Fred E Renner m. Mary (Mame) Wilma Maertz in New Prague 12 Oct 1910.

Fred was born in Portage WI 16 Dec 1884 to Paul and Wilhelmine Ahrens Renner. Mary Maertz was born in LeSeuer county, possibly in or near Heidelburg Village 24 Oct 1885. Fred and Mary had two children: Eleanor Annette and Allen Francis. They lived in New Prague for the remainder of their lives. Fred passed away 22 Jul 1972 and Mary 06 Dec 1974. Mary's father, Frank Joseph Maertz, was a merchant and business owner in New Prague. He owned a saloon and a dry goods store on Main St near the railroad tracks. Mary and her siblings helped out in their father's businesses. Fred, who worked for the railroad as a telegrapher in the depot building between the tracks and the saloon, obviously met Mary while they were working so close to each other. Mary's mother, Mary A Proshek, was the daughter of Anton and Catherine Proshek. The Renner/Maertz family has connections to other New Prague families like Soukup, Pany, Joach, Shimota, Horazdovsky, Mikiska, and Bastyr.
