My dead-end:
I’m looking for Fred Deetz’s four brothers mentioned in his obit. They could have changed the spelling of Deetz to Deitz or Dietz.
I think he had a brother with the same first names so always went by Fred
I did find in the 1925 Iowa census Fred’s father’s name was William Deetz and his mother’s name was Johanna Krug.

. Does anyone reminder Fred’s brother’s names or his parents?
