Narrative

William and Mary Diedrich's 60th anniversary was noted in the Waukesha Daily Freeman, 10 Nov 1954.

Narrative

Was granted US patent #1178139 for a unique looking fly-swatter.; also US patent #1036583 for sash locks.

Narrative

A public Ancestry.com tree (owner "melindabublitz") gives his name as William John instead of William Joseph. Additionally, most of the Ancestry trees give his birthplace as Germany, though they seem to be citing early census records (reported on by his father) when doing so.
