This is from the mormon site. It all came from one source, Donavon Holderread. The last name of Catherine is different (Roher vs Rally) from the 2nd query above but her death date is the same. They have Catherine and Anna as being two wives of one peter but Robert Freese Burns says Peter Sr married Catherine, Peter Jr married Anna -SJT.

Among the many worthy German citizens of Rochester are Mr. & Mrs. Henry FREESE. They occupy a pleasant residence on Jefferson street, one of the prettiest in the city. They have enjoyed married life, as only Germans can, for fifteen years, the 15th anniversary occurring Tuesday of this week. Under the skillful management of Miss Minnie HOPPE, a member of the household, a complete and very pleasant surprise was given them in which about twenty couples of their intimate friends participated. . . . .

Lawrence Freese was born January 19, 1871 in Marshall Co, Indiana and died March 8, 1924 in Washington, Starke, Indiana. His ancestors, Michael Friess and Anna Margaretha Eckers, date back to 1640 living in Wagner, Woersbach, Pfaltz, Germany. His son, Johannes Michael Friess and wife Maria Charlotta Fetcher, migrated from Germany and arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the ship "Thistle" on September 19, 1738. Upon arrival, Michael settled in Albany, Berks, Pennsylvania. The record of this family is found in "Eighteenth Century Emigrants, The Western Palatinate", pp 126-127.

Peter Freese (gggrandson of Johannes Michael Friess) and wife, Anna Faust, left Pennsylvania and migrated west through Ohio and finally settled in Marshall county, Indiana. Many of his children were born in Ohio along the way. Many of his children settled in Marshall County and others in Starke, Allen, and Pulaski Counties in Indiana.
