Anna Beal Fries/Frees v Henry Fries/Frees (Journal 12 p436 - 22 Dec 1884, Journal 13 p85 - 27 Feb 1885; p188 - 26 June 1885; Roll 41 case number 1385 - 8 Nov 1884 and 1455)
By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 30 December 2021)
The couple was married on 10 June 1873, Defiance Co, OH.
There was a marriage in Williams Co, OH on 30 May 1848 for Henry Freezer and Nancy Donor/Dohner. In the 1850 Farmer, Defiance Co, OH Federal Census there is a Frieze family as Henry 30 Germany, Nancy 27 Canada, John 3 OH, Christina 5/12 OH and Sarah Marley 2 OH. The family continues in the 1860 Washington Twp, Defiance Co, OH listing as H Freese 33 Germany, Nancy 33 PA, John 12 OH, Sarah 11 OH, Christian 9 OH, Mary 7 OH, and George 2. In the 1870 Washington Twp, Defiance Co, OH the listing is Fease, Henry 54 FR, Christian 20 OH, Florence 18, Sarah 22, Harmon 4, Mary 17, and Anna 6. I presume Nancy has passed away, so by 1873 Henry married Anna.
In the 1880 Center Twp, Wms Co, OH federal census p598, the Freas family was enumerated as Henry 60 GERM, Anna 50 WURT, Herman 14 OH, and Charles B 11 OH. In June 1885 Anna charged her husband with being a habitual drunk for three years and more. She was later granted a divorce and a strip of land in Center Twp containing 25 acres.
Henry’s obit in The Defiance Democrat (Defiance, OH), 6 January 1898, p7 c3-4 stated that Henry was born 15 October 1820 in Baden, Germany. His wife had died some years ago. He passed away on 27 December 1897 and was buried in the Lintz Cemetery. Nothing more is currently known of Anna Beal Fries.
