Wilhelm Schenker, third child--first surviving child--of Johann and Julia Schenker, hence Heinrich Schenker's elder brother, who became a medical doctor. His wife's first name was Dodi, and the couple lived in Kautzen. Wilhelm does not appear to be mentioned in Schenker's diary before 1914, when Heinrich comments that Wilhelm is due to take his pension in 1915. Wilhelm--like Moriz, the youngest child--was relatively well-off, and he figures in Schenker's diary as providing money to Julia (OJ 1/15, pp. 677, 679, September 1 and 3, 1914), and in 1918 is involved with funeral and grave-stone arrangements for Julia. Correspondence Eight letters from Wilhelm to Heinrich and his wife Jeanette are known to survive as OJ 14/6 (1930-39) and two as OC 44/38 and A/296 (1934), and 106 letters and postcards from Heinrich to Wilhelm as OJ 5/38. |
