I am a descendant of another of the brothers, from Chicago. I think that AH had sons Victor and Walter, maybe as many a five children in all. AH was born in 1865, son of August Frederick and Anna C. Mueller of Peoria. In the 1910 Federal Census, AH and family are living at 316 Niagara Street. In about 1918, A H Friese lived in Sheboygan at 710 Center Avenue. There is an AH Friese in the 1880 Protland Oregon Census; this is not a relative (50 years old, born in Hanover) The following is from the History of the Sheboygan Press: The Sheboygan Press traces its roots as the chief news source of Sheboygan County back to Dec. 17, 1907, when the first edition of The Sheboygan Daily Press - as it was then known - was published. The front page of the first issue included news of President Theodore Roosevelt dispatching the U.S. Navy's "Great White Fleet" on its historic cruise around the globe. Since then, the paper's front pages have carried news that resounded the world over; The sinking of the Titanic; the bombing of Pearl Harbor; the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the landing of the Apollo missions on the lunar surface. Those events of historic importance have always been leavened with news of as much significance to local readers; a deadly tornado that swept across the county; a lengthy, controversial strike at The Kohler Co.; damaging floods that devastated parts of the city in 1998 and the Green Bay Packers triumphs in the Super Bowl. The Sheboygan Press has also carried the news of the births and deaths of the residents of its circulation area, stories of their triumphs and tragedies and moments of joy and sorrow. It all began with a paper started by a job-printing company, A. H. Friese & Bros. in 1906. In those days, the Daily Press entered a busy market that included three weekly papers in the city and four others elsewhere in the county. Eventually the paper enlisted the financial help of Charles Weisse, a Sheboygan Falls businessman and congressman, who hired Charles E. Broughton as editor in 1908. I am interested in finding what happened to the grandparents George and Fredericka Friese, as well as who the Brothers were. Thanks . Contact me by above email.
