Description
Marotz Family stands in front of their saltbox style home located on Clinton River Rd., in winter. Aunt Lena Fischer, Tillie (1894 - 1989), Minnie (1871 - 1956), Lillian (1898 - 1979), August Jr. (1899 - 1979), August Sr. (1867 - 1950), and Otto (1892 - 1984). This home was close to the road, and the family built a new house in 1915 farther back. The wood from this house was used to build the garage for the newer home, which still stands in 2004.
