Joseph was born in Sigel, Shelby County, Illinois, on April 18, 1868, and died in Clarkston, Asotin County, Washington, on September 27, 1957.

The brick yard produced steam dried and steam pressed brick. By 1909, the capacity of the facility exceeded 20,000 bricks per day.

When a fire destroyed much of Kendrick in 1900, including the brickyard, Fruchtl had enough brick inventory to assist in rebuilding the business district of town.
