Elizabeth Fraundorf1

b. 21 December 1890, d. 19 January 1970
Family
Father*Frank Fraundorf2,3 b. May 1863
Mother*Valeska Fleischer2,3 b. Feb 1870
Birth*21 December 1890Elizabeth Fraundorf was probably born on 21 December 1890 in Ohio.2,4,5 
Name VariationShe was called Lizzie.2 
Marriage*7 October 1909She married first Alfred Ward, son of Charles Ward and Ida Franz, on 7 October 1909 in Brecksville, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. They were married by the Reverend Paul Fox.6,7,8,9,10 
Census US 1910*30 April 1910Elizabeth and Alfred E. Ward were enumerated on the 1910 census taken on 30 April 1910 on 2546 W. 25th Street, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Alfred was 22 years of age, had immigrated from Canada in 1896, was not yet naturalized, and worked for wages as a Teamster in the Grocery Industry. Elizabeth was 19 years old. They rented their home, had been married for less than a year, the first marriage for each, and Elizabeth had given birth to no children. A boarder, Gustav Wagenhoffer, was also enumerated with them in 1910. He was 20 years old, single, and worked for wages as a Teamster in the Roofing Industry.6 
Census US 1920*3 January 1920Elizabeth and Alfred Ward were enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 3 January 1920 at 3121 Meyer Avenue, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Alfred was 31 years of age, a naturalized citizen of the United States, and worked for wages as a roofer in the Building Trade. Elizabeth was 29 years of age. They rented their home, and their two sons were enumerated with them in 1920. William and Elmer, ages 9 and 6 years, respectively, had both attended school within the census year. A boarder, Gustav Wagenhoffer, was also enumerated with the Ward family in 1920. He was 29 years of age, had been born in Bohemia, had immigrated to the United States in 1910, and had submitted his papers for citizenship. He was able to read and write, and to speak English, and worked for wages as a driver in the Trucking Industry.7 
Divorce*1920Elizabeth (Fraundorf) Ward and Alfred Ward were divorced, probably in 1920, and not in 1919 as was recorded in 1929 on her license to marry a second time. Our reason for this conclusion is that Elizabeth and Alfred were enumerated together, and reported as married, on the 1920 census taken on 3 January 1920.3,7 
Marriage*1 January 1929She married second, as his second wife, Gustav Wagenhoffer on 1 January 1929 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.11,9,3 
Census US 1930*7 April 1930Elizabeth and Gustav Wagenhoffer were enumerated on the 1930 census taken on 7 April 1930 at 4413 Bader, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Gustav was 40 years of age, his place of birth was reported as New York, and his age at his first marriage was reported as 39, although he was actually 31. He was 39 years of age when he and his first wife divorced. He worked as a Trucker in the Trucking Industry on his own account. Elizabeth was 39 years of age and reported she had been 18 years old at her first marriage. They owned their house which was valued at $6,800, and Elizabeth's two sons from her first marriage were enumerated with them. William and Elmer Ward were ages 19 and 16 years, respectively. William worked for wages as a Machinist Helper in a Machine Manufacturing Company, and Elmer worked for wages as a Printer Apprentice in a Printing business. However, both boys reported being unemployed, and not working at the time the census was taken. A lodger, Viola Bigam was also enumerated in the Wagenhoffer household in 1930. She was 39 years of age, had been born in Ohio, was married, had been 19 years old at her first marriage, and worked for wages as a clerk in a store.12 
(Wife) Death2 August 1957Elizabeth became a widow when Gustav Wagenhoffer died on 2 August 1957 at age 67.11 
Death*19 January 1970She died on 19 January 1970 at age 799 
Burial* and was buried with her second husband in the Hawthorne Section of Brooklyn Heights Cemetery, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio.9,11

Ann Freebury

b. circa 1648
Family
Birth*circa 1648 Ann, whose maiden name is not known, was an 'eastern woman', meaning from Maine, probably driven away by the Indian Wars; she was born about 1648 according to her own deposition. 
Marriage*before 1696She married Ferdinando Thayer before 1696.

She was probably the widow of either Nicholas Freeby whom Savage mentions as being at Casco about 1680, or of Richard Friebury Sr. who was taxed at Pemaquid in 1687 (NEHG Register Volume 32, page 314). No record of her marriage or death has been found except in the court records at Boston which contain much information about her life in Mendon and her violent domestic quarrels with Ferdinando Thayer and his sons to whom he deeded his property, partly at least to prevent her from acquiring it. (Records of Supreme Court of Judicature #4657,4845,4703,4727, Suffolk County Courthouse, Boston).

Ann Freeberry (or Freebury) was an 'eastern woman', meaning from Maine, who had probably been driven away by the Indian Wars. 
DivorceAnn Freebury and Ferdinando Thayer were divorced.

It was not a happy marriage. According to court documents, Ferdinando’s domestic troubles began as early as July 1696 when Ann Thear, aged 48 years, was deposed in court. (Records of Supreme Court of Judicature #4342). She testified that she saw Ebenezer Thear sell two quarts of sider to an Indian.

She departed from Ferdinando Thayer after 1700, when he made an agreement 'to be shaft of her' after she testified he and his sons sold liquor to the Indians and that he had deserved to have his house burnt by the Indians during the War and that it would occur again if he did not stop trafficking with them; that he had tried to starve her by not providing food in the house, etc.

On May 7,1700 Ferdinando Thear complained of “the wild words, carriages and actions of my wicked disposed and perverse wife Ann Thear, formally an Eastern woman, and until my unhappy marriage with her known by the name of Ann Freeberry who hath been endeavoring to ruinate me in respect to my person, name, and estate either by fire in burning my house over my head as she hath lately threatened in so much that I am afraid to live with her”, etc., “and that none of my children durst live with me, and I am unable to help myself being almost 80 years old, and by reason of her private conveying of things out of the house my house is left almost destitute of outwards comforts”, etc. Depositions were also made by Ebenezer Thayer aged 26, and Martha his wife aged 25, and Benjamin Thayer aged 20, William Howard aged 32, John Rocket aged 59, John Bridges aged 52, and Peter Holbrook aged 41. (Records of Supreme Court of Judicature #4657, 4845, 4703, and 4727 in Suffolk County Courthouse, Boston.)
