Residence 275 S. Pascal zip 55105 St. Paul MN. Death cert. states he was a grocer. He owned a store on University Ave. He was never in the service. Adopted at age 20 by Wilhelm and Emilie Pittelkow. Birth name on adoption papers-adopted by William and Amelia Pittelkow Came to live with Wilhelm & Emilie when he was 2. One of the articles said he was a little over 1 yr old. Obituary says he was 75 a grocery store owner until 1953 was also in real estate for about 8 years. He and Lydia had been married 51 years. His mother has several names, Anderson was supposedly his birthname per adoption papers, his SSN application listed his mother as [Wilimena] Bereant and his adopted mother is listed as Emilie Pittelkow but she also has the name Emelia, Amielia and Emmaila on census records. Florence Pittelkow sent an email in 2002 that says that he was born in Bethesda Hosp in 1888 his father was William Pittelkow and his mother Amlia Berg. Florence said that Harry owned a Grocery store on Dale and Edmunds. It went out of business and he bought a building across the street and opened up another Grocery store. That area of St. Paul is referred to as "Frog Town" due to the amount of Frence people who lived there. Florence Pittelkow told a story that Harry had been driving in his car and tossed a cigarette out the window. It flew back into the back seat and started a fire. He did not know that this had happened until he reached his destination. His surname that he was born with may be Andersen if he is of Swedish decent.

    Adoption article said he had lived with them for 18 years and he was 20 when he was adopted.; St. Paul Pioneer Press.
23. ↑ SSDI says his birth year was 1888
24. ↑ From Death Cert. died of Pneumonia due to diabetes. Buried at Elmhurst Cemetery on 12 May 1964.
25. ↑ Service at Mueller-Bias Funeral Home, St. Paul, MN
26.   1889 for the year of birth is matched by these records:
    1900 US Census states he was 11=1889
    Death Cert. states he lived to age 75=1889
    Funeral notices state the same age=1889
    On his Registration card he listed his birthdate as 19 July, 1889. He was 27 at the time. He had to register in 1917 or 1918 depending on the month that would leave a span of 1889-1891
    1890 is supported by:
    1895 MN State Census shows he was 5 years old=1890
    1905 MN State Census shows he was 15=1890
    1910 US Census show he was 20=1890
    Also on his adoption papers in Jan. of 1910 he is listed as 20 years old=1890
    1891 is supported by:

    Also in R. L. Polk & Co. St. Paul City Directory 1904 & 1909. This was probably the Store address. Florence Pittlekow said that they lived next door to the store (probably 561 N. Dale).
    R. L. Polk 1898 shows this address also for Wm. Pittelkow. Harry would have been around 9.

36. ↑ From application for SS#.
    Dale and Edmonds would probably be Ward 12?
    Also listed on 1920 US Census.
    From my Aunt Genevieve, email dated 9-14-04-she is absolutely positive that this is the home address. 569 North Dale was probably the address of the grocery store. (this address appears on 1904 R.L.Polk Dir. where it shows Harry is working.)
37. ↑ location of 561 Dale St. (His father was the salesman). He had 2 stores on Dale & Edmunds. One went bankrupt and he then bought another nearby. He had 3 or 4 stores. One was at 599 Wabasha St. (See newpaper clipping of an attempted robbery date around 1941). On his Registration Card 1917-18 he listed his home and store at 569 Dale St. This address is also shown for the place of business in the 1909 R. L. Polk directory.
    
    Harry and his wife lived above the store on Dale St. and 3 or 4 of the boys
    were born there.
    
    He actually bought the store at 419 S Hamline and sold it to Robert and Kenneth.
38. ↑ I have browsed through Ward 8 & 9 but found no Pittelkows.
39. ↑ Address from a Sale Agreement with Koppy Motors, Inc. to purchase a 1935 used 2 door Ford for $225.00. It appears that there was a trade in of a 1931 Ford Coach. The reverse side of this Sale Agreement looks like this automobile was purchased by Robert Pittelkow, Harold's son.
    This address is probably a business address and not a residence.
