- Burial information, as given, is when he was cremated. Cremation was done under the direction of CC Van Emburgh, Inc, the funeral home in Ridgewood. It was done at Cedar Lawn Crematory in Paterson, NJ, and his remains went to the family niche in Rosehill Crematory and Cemetary, Route 25, Linden, NJ.
Death certificate was signed by Dr Cornelius F Ivory, 381 Spring Ave, Ridgewood, New Jersey. Dr Ivory had been the family's physician since the mid 1950s.
Named for both his parents. His father was called Fred, and his mother was Christina.
Lived with his son and daughter-in-law for the last 15 years of his life.
Called Uncle Fritz by his grand niece, Elanore.
According to the original marriage certificate, the witnesses to the marriage were Clara Lindberg, his wife's sister, and J. Henry (or Harry) Walpern. The handwriting is not clear. Dr Jacob W. Lorh, pastor of the German Evangelican Church (possibly Leherwerhorn St), Brooklyn, NY, performed the marriage. I have made the best interpretation of the handwriting that I could, but spellings could be quite different from what I've typed. The envelope says "Certificate of Marriage for Mr. & Mrs. Frederick C. Droste (Lindberg)."
name in Hannover, Prussia, Germany was Dröste
