FRANK L. MOLITOR FAMILY
The Molitor name first appeared in the Aurora area sometime during the 1850's. Mathias Molitor was apparently in this group. He married Susan Grommes who bore him eight children. The family homesteaded on a farm that was located on what is now Molitor Road in Maywood. It is believed that stones from Mathias Molitor's farm were used to help build Annunciation Church in Maywood. All of Mathias's sons followed in their father's footsteps and pursued farming. One of the boys, Frank, eventually settled in Naperville. Initially, Frank farmed near West Chicago, Illinois at a sight that is now part of Fermi Lab. Then in 1915, Frank moved his family to SW Naperville to the Eichelburger farm. Frank had married Catherine Weber, an Aurora girl from "Pidgeon Hill". She bore eight children. One died in infancy. Around 1926, the family moved down the road to the Win G. Knoch farm. Here, Frank managed a dairy and hog operation until his death in 1954. Frank Molitor Jr. took over the business and has continued in that location for the past 27 years. It is with great pride and pleasure that the Molitor name has been linked for over half a century to that of the Knoch's.
