NOTES: A Ritter is a Knight so these guys are all members of the Catholic Knights or the Knights of Columbus. Also, in the picture, you can see all the guys wearing big ribbons. I have one of these ribbons. I found it in the house when we cleaned it out after my mother died. It probably belonged to my Grandfather William Paul Friedel. It is from the St. Joseph's Society but it is printed "St. Joseph's Unterstuetzungs Verein, Fond du Lac, Wis." The Society was a private, church run, insurance group that paid a death benefit to survivors. I have a copy of the constitution and bylaws of this group. It is in both German and English. The German title roughly translates to "St. Joseph's Benevolence Society."
