Lawrence G. Froehly, My Great Uncle...8/11/1899-5/24/1912

Lawrence G. Froehly was the youngest son of Alfred & Lena. Joseph was his brother and Mary and Clara were his sisters. He lived to be 12 years, 9 months, and 13 days old and then his life was cut short due to an accidental drowning along with his father, Alfred. Lawrence and Alfred lived close to the river and they went fishing on the evening of May 24, 1912. They were both pulled from the river at about 10 p.m.

Lawrence was born in Pennsylvania and moved to St. Louis, Missouri when he was just an infant. More than likely the family took the train from Pittsburgh to St. Louis as they were city people and this was the main type of cross country transportation at the time.

Lawrence was a scholar and his former residence is given as 3859 Kosciusko St. The location is very close to the river. The closest main intersection is Chippewa St. and South Broadway in south St. Louis.

The file # of the Lawrence's death certificate is 19017. His father, Alfred's death certificate is 19016.
