| 2692 | Anna married a Tobias Witmer, and had fourteen children. Tobias contributed to the information in the FRICK Bio. in George Prowell's book. Anna Frick Whitmer (from published story by son Christian F. WHITMER), was born May 18, 1819, the only child of Christian FRICK and Elizabeth LONG FRICK, Their first farm was on a farm of several hundred acres at Skinnersville what is known now as Wolf's Mills, in the town of Amherst, Erie County, NY. Which was purchased by her grandfather (CHRISTIAN H> FRICK) about the year 1807. When she was about five years old the family moved to another farm purchased by Mr. Frick of the Holland Land Co. and situated on the south side of now what is known as Main St., about two miles west of Williamsville. This is where she married Tobias Witmer and raised her five sons and nine daughters, the farm is now know as Audubon Terrace South. At the time of her death 11 of the 14 children are still living. INTERESTING SKETCH OF HER LIFE. Mrs. Anna Witmer, daughter and only child of CHRISTIAN FRICK and ELIZABETH LONG, and widow of TOBIAS WIITMER (who died Aug. 14, 1897), was born at Skinnersville, now commonly known as Wolfs Mill, in the town of AMHERST, Erie County, NY., May 18, 1819, and died at the Witmer homestead where she had lived for eighty-five consecutive years, Sept. 14, 1908. About the year 1828, her father purchased of the Holland Land Company by "Article," 136 acres on the south side of Main Street, two miles west of Williamsville, the present WITMER homestead; and moved there with his family. The premises were at that time mostly dense forest which was being slashed, burned or being converted into charcoal; and the subject of this sketch spent many a day in childhood making miniature charcoal pits within sight of what is now Main Street, but at which time was a corduroy road made over a swampy ground. Her father built the house in which she lived for 85 years, in which she was married , as were all her daughters; and which her parents, two of her daughters, her husband and she herself died. In this house also in 1887 was celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of her marriage in the presence of a large company of friends, relatives, children, grand-children of whom there were twenty three living then, and among the guest a number of those present at her marriage fifty years ago , including the original bridesmaid and groomsman. She was married November 16, 1887. Her husband TOBIAS WITMER, was born in the town of Niagara, about 3 1/2 miles northeast of the falls. His father Abraham WITMER, emigrated from Pennsylvania and built the house, still standing, where his family was born and reared. Tobias WITMER was a civil engineer, always actively employed. When the call came for volunteers to defend the Union, Mr. Witmer and his eldest son Christian F. WITMER responded and went to the front in the engineering service and continued until the restoration of peace. During their absence Mrs. Witmer evidenced her patience by sustaining for three years the burdens of management of the household and farm, and the same day they were taking part in the battle of Fredericksburg, her daughter Clara was born and received the second name of Fredericka in honor of that event. Mrs. WITMER was eminently a home keeper. The achievements of her life were all comprised within the realm where woman is divinely ordained to reign. She was the mother of an unusually large family, all of whom were brought up under her wise training to be honorable and useful members of society. She was noted for her unvaryingly even temper, cheerful disposition, good sense, charity and hospitality. She was always hopeful and courageous, looking on the bright side and seeing the best instead of the worst. | FRICK, Anna Long (I10225)

| 2693 | Anna married Stanley LeFevre Krebs on September 17, 1890 at First Reformed Church, Lancaster, PA. Stanley's father, Walter E. Krebs performed the ceremony, assisted by the local pastor. Four children: Katharine (1891-1892). Buried in Mt.Carmel cemetery, Littlestown, PA Stanley Walter (1896-1984) music composer Anna Belle (ca. 1903- ) Josephine (ca. 1906- ) dance instructor Stanley was pastor of St. Andrew's Reformed Church, Reading, PA 1890-1901. Dec. 1899 Anna makes the newspapers because she announced she would run for public office, even though women did not have the right to vote! Sort of a school board position. Later she denied that she would run. Stanley and family moved to First Church, Greensburg, PA 1901-1906 Then he took a series of secular positions. He ended up as a Chautauqua lecturer. He was a spell binding speaker. He met Marjorie Main (best known for her Ma Kettle movies) in 1913 on the Chautauqua curcuit. In 1920 Stanley and Anna were living in the Bronx, NY. Anna was running a boarding house. Stanley's father was living with them as well as the three children. Some time in late 1920 or early 1921 Stanley and Anna were divorced. Stanley married Marjorie Main on November 2, 1921. He was 57 and she was 31. They mostly lived in hotels in New York City. [THIS IS THE NEW INFO.] In 1930 Anna was living in an apartment on Riverside Drive, NYC with son Stanley and daughter Josephine. Anna and Josephine had changed their names to Frantz, Anna's maiden name. It must have been a messy divorce. DO YOU WHAT BECAME OF ANNA? Stanley died in 1935 and was buried in Littlestown, PA. My hometown. Let me know if this info is helpful. Ken Sell at ksell@northstate.net | FRANTZ, Anna (I13125)
