The life of Edward Maertz (1917-1985)
This mini-biography is of my grandfather, Edward Maertz. He was born to Russian-German immigrants Peter Maertz and Marie Demler in Wisconsin in 1917. He served stateside in WWII and had five daughters who were born between 1936 and 1959. But there is more to his story that even some of the family didn’t know until he was gone.
