Rosa passed away at a young age, כ"ד טבת תרמ"א and is buried in Mattersdorf.

They had two children:

    2. דברתי עם ר' מאיר יודא וואזנער שליט"א בשבת בבקר, וגם עמד שמה ר' מרדכי זלמן פעלדמאן שליט"א ואמר לי שזקנינו ר' זלמן ברייער היו לו שני זיווגים, מזיווג אחד נולד לו שני בנים, אחד הי' חלש ונפטר כשהי' בחור, גם השני נפטר כשהי' בחור מפני שהחשיך לו בדרך בע"ש ולא ידע שבסכנה מותר לחלל שבת, או לא הבחין שהוא סכנה, עכ"פ מחמת יראת שמים נשאר על הדרך בחורף ול"ע נקפא בקור, וחפשוהו כמה ימים עד שנמצא זכרונו לברכה.
      אחרי כן נשא את זקינתינו מרת מאטל שהיתה בתולה והוא הי' מבוגר ממנה איני זוכר אם אמר י"א שנים או י"ג שנים. וממנה נולדה לו שש בנים ושלשה בנות, ואת כל התשע הכירם ר' מאיר יודא והיו חשובים ויראי שמים מרבים.
      נמצא לפי זה שר' חיים וואלף הי' מזיווגו ראשון ונפטר כשהי' בחור, ואח המבוגר הי' זקיני ר' אלעזר צבי וכו',
      והקטן הי' ר' דוד מבני ברק, והי' תלמיד של הויגד יעקב, כן העיד ר' מרדכי זלמן שהי' מזכיר את הויחי יוסף כבנו של הרבי, ור' מאיר יודא אמר שהי' גם תלמיד הקרן לדוד.
      ברוב כבוד י. י. ב

    4. You wrote the "Breuers were originally from Mattersdorf, Zalmon, Dally's grandfather, and his brothers moved to the nearby city of Sopron." While that is technically true, you missed an important interim residence. David Breuer (born circa 1826, died 11 Dec 1891) and his first wife Shvartzel Deutsch raised their children in Walbersdorf/Borbolya, which was close to Mattersdorf. It appears that all or nearly all their children were born there. I am not sure where David lived after his second marriage -- he could have stayed in Walbersdorf or moved back to Mattersdorf. At some point he moved to Sopron, because that is where he died. He was buried in Mattersdorf.
