I am the granddaughter of Edgar Harvey Bielfelt, I see that you have a memorial for him.

I would like to give you more info on him so that he may have a more personal memorial


He was one of 6 siblings, 3 of which passed early in 1925 his remaining siblings were

a sister Louise Iva Bielfelt, and a brother Donald W. Bielfelt


He married in 1939 in the county court house of Peoria Illinois, to Margaret Leona Bitner (adopted name Dittrich)

He had one son, my father Edgar Charles Bielfelt.

3 Grandchildren Edgar Charles Bielfelt Jr

Kathleen Bielfelt (Herrera)

6 Grandchildren; Robin Elaine Ridpath, Andrea Plum, Clinton Plum, Aaron Herrera, Alanna Herrera, Adam Herrera

and 5 Great Grand Children; Drew Plum, Mea Matulka, Naomi Puzzuoli, 2 other names unknown

since he passed while my father was still young, his mother left peoria and his family so we know very little about him on a personal level aside from his military records.
