Family History Researcher	From: Kathy Fuhrman [mailto:genea12nut@att.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 3:32 PM To: 'Ken & Lori Dollevoet' Subject: RE: Correction for Jerome Fry 1868-1948 Thank you so much Lori. As stated previously I am unrelated to these people. I am working on Jay Wilpolt's website called 1Familytree.com, which is the genealogy of all families who have ties to the Fox Cities. Celia & Jerome were listed on his site. What I do not understand is - Celia was living with her grandparents & FATHER? in the 1910 census-Why were her siblings not living three also? Why were the children placed in the Orphans home to begin with IF her Father was still alive? You would think the grandparents or his siblings would take the kids in. So Celia's Parents are Antone & Marie Tuscherer Wettengel? Yes Ok that makes more sense than Antone & Barbara as Ancestry seems to claim These are grand parents. This line is fascinating. Yes this is very interesting. Well this is odd. I did some checking in the new family search database (much better than their old one.) According to https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XRGD-WQH Anton Wettengel and Mary Tuscherer were married on January 27, 1891. Their youngest child Rose was born in 1897, but by 1900 Anton is living with his parents with no wife or children https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MMKB-6PP . I searched for Mary and found she was in Winnebago mental hospital in 1900 (Northern Hospital for the Insane) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MM2T-FSK So, he returns to live with his parents and lets the kids go to an orphanage. How sad. She seems to appear again in society in Outagamie County in 1930 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X9SC-DP3 and 1920 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MF2H-V96 . Cecilia had a rough life it would seem. Her mother had 3 husbands, at least one abusive. I don't know how well she liked Jerome. She was into lots of trouble in his life. If you check out Jerome Fry on my web at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kuykendall2fry/otie_kuykendall.htm. you will see that he murdered 2 people (self defense it says). He seems to have left his first wife with kids for my g Grandma Otie who had been the babysitter. Celia appears to have been his baby sitter after he and Otie divorced (what grounds I do not know, I should check the Appleton Courthouse records - it might be interesting). But there is a 30 year age gap with Cecilia and Jerome? All I know is that the Mader family (my great aunts Peal Mader and Cecil Frye are buried in the same plot area) will put flowers on all the graves but ignore Jerome's. No one will talk about him but his children really didn't like him at all for some reason. The full photo of him I have on the web page where he is standing with a water tower behind him (this was taken by Goodland Field in Appleton) is the only full shot I have found of him. Interestingly enough, my Grandmother had torn it down the center. If you look close you can see I photo shopped it but there is still the tear showing on his face through his right eye. They really didn't like him. I don't know if there had ever been abuse or what, but I hope Cecilia had a good life with him. Jerome's son Frank (my step grandpa) was an Appleton Police officer and is the oldest unsolved murder in Winnebago County. He was retired and working for a hotel in Appleton during the night shift. He was abducted and found shot on the roadside in 1969. The murder still has not been solved. I was 11 when he was killed but remember him well. Again thank you so much for all your great helpJ Kathy I'm attaching a word document for the Wettenger family with my documentation. If you can't open the format, let me know. It is docx and some people don't have that software. I can save it another way too. Also I have Jerome's obit if you need that. Lori
