Nickname: Fritz Also Known As: Fritz From History of Antelope County 1868-1985: (by DaNolda Lemmerman) Friedrich Wilhelm Lemmerman, commonly called Fritz, was born April 24, 1846, at New Gorg, a section of Hamburg, district of Luneburg, in the Prussian Province of Hanover, now a part of the State of Lower Saxony, Germany. At the age of 21, Fritz entered the army as an alternate and recruit. His military service record lists his occupation as a farm hand, his religion Protestant. He was assigned to the 4th Company of the Second Hanoversche Infantry, regiment No. 77. On September 14, 1868, he was granted a sick leave and was to be transferred to the Reserves on October 1, 1860. However, on May 3, 1870, he was reassigned to active duty with Regiment No. 77 Second Hanover Infantry: ?For the mobilization and the war against France? (The Franco-Prussian War). During this was, Fritz participated in battles at Saarbruecken on August 6, 1870; at Metz on August 14, 1870; at Gravolette on August 18, 1870; at St. Thiebalt on August 28, 1870; and at Niorville on August 31, and September 1, 1870. Thereafter, he fought in the besieges of Metz, Thionville, Montmedi, Meziers, Rocroi, and the Battle of Marrac on January 14, 1871 and Sombacouch on January 28, 1871. During one of these battles, Fritz single handedly captured a bridge, enabling the Germans to control a very important road. For this act, he was awarded the Iron Cross, a military decoration, established by King Frederich William III of Prussia in 1813, to honor outstanding bravery in service. He was buried with this decoration. The war was ended with the signing of the Treaty of Frankfort on May 10, 1871. But this did not end Fritzs military service. It was to last another ten years. On November 22, 1871, he married Maria Magdelina Dorothy Wall, commonly called Mary. Mary was born on November 19, 1849, in Germany. They resided in Dellien and it was there that three of their children were born. Fred, on December 9, 1872; Edith on October 24, 1873; and Mary on September 27, 1874. Their fourth child, Dora, was born on March 7, 1876 and a son, Otto, was born on April 4, 1880, a sixth child, Frida, died in infancy. Fritz was discharged, with honors, from the military service, after 14 years, on 11-8-1881. Fritz had a brother, William, who had emigrated to the United States in 1871 to escape militarism. Having family in the US was, no doubt, one of the reasons that helped Fritz reach the same decision. His passport was issued on May 20, 1885. He was listed as No. 11 on the register and named as ?Worksman Fritz Wilhelm Lemmerman, from Dellien, who in the escort of his wife and five children will travel to Nebraska, where their son, Frank, was born on June 6, 1887. In 1891 the family moved to a farm two miles north and one-half west of Neligh, just east of what was later known as Britney School. Their eighth child, Henry, was born on this farm on January 14, 1892. After this house was destroyed by fire, Fritz moved his family to Neligh and for two years continued to farm the land. He then sold the farm and semi-retired in Neligh raising flowers and vegetables and doing general handi-work for other people. On August 20, 1885, Fritz made his declaration of allegiance to the United States before H. E. Kryger, Clerk of the District Court, Antelope County, Nebraska, and on January 24, 1892, he became a citizen of the United States. Fritz? wife, Mary, died on December 27, 1901, and is buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery in Neligh. In January 1906, he married Ellen Sutor, but they were later divorced. On December 13, 1909, at Madison, Nebraska, Fritz married Katherine Hoesly Fischer, who was born on December 9, 1893, in Switzerland. She had five children: Jacob, Albin, Edward (at one time Sheriff of Madison County, Wisconsin), and Henry (all deceased as of this date) and Henrietta, now Mrs. Einar Kloppedal of Madison, Wisconsin.
