Martin and Julia Fraund were very hard-working immigrants who arrived from Germany in the 1860s. They had 4 children, but one died in childhood. The surviving children, Martin Jr, Julia Jr. and Godfrey worked on the family’s farm and helped support the family. The story opens as the family has been able to purchase their first piece of land from the Bruehl family during the initial birth of Oyster Bay.
