Alois Wallner
Alois Wallner was born at nine in the evening on 15 April 1846 at Burgkirchen an der Alz, a village in Upper Bavaria. He was baptized in the parish church the next morning. His father, Franz Xaver Wallner, was the village schoolteacher, and his mother was Rosalia Wimmer. His godfather was a farmer named Schneiderbauer, and the farmer's wife Anna stood in for him at the font.
Alois became a professional soldier. By 1876 he was a Feldwebel, the senior sergeant of a company, in the royal Bavarian 2nd Jäger Battalion, a battalion of light infantry riflemen. He lived in the barracks at Burghausen, a garrison town on the Salzach river, which there forms the border with Austria.
On 26 July 1876 he married Agnes Spitzl at Burghausen. He was thirty and she was twenty-four. She was working as a waitress at the Post, the town's inn. The witnesses were two men of his battalion: Joseph Riedl, the battalion gunsmith, and Joseph Ottenhuber, a fellow sergeant. The clerk first wrote the groom's name as Franz Xaver, which was his father's name, then struck it out and wrote Alois above it.
By New Year 1880 Alois was a Feldwebel in the 16th Infantry Regiment, and the family was still living in the barracks at Burghausen. There his son Erhard was born at a quarter past midnight on 1 January 1880, the first child baptized in the parish that year. The boy's godfather was the regiment's staff bugler, also named Erhard.
The family says Alois was still living during the First World War. His son Erhard had gone to Reno, Nevada, in 1913, leaving his wife and children in Bavaria, and his father wrote to him again and again asking him to come home.
