- The story of how Frederick Seeger came to America as told by Annie Hunt
to Willard Hunt: Frederick Seeger was about 14 years old when he sneaked onto a ship leaving Europe and heading to America. It was about two days after leaving port before he was discovered to be on the ship. Once found, he was spanked and forced to work to pay for his trip. When the ship reached New York City, he was not permitted to leave the ship so he jumped off. He wanted to get away as far as possible so that nobody would find him, so he hopped a train and ended up in Houghton, Michigan. He worked in the iron mines near Houghton. He married Elisabeth Funke and had a couple of children before coming to Detroit. While in Detroit, he worked at Voight Brewing Company for about six years and then opened up his own Beer Garden Saloon.
- Willard Hunt recalls seeing a Blatz Beer commercial on Detroit TV during 1974 that showed a picture of Frederick Seeger. He said that there were three other people who also recognized the picture. Willard wrote to "Action Line" in the local newspaper inquiring about the commercial. The time he saw the commercial, the picture of Frederick Seeger was replaced was replaced with another picture.
