First child:
Louis Julius Freudenberg II (1922-1986) was the first born and he was drafted into the Army in 1941 but was discharged for having flat feet. He later had a child with Margaret Piatt.

He lived but never recovered completely. Around June or July 1941 Ralph was set on fire by neighborhood kids. The details are different depending on whose version of the story you hear, and the details will be made clear when the newspaper story is found in the Jersey Journal. In June of 1957 Ralph inherited $3,000 from the estate of Ralph Kohlman, his namesake. Ralph Kohlman was married to his aunt and that side of the family was well off. In 1993 Ralph was declared an incompetent and was hospitalized for renal failure. When he was dying they tried to find his brother, Arthur, in Keansburg, but Arthur had moved to Florida.
