From an Ancestry Post:

I'm trying to find out more about my great great aunt, Mary Emmaline "Emily" (Rabia) (Mondier) WALD and her husband, Theodore "Theo" WALD. From a 1990 letter written by Odell Myers accompanying Santiago Rabia's papers donated to the Alamo, I have a few clues -- that the Walds had a house on East Bow Street which was damaged by a fire, that "they died in the 1930s" and that they are buried in "the Old Noonday Cemetery just East of Tyler." Another distant cousin remembered that there were headstones for their graves. She recalled that they were known to the family as Aunt Emm and Uncle Theo. Aunt Emm also went by Emily. Mary E and Theodore Wald appear on the 1900 through 1920 census records for Tyler, Smith Co., TX. Aunt Emm had been married before to Peter Mondier (seen spelled Mondere as well as Mondeer). She had a son James Mondier. He appears in a directory listing for Waco, TX in 1886, 1887 as a switchman for "T and street L Railway." Aunt Emm's granddaughter, "Elen R Mondeer," appears on the 1910 census residing in the Wald household, listed as age 14. The 1990 letter to the Alamo refers to the granddaughter as "Reitzel." On the Smith County, TX census records 1900 through 1920, the Walds have neighbors Charles H. and Ellen Reitzell. Aunt Emm was born before 1850 in Nacogdoches County, TX to Santiago RABIA and Nancy Rebecca CARROLL. The 1990 letter to the Alamo states that she may have resided in or near Belcherville, Montague Co., TX when married to Peter Mondere (Mondier). She appears on 1870 census records for Grayson County as Mary E Mondier. On 1880 census records for Grayson County, she is listed as Mary E Mondere. I would also like to know what happened to her son, James Mondier, and granddaughter, Elen R Mondeer/ Mondier/ Mondere.

A Response to the Post:

in Section C of Liberty Hill Cemetery, NE of Tyler at intersection of E. Erwin & FM 2767:

Theo Wald 2-16-1849 - 5-26-1938

Emily Wald 11-28-1844 - 5-6-1936
They are also listed in some City Directories in the 30's, living at 420 E. Bow St. In 1937, Theo is listed alone.

My Response to the Post:

I have a Theodore Wald who was born in 1848 (by early census records)although it could be 1849. He was born in Fredersdorf, Markisch-Oderland, Brandenburg, Brandenburg, Germany; the son of Emmanual and Mary Wald. He first came to Madison, Wisconsin then to Cooper County, Missouri. When the Civil War broke out Emmanual took part of his family back to Wisconsin. Mary was deceased by that time. Part of the family stayed in Missouri. The family was very musical (Emmanual was a music teacher in Germany) so Theodore and his brother Adolph ended up in a regimental Union Army band during the War. Theodore returned to Boonville Cooper County, Missouri but left sometime after 1870. It is said that he left for Texas and the family lost touch with him. Could The Theodore Wald who married M. E. Mondere on 22 Apr 1890 in Navarro County, Texas and mine be one in the same?

To me this is a long story of many years in the making. In 1870 Theodore was a tanner in Boonville. A little bit puzzling until I remember that a number of his brothers were shoemakers, leather salesmen, etc. While in Boonville he boarded with the Dauwater family.

Died:
420 E Bow Street

Theodore married Rabia, Mary Emmaline on 22 Apr 1890 in Navarro, Texas, USA. Mary was born on 28 Nov 1844 in Texas, USA; died on 6 May 1936 in Tyler, Smith, Texas, USA; was buried on 8 May 1936 in Liberty Hill Cemetery, Tyler, Smith, Texas, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Theodore married Carroll, Nancy Rebecca on 23 Feb 1880 in Sherman, Grayson, Texas, USA. Nancy was born on 16 Jan 1823 in Kentucky, USA; died on 22 Jul 1888 in Montague, Texas, USA; was buried after 22 Jul 1888 in Oak Hill Cemetery, Montague, Texas, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

From the Burlington Standard

Christian Emanuel Frederick Wald, was born Nov. 25th, 1795 in Prussia, Germany, emigrated to America and Burlington until 1859, when he went with his family to Boonville, Missouri. When the late rebellion began, two of his sons Herman and Adolph joined the Union Army. There his wife died in Dec. 1863, after being an invalid for nine years. He then left the state and went back to Wisconsin, and has lived in and around Burlington with his children. Being a school teacher in Prussia for twenty-seven years he could not do otherwise here than teach the children of his family and those of his friends, until sickness compelled him to give it up, and did not complain until the two last days. He would complain of feeling cold, andf or that reason kept close to the stove, and went one hour and one half until death relieved him. He leaves 13 children, of which but three were present at his funeral. He died at the residence of his son, Herman.

In 1870 he was living with his daughter Augusta nee’ Wald Schmidt in Salem, Kenosha, Wisconsin.
