About Ann Drucilla Wildbahn
Biography
When Ann Drucilla Wildbahn (Lancaster) was born on May 7, 1825, in Madison, Alabama, her father, Josiah, was 32, and her mother, Lucy, was 21. Her father passed away in circa 1834 and after her mother married Judge Thompson Mason Rector, they also migrated to Manor, Texas.
She married Isaac Wildbahn in 1850 in Bellefonte, Jackson, Alabama. He was a successful plantation and merchant owner in Alabama and Texas. They had six children during their marriage, only three lived to adulthood.
Windbahn Plantation was a working ranch and farm with several thousand acres. Isaac Wildbahn bred horses and cattle as well as successful mercantile stores in Travis County, Texas. He fought for The Texas Calvary during the Civil War and died on August 25, 1866, at age 51 yrs old and just three years after their move, when they were finally getting settled, The fencing was finished, their large home was built, five children born, but one died as an infant and two lost to illness. Now Ann Drucilla faces another loss her beloved husband. She never does not marry again, he left her financially secure and she was independently minded and was able to manage quite well.
A Telegram reached San Saba, on the tenth of February, bringing the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. A.D. Wildbahn, which took place at Austin on the morning of that day.
Mrs. Wildbahn has for the past few years spent a part of each year with her daughter Mrs. J.H. Martin of this place where she has formed a large circle of friends, who had learned to appreciate and admire her strength of mind and character, her broad Christian sympathies and her quiet unobtrusive benevolence. Her life was in the highest and noblest sense a success. The untiring energy, the pure and lofty motives, and the sweet charities which characterize and consecrated it, have left their undying influence upon those who come after her.
In the fullness of years and with her life's labors complete, she has gone from these scenes of toil and pain and sorrow, to where she can feel their sting no more. But to those she has left behind; to those whose youth has been guided and served by her inspiring influence and example; to those whose burdens have been lightened by her thoughtful care and solicitude; to those whose pilgrimage has been brightened by her sympathetic companionship; to those whose lives have been lighted and strengthened by her pure and exalted character; to all these there has come a blank; the painful shock of separation; The Chilling scene of an irreparable loss. But they mourn not as those who have no hope; the pain of separation is soothed by sacred and consoling memories of the departed, and faith points to a happy reunion beyond the skies, where the holy links of affection that have been sundered here will be reunited.
