WILLIAM S. FRITZ, dentist, was born in the town of Sugarloaf, Columbia 
County, Penn. His parents were farmers and he was brought up on a farm. Aside 
from a common school education he attended the State normal school at 
Bloomsburg. For four winters following the time he was at the foregoing school 
he taught school two terms in his native township and one term each in Briar 
Creek and Center, in Columbia County. In 1870 he came West, locating near 
Watrousville, in Tuscola County. He taught school for four winter terms in the 
township of Juniata, and one term each in Akron, Fair Grove, Gilford and Almer; 
also one term in Stockbridge, Ingham County. In 1871 he studied dentistry, and 
from that time until 1878 he practiced that profession in simmer and teaching in 
winter. Since 1878, however, he has devoted his time solely to the practice of 
his profession, and from a very meager business has succeeded in building up a 
very lucrative practice. Mr. Fritz is also a farmer, having bought in 1880 the 
southwest fractional quarter of section 7, range 9, in the township of Almer, 
which he rents. It is only partially cleared up, but in 1882 it produced among 
other crops 530 bushels of wheat. Has a family of a wife and two children.
