Medical history: Heart trouble starting after age 60
Family history:
William Frederich Fricke was among the first of his German family to be born American. His grandfather served in the German military and very much did not want his sons serving, as he had. When the oldest son, Ernst, was nearing completion of his apprenticeship as a master carpenter, the elder Ernst got busy making preparations to get his family to America .
In America, the Fricke's first settled near Mankato, Minnesota, later removing to a farm at nearby Belgrade township, over the county line, in Nicholett.
When William was about two years old, his family moved to Dovray, MN. Later to Cottonwood. These moves were in sync with the Cohrs family, not Fricke's. Most of the Fricke's remained in the Mankato and Nicholett area.
In 1902, William's father took his family and moved to Washington. William would have been 27 years old and newly married in those times. Nothing is said if he went with his father. Some of the Fricke's returned east and lived at Baldwin, ND. The obit does not state if William went west with his father and later was to Baldwin....or if he was already in Baldwin and chose to stay.
