Biography
Charles Robert Roscher is the infant son of Ernest Roscher and Louisa/Lucy Gould. The infant's father was born in Saxony, Germany in 1849 and came to the United States in the early 1870s. In Nueces County he met and married Louisa "Lucy" Gould on November 23, 1874. Lucy was born in Texas to parents who also came from Germany/Prussia like Ernest. Her father George was an early watchmaker in Corpus Christi. Her sister Mary was the second wife of John Pollan, Sr. after his first wife and John, Jr. died in the 1867 yellow fever epidemic (see Old Bayview listing for them). Ernest was an artisan who worked in wood and made many pieces of furniture such as cabinets for the citizens of Corpus Christi. Little Charles Robert appears to be the couple's first born. He was baptized September 25, 1875 in the First Presbyterian Church, but he did not outlive the year. He is buried near his parents and other relatives from the Gould and Roscher families.
