Notes |
- Peter was confirmed by RC Bishop Thomas Joseph Dowling at St. John Baptist Church in Chepstow, Ont. Peter was confirmed with the name "Erasmus". Peter and Catherine "Kate" Klein were married by Roman Catholic Priest F.A. Zettler in Chepstow, Ontario on January 23, 1906. Witnesses to their wedding were Henricus Fritz of Mt. Carmel, ND and Magdalena Klein of Chepstow, ON. Peter and Kate then moved to Wales, North Dakota, where Peter did carpenter work.
John moved in 1907 near Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, where he filed on a homestead five and a half miles southeast of Shaunavon, known 4 years later as Anglo School District #516. One of the signators of a Declaration to organize this School District was signed by Peter S. Fritz.
In 1909 Kate moved from North Dakota with children Andrew and Marie. They came by train via Moose Jaw to Gull Lake. Peter had shipped a carload of machinery, household furniture, three horses, one cow and some chickens. Our farm was 38 miles from Gull Lake, Sask. Until the railroad came in 1913, everything had to be hauled from Gull Lake, a 3-day trip. Peter built a two room house where they lived in until 1917, then moved into a two story house which Peter had built. He also built a big hip-roofed barn made of sod. He had his blacksmith forge in a front stall. They had no drinking water and Peter had to haul it from a spring about three times a week. Peter would hitch his horse "Bill" to a stone boat, which had two barrels, with wash tubs for lids. Kate (41 years old) passed away on December 2, 1922. Marie, age 13, looked after the family of 8 for six years until she married. In 1924 the barn burned and Peter built another. Peter passed away in March 1941, and son Andrew took over the farm in 1934 until December 1971 when he sold it to his son Philip and daughter-in-law Sheila.
Daughters Rita, Emma and Leona Fritz attended Anglo School in 1929 (photos of their class of 1929 can be found in the book Quarter Stake Echoes. [3]
