Death of Edmond B. Fritz

Edmond B. Fritz, for many years a resident of Winterset, and Madison county, died Monday, May 20th, at the Harken hospital in Osceola, after an illness of several months. Mr. Fritz gave up strenuous work a number of years ago, because of his health but his condition was not thought to be critical.

He made his home on the farm, with his parents, for a number of years. After the death of his parents, he and his brother, Clarence, remained on the farm. He came to Winterset, because of failing health, 20 years ago, and had since made this town his home. He had several times, spent a few months with his brother, Luther, in Greenfield, and with other relatives. He was never married.

Mr. Fritz united with the Methodist church in Winterset, many years ago. One brother, Whitfield, passed away in 1905.
