The Franksville Veterinary Clinic The Franksville Veterinary Clinic originated with Dr. Fred J. Fritchen in 1915. Dr. Fritchen worked out of the building located behind his home at 10220 Highway K, until 1953. In June of 1954, Dr. and Mrs. Willard Lynn purchased the home at 10203 Highway K, and opened the Franksville Veterinary Clinic treating 90% large animal and 10% small ani- mals. After a fire destroyed their original clinic, they built the present Franksville Veter- inary Clinic in 1961. In July of 1967, Dr. and Mrs. John Fritsche, came to the Franksville Community, pur- chasing the clinic from the Lynn's. At the pre- sent date, Dr. Fritsche and his associate, Dr. Mary K. Urhausen, treat 30% large and 70% small animals. Meissner's Fruit & Vegetable Barn The barn in the background of this picture, built around 1900, is now Meissners' Fruit and Vegetable Barn. In 1943 Gus Meissner moved the barn across the street by horse-power from this site behind the homestead owned by Dr. George Baker (now owned by Tom Zimmerman) to its present foundation. 27
