From "History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin", 1881, p. 770. City of La Crosse F. LAPITZ, merchant, on Fifth street, between Mississippi and Winnebago, has been a resident of La Crosse since December, 1860. He was born in Bohemia in 1841; son of Frank Lapitz, Sr., who died when young Frank was only 6 years old. He came to the United States in 1860, and settled in La Crosse; has been in his present business since March, 1880. He was married in 1863, to Rosalia Liskovez; has five children - Mary, Christina, Caroline, Joseph and Charlie. Mr. Lapitz has a general store, and owns the building in which he is doing business, but F. R. Kreutz has an interest in the stock. [I am not related to this family and have no further information.
