Children of Peter & Anna Maria Walter:
Impressions from Clarence Schmitt: “Their son, Harold Arthur Trojovsky, became a famous baseball player. He changed his name to Hal Trosky, during his career to make it easier for the announcers. He won the National League batting championship several years. He played first base for the Cleveland Indians for most of his career, finishing with the Chicago White Sox. One of his most memorable plays happened when Babe Ruth was on 1st base. Normally you “hold ‘em up” but Babe turned to Trosky and said, “You better play back, he’ll cut your legs off.” Hal took time to ask his coach if he should really heed Babe Ruth’s advice. The coach agreed, and so he played way back. The next batter hit a line drive towards him and it whizzed so fast between his legs he had no chance to touch it. The batter was Lou Gehrig! Hal Trosky played for 17 years and would have played longer, but he suffered from severe headaches.”

5) Peter John Walter 
Impressions from Clarence Schmitt: “He would send $1000 to Boys’ Town every year. Was never there, just supported them.”
7) John Walter
Impressions from Clarence Schmitt: “I went to pick corn on the Schmucker place at Norway, Iowa. On Sunday Uncle Johnny and Aunt Anna invited me for dinner. Uncle Johnny took me to the cave where he had about six 50 gallon barrels of wine; all kinds….grape and rhubarb….He used a hose to siphon the wine for me to drink. By the time I had tried several, the room was spinning and he had to help me up to the dinner table. I remember having five slices of bread at my plate. I was so embarrassed as Aunt said, “Papa, what did you do to him?” Uncle Johnny laughed, “Well if he didn’t try to suck the barrel dry, he would be fine.” The next week a Boddicker kid came and the same thing happened, except he got even more, then had all the forks and knives at his plate…Uncle Johnny laughed and laughed.
John and Anna had twins, Ralph and Ray Walter, and “Sport” (Clarence)
