During his long residence in this city he was a leader in German musical circles and will long be remembered for the active part he took in this work.

William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas
WABAUNSEE COUNTY, Part 6
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES (HALL - ZWANZIGER)
R. A. WALD, under-sheriff, is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and was born in 1849, arriving in America with his parents in 1856, and receiving his education in Burlington, Racine Co., Wis., where his father had located, and where he, for many years, carried on an extensive tannery. The subject of this sketch upon attaining manhood's years acted as his father's traveling salesman, and subsequently for a Milwaukee hide and leather house. Owing to the delicate health of his wife, whom Mr. Wald was compelled to move to a milder climate, he, in 1878, located in this county, and turned his attention to insurance, representing the German Fire Insurance Company, of Freeport, Ill.; Connecticut, of Hartford; Home and Star Companies, of New York, and Union, of Philadelphia. Mr. Wald is a constable of the township, and also under-sheriff of the county.

Rudolph married Lietsch, Marie Magdalena in 1849 in Fredersdorf, Markisch-Oderland, Brandenburg, Germany. Marie was born on 13 Sep 1830 in Meyenburg, Prignitz, Brandenburg, Germany; died on 13 Sep 1878 in Burlington, Racine, Wisconsin, USA; was buried on 15 Sep 1878 in Burlington Cemetery, Burlington, Racine, Wisconsin, USA.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Housewife
• Alternate Birth: 15 Jun 1830, Meyenburg, Prignitz, Brandenburg, Germany
• Departure: 19 Jul 1856, Hamburg, Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany; Ship Harmonia to New York

Notes:

Death date is based upon a letter from Oliver R. Wald in which he states that he was eight years old when his mother died. In 1870 a Dora Lietsch age 17 is living in the household as a domestic servant. Also in the same household is William Lietsch age 50 and a carpenter. Finally along with Rudloph’s brother Charles is Dora Wald age 79 (born 1791) and born in Prussia. I suspect she is a sibling of Rudoph’s father.
