The following obituary appeared in the Fairfax Standard October 24, 1918

In the death of Henrietta Fritz is recorded the passing of one of the 
early pioneers of Renville county, and a women who was blessed with 
the high respect of a great many friends.

  Death came as the result of a stroke of appoplexy, which came on 
Sunday morning about 11:00 o'clock. 
 Early in the afternoon the aged woman passed into a state of 
unconsciousness and died the same evening, still resting in what 
was apparently a peaceful sleep.

   Deceased was born in Germany August 7, 1836.  In 1865 or 1866 
she came to America alone. 
 For a time she remained in New York City, then came West, to 
Wisconsin, where she was married to August Fritz in 1868.  Later Mr. 
and Mrs. Fritz removed to Minnesota, settling in New Ulm, and  later 
in 1876, came to Renville county, where they remained until the final 
call.  The husband died in 1909. 
 The remaining children are Otto, of Gibbon, Albert, of Wabasso, and 
Adolph, who remaines on the old homestead.  Frank Fritz and Mrs. Gheresa 
are step-children of Henrietta Fritz, the father having been married 
previously.  One son, William, died last spring and a daughter died at 
about the age of one year.
   The funeral was held yesterday, Rev. Fritz conducting a service at 
the residence at 3 o'clock, and later at the Wellington church.
