Mary Anna (Gerken) Fritz (1882-1925) was a daughter of Henry and Anna (Winter) Gerken, my great-grandparents, and a sister to my grandfather Ewald Gerken. She married Joseph Fritz, and they lived at Adrian, Minnesota, and then at Cresco, Iowa. Click here to read about Joseph and Mary Anna (Gerken) Fritz   T.L.
