456     HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY



George W. Kriedler, a prosperous farmer of Marysville township, was born 

in Butler, Pa., February 6, 1843, son of Daniel and Mary M. (McColough) 

Kriedler. He lost his mother when a very small boy. In 1859 he was 

brought to Wright county by his father and stepmother, and helped in 

clearing up and developing the homestead. His education was meagre, but 

this he has supplemented with wide reading and close observation. August 

22, 1862, he enlisted in Company E, Eighth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry,

and served until discharged at Charlotte, N. C., July 11, 1865. After his 

return from the war he located on eighty acres in section 30, Franklin 

township. This was all wild land. He cleared the land, erected a log 

cabin and established for himself a home in the wilderness. In time he 

bought land until he owned 178 1/2 acres. He erected a brick veneered 

home and roomy barns, and equipped his farm with the best tools and 

implements. Mr. Kriedler is a prominent man in the community. For some 

years he has been a member of the school board. 

He is a charter member of Montrose Lodge, No. 185, I.O.O.F., and also a 

member of the G.A.R. On October 29, 1911, Mr. and Mrs. Kriedler retired 

and moved to Montrose, where they now reside. George W. Kriedler was 

married, November 1, 1866, to Margaretha Stoltz, born in Bavaria, Germany, 

February 10, 1847, daughter of Joseph and Catherine (Stephanie) Kriedler. 

Mr. and Mrs. Kriedler have had five children: Wilhelmina, born September 

13, 1867; Lettie May, born March 12, 1870 (died January 8, 1879) ; 

Arthur Stoltz, born January 20, 1872; Gertrude Agatha, born June 19,
