[edit] Removing reference to Sara Jacobi / Sara Michael

I'm removing the following sentence, which comprises its own paragraph in the Demographics secition:

Fredericksburg is also home to talented musician Sara Jacobi, aka Sara Michael.

She doesn't have her own entry in Wikipedia, and I didn't see any musicians at all on the first page of Google hits under either name, so it doesn't appear, at least to me, that she's notable enough (yet) to warrant a mention—though I certainly wish her all the best. I tend toward inclusionism in Wikipedia, but if every musician in Fredericksburg gets a mention, then this article will become unwieldy. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 21:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Persecution

I live in nearby Austin and have family members in Fredericksburg. I'm aware of the pro-union Texas resistance during the Civil War, but I'm not aware of any instance where Fredericksburgians were prosecuted solely because they were Germans. I'm altering that section. Foster2008 02:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suicide Rate

Regarding the line about the high suicide rate of Gillespy County: That should be in the entry for the Gillespy County, rather than for the city of Fredericksburg? I'm removing it from this entry. Quacks Like a Duck 16:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
