FRITZLER -- EDLUND PHOTO PROJECT
The following photos are from the Fritzler - Edlund family of Wasilla, Alaska.
All were taken pre-1950 (some much earlier than that).
The Edlund family came to the Matanuska Valley in 1914.
Edlund Road is named after this family.
Mark Fritzler, Gloryjean Fritzler and George Hanson were kind
enough to send me the following photos
with hopes of identifying these early Matanuska Valley faces.
Please feel free to share this link with anyone you think might
be able to contribute names to these photos. If you would like
to help, please contact me at:
[email protected]
Some of the following photos appear "fuzzy", but, with the small
photos that I have, I had to choose between "clearer but smaller" photos,
and "fuzzy but larger" photos. I went for the larger photos with hopes
that someone might see something in the photo that would help them
identify a face. I will post high resolution photos when I get them.

and the girl on far right might be Ann Snider (?)
Carol Carney thinks the girl farthest left is Ann Snider
and the girl in the middle is Pat Snider and the larger boy is Peter Snider (?)

wrong and doesn't match school photos (?)

PHOTOGRAPH #12
Note from Coleen: The writing on this photo confuses me. Bottom-center (almost out of the picture) it says Wasilla School. To either side of that is 1917 Class and 1925 Class. There was no "Class of 1917" in Wasilla. The School wasn't even built until November of 1917, so that first class would have (technically) be the Class of 1918 (?) I'm guessing this photo was mis-labeled at a later date (?)

Fritzler Wilson wrote: "George Edlund on
left and his brother Monty Edlund on the right. They
were building on George's house on Knik Road 1950.
Of the 20 acres dad bought from Sharon Fleckenstein
in 1949, two of the acres were on the north side of Knik Road.
Dad deeded one acre to Uncle George and the other acre
to Lila and Virgil Hanson. George built and lived on
his acre until his death. After his death, his daughter Alice
moved up from California and moved into George's place. The Hanson's
never did anything with their one acre and in the late 1960's
or early 1970's, Lila deeded it back to Carl and Vicky [Fritzler].
About 1970, Carl cleared a small portion of ground and moved a small
building onto the property and Mark moved into that, so that was
Mark's first home."

Oscar Anderson's house in the background "Shorty"
Emil Gustafson's house in the foreground Today, they
would sit on either wide of Seward Meridian Road
near Sears and the old camper park, but close to the
road (info from Gloryjean Fritzler Wilson).
"Dad told me that Shorty and my grandfather [Oscar] Anderson, hand dug a well on the property line between the two cabins, 80' down, and did not get any water. So, Shorty took his cabin apart and pulled it to Wasilla with some draft horses. Oscar took his cabin apart and pulled it over to the edge of the hill across from the car dealership where it is now. Then, Oscar dug a road down the hillside to the bottom of the hill and dug another well down there, 15' down, and hit water. I think it was just surface water, but he carried two buckets of water up the hill every day. Oscar's old cabin is what my father built his milking parlor out of. He just finished the outside and inside and that's why the walls were 2' thick, then, he added the milking parlor onto the back side of the cabin. He put the bulk tank and the pump equipment in the cabin part. I always wondered why the walls were 2' thick there. When we were on the farm, it was my job to throw the dead calves down the well, so every time you drive up Seward Meridian, you're driving over about 20 dead calves, 80' down. Mom was always scared I was going to fall in and made dad cover it up every time.

Note from Coleen Mielke: Mark Fritzler told me that LeRoi Heaven got a grant to rebuild the old school (which was in very bad shape, see photo #44) in about 1983. LeRoi and a team of volunteers rebuilt the old school and hoped to keep it in its original location, however vandals discovered the building and broke windows and doors.
Mark said he is "on a mission" to get the historic building moved to a permanent and safer place.
He has managed to get the curator of the Wasilla Museum, the President of the Historical Society and the Wasilla Mayor all interested in moving the old school house as soon as a location is secured. Mark says, "I will be very happy when it is in a safe place and can last another 100 years". Thank you Mark!!

Monty Edlund, Joe Fleckenstein, Gloryjean Fritzler, Dan Fleckenstein 1949
Danny Fleckenstein's house is in that spot now on Cottonwood Creek Knik Road
Note from Gloryjean: "...shows house of Joseph B. Fleckenstein in the background. When dad, mom and I moved back to Alaska from California in 1949, we lived in this old house for the summer until dad got a cabin built on the 20 acres he and mom bought from Sharon and Florence Fleckensein.
Later, Sharon tore the house down and built he and Florence's retirement home in this same spot. When Aunt Florence died, "little Danny", Dan and Joni Fleckenstein's oldest son, inherieted that house and lives there still with his family....it's nice when five generations of a family
still live on the same property and three generations in the same house.

Photo from Gloryjean, she describes it: "This picture was taken years after
Cecil "Blackie" Wilson's garage/shop was abandoned after he died in 1948.
It was on 15 acres he bought from Fred Nelson in 1945.
Corner of Swanson, Main Street and Bogard Streets.
The building and Quonsets were hauled down from
Glenallen area when the military closed down a facility up there.
Harry Sears and others also bought buildings from that site. This
shop sat about where the Credit Union is now. In the 1970's, the
black truck was salvaged by Cecil's oldest son Vaughan, restored and passed down
to one of Blackie's great-grandsons that was named after Cecil."
