Farm Family in Living Room
| A farm family posing in their living room. Sitting from left to right is John Dietrich (1874-1947), Grace Bowman (1879-1964), and Mrs. Lizzie Macke Dietrich (1880-1933). Standing behind them are Philip (b. 1880), George (b. 1883) and Julius (1885-1952) Nortman. Like others in Black River Falls, Dietrich was accused of pro-German sympathies during World War I. He was persecuted by being forced to ride on a log up and down Main Street, etc. On Armistice Day, 1918, a group went to his place in the country, put him in a truck, and made him kiss the United States flag.
