My godmother was Mrs. Ehrlich (Aunt Nora). My mother was Mata Frederickson, and she just died 3/3/08 at 93.My mom told me that her father lost the large farm where all the children grew up in north lake during the depression, Richard suffered an acute appendicitis and died enroute to the hospital. Grandma Wrensch could not manage the farm so she moved to Oconomowoc with my mom and Aunt Liz. Aunt Nora, Uncle Wally, and Uncle Ernir were children from Grandpa Wrensch's first marriage. His first wife died in a barn accident and she was pregnant at the time. I have their wedding picture. I can tell you a great deal more, and would love to. I don't want the oral history to die. Aunt Nora was a wonderful lady.
