They immigrated in 1880. On the 1910 census it was noted that they had 10 ch. with 9 living. I know of only five ---- 1.Max b. 1888 in IL. d.

According to a newspaper article Misses Hattie and Martha Ryterski of Port Austin, Michigan visited their uncle Michael Ryterski of Perry County in Jan 1914.
