  Biography	Aft 24 Oct 1959
  BIOGRAPHIE: Frank X. Pritzl (1874-1959) by Rev. John Pritzl Frank X. Pritzl was born November 23, 1874, baptized November 29, 1874 in St. Ann's Church, Francis Creek, Wisconsin. Frank became a cheese maker. He bought a cheese factory between Thorp and Stanley, about 2-3 miles southwest of Thorp. The address was Stanley Wis. Rural Route, but the family belonged to St. Bernards Parish in Thorp. He married Mary Meidl in 1899. Mary, born October 4, 1876, was the daughter of Blasius Meidl and Maggie Weber. The Meidl farm was near Whitelaw Wis. All five children, Mayme, Frank, Louise, John and Arnold, were born while they lived at R.F.D. Stanley. The cheese factory and home were built in 1889 and the home still stands and is inhabited (1985). A new cheese factory was built across the road years later and the original factory was converted into a tavern, which burned down. A new tavern was built in its place. Because of his wife's health (tuberculosis), Frank sold his property and moved to Helena, Montana, arriving there April 9th, 1910. He had planned to take up a homestead out there but his wife was admitted to the hospital on April 15th, where she died the 27th April, 1910. Frank returned to Wisconsin with a corpse and five small children. Toward the end of 1910, Frank X. and his brother Charles bought the Koch Brothers Hardware business in Brillion, Wisconsin. Son Frank Jr., died in St. Elizabeth Hospital, Appleton, Wisconsin on July 4, 1913. He would have been 12 on Aug. 1st. Frank X. married a widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Melbinger Ziehr at Thorp in 1913. She died in St. Joseph Hospital, Marshfield, Wisconsin, on April 12, 1939. Peter and Elizabeth Ziehr had adopted a daughter, Regina, who became part of the family but retained the name Ziehr. At the end of 1919, Frank X. sold his interest in the Brillion hardware business to a younger brother, Adolf, and the family moved to Marshfield. After looking around for two years to enter another business venture, Frank X. bought an unoccupied business building on North Central Avenue in Marshfield and stocked it with hardware. The building had previously been Keels photography store with a skylight and photo display windows at the front of the store. This is the origin of the Pritzl Hardware store in Marshfield. Later this business was shared with his son, Arnold, who, later shared it with his son Gerald, now the sole owner. Frank X. died in St. Vincent Hospital, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 22 Oct. 1959. He had spent the last few years of his life at McCormick Memorial Home, Green Bay, Wisconsin. His brother Anton and his sister Louise also were at the McCormick Memorial Home before their deaths. Frank X. was buried next to his first wife Mary in the parish cemetery at Whitelaw. Mary had preceded him in death by 49 years. The funeral Mass was by his son Reverend John Pritzl in St. John's Church, Marshfield, Wisconsin.
