Frank E. D. DeNoewer (5/1898-1967) was born the son of Frank John Denoewer (1869-1913) and Lusina Hill Denoewer Brown (1873-1949). In his sisters obit it said that her brothers; Dewey and Edward, I beleve not finding any other brother with D in their name that his full name was Frank Edward Dewey De Noewer.
His siblings were: Hazel Denoewer Scheid (1/3/1896-1/1970), Cordelia Mae DeNoewer Scheid (1891 - 1955), George John DeNoewer (1894 - 1931), Vida Marie DeNoewer Clark (1897 - 1958), Frank E. D. Denoewer (1898 - 1967), Anna DeNoewer Hitzman (1904 - 1928), Nathan Perry DeNoewer (1905 - 1952), Chester Verne Denoewer (1909 - 1909), Kenneth H DeNoewer (1910 - 1945) and Edward Denoewer (1913 - 1966). Plus, one step-brother; Lester Brown.
He married Helen Jennersy DeNoewer (daughter of Frank and Mary Mouser Jennersy) on 4/15/1925.
Their known children were: Alma Noewer Kerns, Jean Noewer Chrosiak, and Frank R. Noewer.
Frank was a well known wrestler in Cleveland; "Collinwood Ice Man" "Iceman" or "Cleveland ice man", were the titles he used, and other arenas. He worked as a ice peddler and this helped with his upper body build. He was said to be very strong and powerfully built.

FRANK NOEWER PINS KOHL TWICE IN MAT SHOW AT O' DONNELL'S
Frank Noewer, Cleveland wrestling iceman, made it two Canton successes last night when he pinned Oscar ("bituminous") Kohl in the feature exhibition of a mat show at O' Donelll's gym...
Noewer employed a grandslam to flatten the Pennsylvania German in 20 minutes and 10 seconds, but Kohl came back to apply a body scissors for the second fall in six minutes. The iceman slammed Kohl for deciding fall in 13 minutes and 30 seconds.
