NOTES
Alex Flachmann was one of three children born to Bertha and Henry Flachmann. Marie Theresa was the oldest, Alex born in 1871 in Herford, Germany
was the middle child, then a younger sister. Bertha and Henry were married in Herford Germany and came to the America in 1876 and settled in
Hallettsville, Texas. In Feb of 1877 Henry filed for a divorce from Bertha claiming she committed adultery with another man. Bertha married Albert
Bonorden shortly after her divorce. Albert Bonorden and Bertha had six of their own children and Albert in his will claims the three Flachmann children
as adopted children. So the three Flachmann children took the Bonorden name. Thus Alex Bonorden. Alex later settled in Sinton in early 1900's and
owned a Dr. Pepper bottling company for many years. Alex's younger sister married a Miller. Alex's wife was a Rother. Alex had 3 children but only
one had children. One child, his daughter married a Preston.
