Family and friends called Frederick Roeske "Fred". His wife's obit states that he was a native of Schwetckow Germany. At first I thought Fred's first name was William, but I noticed in his daughter, Clara's obituary that he was named as Frederick E. Roeske. He is Frederick on his Naturalization Papers & Frederick in his wife's obituary.
