as the Sandoz of Louisiana from
whom the Washington Sandoz
family came. Fritz L. Sandoz Of
Washington has a namesake in
Nebraska. He is the son of "Old

Nebraska Fritz Sandoz is char
acteristic of Old Jules. The
Washington Fritz Sandoz, while
serving in the Spanish-American
War, raised the flag on the U. s..
S. Cincinnati during the victory
rejoicings in Havana harbor. "Old

young officer. He liked his look
and figured out that he must
have done lot of fighting.
Therefore, he would give the lads
name to his infant son.
"Old Jules" had another Span
ish-American War hero, T. R.
Roosevelt So he called his boy
Fritz Theodore SandoZ. Marie
