After disembarking in New York, Fritz went to Omaha, Nebraska. There he soon met the much younger Johanna (Ann) Geilus, a daughter of German Lutherans, from Prussia and Alsace. They married in 1894 in the First Evangelical Church in Omaha. They had a daughter, Adele, born in 1896, and a son, the future dancer, actor and singer Fred, born in 1899.
He would never see his son achieve the heights of super stardom. He died at the age of 55.
