William F Fritsche, Sr
I am seeking Information about my Grandfather, William Fred Fritsche Sr.Born in Creston, Nebraska on 17 Sep 1888.Parents were Louis Fritsche and Gertrude Sheldon. William left home one morning and travelled as far as his money would permit, reaching Louisiana.As a result of this action, William was disowned by his family .He was permitted to return only for the church services at the funeral of his father, LLouis.After the services, he was escorted from the church and told not to ever return again. Back in Louisiana, he joined the Marines and eventually became the Sgt/Maj in charge of training forces at Paris Island Marine Depot in South Carolina.He married Martha Ann Byrne and they had the following children:Gertrude, Martha Ann, William F Jr., Thelma, and Ruthie.All of the childrenwere born at Paris Island Maarine Depot, South Carolina. If anyone has any information (good or bad) re my Grandfather, please contact me.I will be happy to share whatever information I can with you.
