  • Heinrich born Westerkapplen, Germany; married St. Louis, MO; naturalized in Madison, NE; died Ritzville, WA
  • Henry arrived in St. Louis when about 25 years old and worked there about 7 years driving a team hauling beer etc. on a "Dray Wagon". The year prior to his marraage, Henry filed for a timber claim of 80 acres about 1 mile south of Tilden, Neb. On this land Herman, Ida, Minnie, George and Helen Freese were born. The family moved to Ritzville, WA in March of 1901 where John was born. About 1 year later they bought a farm about 4 miles S.W. of Ritzville and farmed in that area the remainder of his life. He died of a stroke while chopping wood and his wife Dena died a few months later. Written by Barbara Jolly '86
