Frederick Gross Kurtz 1873-1948

 William (b1848) and Ruth Steveson Kurtz(b 1849) gave their son Fred(b1873) a gold watch as a 21st birthday gift. It has been a great motivation for me to find out all I can about those who came before me. I hope that my posts about the family show that they were just regular people like you and I living through sometimes extraordinary circumstances.You may not have ever heard of them until you read one of my posts but when you do, you may realize how amazing it is that these people are part of why you are here and maybe they will inspire you to be as strong as they were.
