Message Board Post:
I am looking for help tracking down ancestors and descendants of Albert Adolf STITZ (b
3/13/1876, Indiana), raised in the rural Tippecanoe County, Indiana area. I believe his
parents were Adolph Rudolf (?) and Elizabeth (maiden?) STITZ, both of whom emigrated from
Germany. At this time I do not know what year they made their voyage to the United
States, before eventually settling in Indiana.
Adolf and Elizabeth had six sons between 1860-1876, Fredrick, Rudolf, William, Fedelof,
Lewis, and Albert Adolf.
Albert Adolf STITZ married Theresa E LORENZEN (b ~1878, Illinois) on 11 June, 1899 in Cook
County, Illinois. The couple lived in Iowa and Illinois before eventually settling in the
Everett area of Snohomish County, Washington. They had at least two daughters, Edna E
(~1902, Iowa), and Fern Viola (6/2/1906, Illinois), and a son Everett Lorenzen (3/14/1910,
WA).
Fern Viola STITZ married Paul Franklin BERRY (10/17/1904, Missouri), year unknown. The
couple lived in Everett, WA and raised three children, Alice (b 12/16/1926), Elizabeth
"Betty" (b 8/6/1928), and Charles Everett (b 5/29/1930).
