A. Power, on Bath avenue at three o'clock this afternoon. Services were conducted by the Rev. T. J. Ray, pastor of the Menifee Memorial Presbyterian church. Interment was in the Owingsville cemetery. Mrs. Fritts was a native of this county, was a daughter of the late T. J. and Ruth Palmer Hendrix and was born at East Fork. She lived in Owingsville for some years during the lifetime of her parents, who spent their declining years here. Her first husband was the late Dr. A. B. Boyd, of Carlisle, who died in 1905. Following her marriage to Mr. Fritts, she moved to St. Louis, Mo., where she lived for a number of years before going to Chicago. Mrs. Fritts had been an invalid for the past eight years and had been in very poor health for some months prior to her death, which, however, was due to heart failure following a severe attack of influenza. Besides her husband, she is survived by one son, Thorpe Boyd, of Chicago; three grandchildren, Thorpe Boyd, Jr., Spencer Boyd and Edwina Boyd; one brother, Smith Hendrix, and one niece, Miss Ruth Power, of Owingsville.
