Frieda Straus

Frieda Goldtree was born in 1887 in San Luis Obispo, California, after her father Morris and his two older brothers emigrated from Germany to seek their fortune at the tail end of the Gold Rush. The Goldtree family opened the town's only general store and were later instrumental in bringing the railroad to the central coast. Drought and a poor economy drove the Goldtree family back to Germany around the turn of the century, where Frieda eventually met her future husband, Albert Straus.
