GAROLD PLATZ |
GAROLD PLATZ was the 3rd son of NILES PLATZ & EVA MAE CAMPBELL. He was born August 7, 1907. After Eva Mae died Garold was raised by Niles' brother John. I don't have any other info on him. I would love to find out about him and if he ever got married. There is another Garold Platz from Marshall County but this is not him. This causes quite a bit of confusion. |
