Note on Wife: Josephine Niggl - shared note
Pianist and teacher of music. Josephine Niggl was the daughter of a schoolmaster, one of a class who at that time in Germany held a position next in importance to that of the parish priest. She was a real musician herself and came of a family of musicians. A nephew of hers was a schoolmaster at Oberammergau with the task assigned to him of improving the music at the Passion Play; another nephew, had a magnificent tenor voice; and two nieces, Marie and Mathilde Wurm, were well known in the musical world, the former being the winner of a Mendelssohn scholarship in London.
