Report No. 1567

Albert Freitag.
June 4, 1880-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House and ordered to be printed

Mr. Barber, from the Committee on Claims, submitted the following
REPORT:
[To accompany bill H.R. 1151.]

The committee on Claims, to whom was referred the bill (H.R. 1151) for the relief of Albert Freitag, have had the same under consideration, and respectfully report:

That the claimant, Albert Freitag, is a resident of Nicollet, Nicollet County, State of Minnesota, and resided there during the year 1862.

The testimony of Mr. Freitag shows that on the 25th day of August, 1862, he was on his way to Saint Peter, in said Nicollet County; that at the time he owned and was driving a span of gray horses, three years old; that said span of horses were in good condition; that while driving he was met by Capt. E. St. Julien Cox, who had command of a company, marching to the relief of New Ulm, which was at that time besieged by hostile Indians of the Sioux Nation or tribe. Captain Cox as an officer iin command of State forces, took from the claimant his team, and pressed the same into service of the volunteers he was then leading against the Indians; that Cox gave claimant a voucher or certificate, setting forth that his team had been taken for the use of the volunteers in the defense of New Ulm. In two weeks from the time said team was taken, claimant found them at Saint Peter, reduced in flesh, saddle-galled, and so poor that they could not be used until sometime in the winter; that in consequence thereof he was compelled to hire a team to do his fall plowing. The claimant testifies that the voucher given him by Captain Cox was burned up with his father's house, and for a long time he thought he could not collect any compensation because he had lost the voucher. He has, however, furnished a certificate from Captain Cox, who is now judge of the ninth judicial district of Minnesota, certifying that he took the horses belonging to Mr. Freitag for the use of the volunteers he was in command of. The claimant has also produced a certificate from ten of his neighbors who were well acquainted with him at the time the horses were taken, and who state they believe the facts to be true as stated, and the use of the property with the amount claimed.

Your committee are of the the opinion that the facts as stated by the claimant are true, and that he is entitled to relief in the sum of $65. They therefore recommend that the bill be amended by inserting said amount and put upon its passage.

About a week ago one of the horses made its escape from the pasture and found its way back to the Nicollet farm, some forty miles distant. The horse unassisted let down the bars, opened the stable door and was found in the morning in its old accustomed stall. Some sagacity about the animal surely.

Last Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock as Herman Feitag(sic) was walking on the railroad track, on his way from town to his home one mile east, he was overtaken and run over by an outgoing freight train running at high speed. The trainmen saw the accident and they stopped as soon as possible and went back to where the man was lying, picked him up and brought him back to town. It was found that the train had passed over an arm and a leg. The unfortunate man was taken to the hospital at Brainerd on the 11 o'clock passenger train, and there his injured limbs were amputated and everything possible done to save his life, but he died on Sunday. The remains were brought to Aitkin Monday, and the funeral services were held in the afternoon.

Mr. Freitag was an old soldier, about 54 years old, and leaves a wife and five children. He came here with his family from near Mankato about a year ago. He is somewhat deaf, which possibly is the reason he did not hear the train.

Accident:
A serious runaway accident occurred near Nicollet station last Friday. Fr. Freitag's hired man was returning from a neighboring field with a spirited team, and beside him on the wagon seat was seated the four-year-old child of Mr. Freitag, who had been visiting at a neighbor's. Arriving at the pasture, the man jumped out to open the gate and before he could regain the lines the horses started into a brisk run toward the house. Mr. C. Freitag, aged 70 years, was in the yard at the time and when the runaways came near him he endeavored to stop them with his cane. His effort only resulted in turning them short around, one of the horses running over him, at the same time upsetting the wagon. The old gentleman was very seriously injured about the head and chest, and the child received a terrible gash on the side of the face and neck, and for a time it was feared the former was fatally hurt. Dr. Daniels of St. Peter was called and at latest accounts both the old gentleman and child were improving. Mr. Albert Freitag, of this city, was informed of the accident by special messenger and he at once went down to assist in caring for the injured.

Paul Freitag

While the question of nationality is one that is rapidly becoming of minor importance in this country, owing to the liberal laws and equal opportunity offered to anyone of honest intent and industrious habit, yet the uniformity with with those of Germany birth or descent make good, as the saying is, in the United States, has for long been a noticeable fact, universally recognized by sociologists and students of racial distinctions. "Blood will tell" is a saying that has generally been used in connection with the idea that aristocratic birth endows the subject with superior qualities and, as a consequence, has not been accepted favorably in this republican country. Applied, however, to nations, regardless of doubt ut that there are certain broad mental, physical and moral characteristics which must be recognized as establishing well marked lines between people of different racial extraction. Paul Freitag, of Max, possessed at birth the undoubted advantage of good, old German parentage, and his own life history still further compels the belief that after all there is a great deal in the force of heredity in shaping our individual fortunes in life's battles.

Paul Freitag was born in Nicollet, Minn., on July 16, 1873. His father, Albert Freitag, was a native of Germany and came to this country in time to participate in the Civil war, and is still living on a farm near Max. His mother was also of German birth but died in Minnesota before the family moved to North Dakota. The grand parents came to Minnesota in 1860.

Paul's education was acquired in the common schools of New Ulm, Minn., the German city of that state, and his boyhood and early manhood were spent on a farm in the vicinity of that city. In 1894, he moved to Clarksville, Iowa, where he remained until 1901, in which year he took up a homestead near the present town of Max in North Dakota. In Iowa he was engaged in the mercantile business as agent for the Plano Harvester Company as traveling salesman. At Max he engaged in the general merchandise business under the name of Freitag & Freitag, and has already built up a lucrative and substantial connection.

In the fall of 1898, he married Miss Lenora Wallath, of Clarksville, Iowa, and two children have been born to them, Max, age 10 years, after whom the town of Max was named, and Howard, age 2 years.

Mr. Freitag is a member of the Masonic fraternity and is a Lutheran by religion.

He is the owner of 320 acres near Max, which is yearly increasing in value. The postoffice is located in the store building of the firm, which was the first to engage in the general merchandise business in Max, and Mr. Freitag was the first postmaster when the postofice was on his homestead. He still holds the office.

Mr. Freitag is personally an affable and popular man, an exemplary citizen, and a business man of shrewdness and ability.

Pioneer Rest Cemetery There is a grave marker in Plot [18-2] that gives her date of birth 1877 date of death 1923 ossw. Fred T. Sr. In that plot as well there is a marker that says Ida Freitag Jonas bur. 10 -22-1956


The story has been told by Ida's son Frederick William that Ida died after being kicked by a horse. He stated he was standing next to his mother when she was kicked. Fred T., Frederick William's father blamed him for the accident. Frederick William was forced to quit school in order to take care of his younger siblings.

In 1956, Ida's son Harry, drove to Minnesota to gather the remains of Ida and bring them back to Wisconsin. It has been told by her granddaughter (Elaine Jonas Chaloupka) that the remains fit inside a shoe box. There is conflicting stories as to why the body was disinterred and moved to Two Rivers. Some say it was because a Highway was being reconstructed in Morton, over the cemetery grounds. An old timer from the area, stated the cemetery Ida was buried in was not affected by the construction. But she was moved anyway. Ida was re-buried in Pioneer Rest Cemetery Two Rivers.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Accident: May 1885, Nicollet, Minnesota, United States

Notes:

Accident:
A serious runaway accident occurred near Nicollet station last Friday. Fr. Freitag's hired man was returning from a neighboring field with a spirited team, and beside him on the wagon seat was seated the four-year-old child of Mr. Freitag, who had been visiting at a neighbor's. Arriving at the pasture, the man jumped out to open the gate and before he could regain the lines the horses started into a brisk run toward the house. Mr. C. Freitag, aged 70 years, was in the yard at the time and when the runaways came near him he endeavored to stop them with his cane. His effort only resulted in turning them short around, one of the horses running over him, at the same time upsetting the wagon. The old gentleman was very seriously injured about the head and chest, and the child received a terrible gash on the side of the face and neck, and for a time it was feared the former was fatally hurt. Dr. Daniels of St. Peter was called and at latest accounts both the old gentleman and child were improving. Mr. Albert Freitag, of this city, was informed of the accident by special messenger and he at once went down to assist in caring for the injured.
