This picture was another "almost" labeled. It says it was printed in Apr 58, if you look along the boarder on the left side of the image. On the back it says:
Nov. 1957 @ WillardsOkay, that is fine and dandy but who is the gentleman on the right? I remembered seeing some information on the Fritsche family tree that Mary Henry had sent so I called and asked if she would look at the picture. I sent her a copy and she replied. Then Kent Floro came over back in December to look at some pictures and gave me the same name for the man on the right so I believe we have a match, the man on the right is *drum roll please* Edward Fritsche. Ed & Will were two of the youngest three Fritsche children and the only two of the last five to make it to adulthood. (Bernard was born between Ed & Will and he died in 1876 at almost 2 years. Maria was born right before Edward and died Dec. 26, 1872. Ernst was born before Maria and died in 1872 at four years of age.) Today would be the 138th birthday of Edward.

Where It Fits: Will & Ed were the brothers of Robert John Fritsche, making them uncles to Merle Fritsche Leutz.
