. citizenship on April 26, 1858. After the Civil War, he farmed at Kirkendahl, near New Ulm, until they moved in with Edmund and Emma Ashorn. He died November 16, 1914 not long after they moved. Willie Findeisen took over the farm, and later moved to Sealy. His
 granddaughter Gloria Ashorn Garrett, who was three years old when he died, remembers him as a very affectionate man who called her "meine kleine Kindchen, meine kleine Elva" (my dear little child, my little Elva) or "my loving bundle," as he bounced
 her on his knee.
  Serving as an Confederate soldier along with his brother August in Waul's Legion Company D, Carl Christoph was captured at the battle of Vicksburg, MS. One of the last two remaining Confederate strongholds on the Mississippi River, Vicksburg fell to General Ulysses S. Grant on July 4, 1863 after a six-week siege. Over 30,000 Confederate prisoners were captured and immediately paroled back to their homes. But Carl remained a Union prisoner of war for eighteen months before finally accepting parole just before the end of the war.
