Surnames: RICKLEFS
I’m looking for information on the family of Walter RICKLEFS of the Rainy River area. He was born in 1873 in Germany and married Nellie FREMONT in 1911.
I know they had at least three sons:

Carl (b. 1912) – married ?
Fred (b. 1913) married Elizabeth SUTHERLAND
Martin (b. 1917) married Sophie/Sophia THOMAS

I’m wondering who Carl married – I believe it may have been Sarah SWEENEY (b. 1916). Sarah’s mother was a Morrisseau.

Any help much appreciated.
