Koetteritz, John B., Dolgeville, was born in Prussia, Germany, September 14, 
1853.  He was educated in the military schools of that country, and served as 
an ensign in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.  In 1872 he became second 
lieutenant and was stationed for seven years at Alsace-Lorraine, the provinces 
taken from France.  In 1879 he came to American and has since been engaged in 
State and private service as civil engineer and surveyor.  Mr. Koetteritz 
married Carrie Brockett, and they have two children:  Lena, aged ten years, 
and Burt aged six.  Lieutenant Koetteritz is one of the best informed and

Adirondack region a specialty.  His large map of the Adirondacks is used by
