Alva Tritch, 1874-1909, son of George and Catharine (Siedel) Tritch, burried at Wright
cemetery in Steuben co. IN.------
I found an article in the Fort Wayne Sentinel, Feb. 18, 1909; it read as follows: The
Lagrange county grand jury has returned indictments against Joseph Barcellona, Joseph
Grippi and Frank Amorello, three Italian laborers at the Stroh cement works, who are
charged with the recent murder of Alva Tritch. Tritch was stabbed when he resented the
presence of the Italian laborers at a dance given by the young people at Elmira, in
Lagrange county. The cases will be tried at the April term of court.
I am looking for any information on this family member, the Stroh cement works, and the
case in Elmira. How may I obtain newspaper data, or any other essential info. Thankyou.
