This site is dedicated to the memory of Harold Arthur Ritter, who cherished family and all the rich history that comes with it. Harold lived on the family farm in Tilden his entire life but a natural curiosity brought other parts of the world to him. He especially relished stories about his forebears in Switzerland, relayed by his Great-Uncle Jake and Grandfather Frederick (“Fritz”) Ritter. With characteristic charm, Harold loved retelling these stories and had many of his own to add to the collection.
