169	Martin Kortz died from wounds inflicted with an ax by his step-son John Biemer after an altercation. John had come over to the two room house of Martin to take some butter. They became drunk from several drinks of whiskey and renewed a year long quarrel. John claimed he struck Martin with his fists. He said Martin did not fall to the floor, but first grappled with him and then came towards him and threatened him with an ax. John then took the ax and struck Martin with it and went home. About midnight John's mother (Martin's wife) came by and told John that his step-father had died. In the morning, John went into town to buy a coffin. When asked who had died, he answered that his step-father had killed himself with an Ax the night before. The officers arrived at the house, they found Martin dressed in clean clothing. They then found Martin’s bloody clothing and blood stains in both rooms of the house which showed signs of having been recently cleaned. They also found a vest with blood about fifty yards from the house. John was arrested and later posted a bond of $5000. At the time, John was one of the largest land owners in the county.

174	MILITARY: Mikolaj Opiela fought valiantly in the military from 1830-1848, and for his valor, he was granted vast woodlands and forests in Upper Silesia. PLACE: Gruenwald, Kr. Rosenberg, Oppeln, Silesia, Prussia is now know as Borowiany, powiat Olesno, Poland. Foehrendorf, Kr. Rosenberg, Oppeln, Silesia is now known as Zebrowice, powiat Olesno, Poland. EMIGRATION-IMMIGRATION: Left from port of Bremen on or about 01 Apr 1856. Possibly on the ship WESSER which sailed on 07 Apr 1856 and landed at Galveston, Texas on 03 Jun 1856. BIOGRAPHY: For his military valor, Mikolaj was granted vast woodlands and forests and as a large land owner, the title of Baron. Later the Prussian Government pressured him for the right of way for a railroad through his woodlands. Incensed by the idea of giving up his land and seeing it destroyed, he took the issue to court. He lost his court case. Saddened by the loss of the land he treasured, his financial loss in defending it, and the sudden death of his twelve remaining cattle, the family made the decision to come to Texas. The remaining land was divided or sold among relatives and friends. Descendants of Mikolaj's brother still live on the homestead. The family first went to Toczek, where they were given permission by the Prussian government to emigrate. They then went to Warsaw where they took a train to Bremen. The family left Bremen on or about 01 Apr 1856 and probably landed in Galveston, Texas in June 1856. The passage was 37 gold thalers per person ten years or older. With proof of age, children under ten required only 32 thalers. Since the family did not come to Texas as part of a colonization group, they were not limited to one trunk for their possessions. Once in Galveston, they boarded a smaller vessel to Indianola. From Indianola to Panna Maria, Texas the family traveled by oxcart. Family tradition states that Benito Lopez, a cartman at the time, transported the Opiela family and their possessions to Panna Maria. This encounter later resulted in the marriage of Benito Lopez and Mikolaj's oldest daughter Karolina. According to family tradition, Nicolaus was one of three brothers and a sister that emigrated to Texas in 1856. They settled in Panna Maria, Texas. The brothers were watchmakers and repaired jewlery in Prussia. Relatives still reside in Skrzydlowice, Poland (near Opole).	Opiela, Mikolaj "Nicolaus" (I799)
