  FRITZ

  Jeanette Moore Blair Fritz, 70, of Bowie, Md., died July 14, 1979, of
  cancer at Prince George's General Hospital in Cheverly, Md.  She was born in
  Gardner, Mass., March 6, 1909, to Julia M. and Ned G. Blair, and spent her
  childhood in Peterborough, N.H.  She was graduated from Peterborough High
  School in 1926, the University of New Hampshire in 1931, and completed a
  post graduate course of study in library science at Simmons College in 
  1932.  She then worked in the University of New Hampshire library system
  until her marriage to James Clarence Fritz of Brothersvalley Township,
  Berlin, son of the late Robert L. and Emma Cober Fritz, July 30, 1933.  They
  lived in the Washington, D.C., area until 1937, when Mr. Fritz accepted the
  directorship of the Bordon Experimental Laboratory in Elgin, Ill., and the
  family moved there.  In Elgin she was active in the Church of the Brethren,
  the American Association of University Women, the Y.W.C.A., and did
  volunteer work at the hospital.  When her children were grown she became a
  librarian for the fledgling Elgin Community College.  In 1965 the Fritzes
  moved to Bowie, Md., where Mr. Fritz accepted a position with the Food and
  Drug Administration.  She resumed volunteer work at Prince George's General
  Hospital; her total exceeded 5,000 hours.  She received the Lanham-Bowie
  Branch Award from the American association of University Women for superior
  service.  She is survived by her husband, James Clarence Fritz of the home;
  son, Richard Blair Fritz of Boulder, Colo., daughter, Margaret Fritz Baker
  of Lawrence, Kan.; sister Lucy E. Blair of Peterborough, N.H.; brother and
  sister-in-law, H. Henry and Emily Maust Fritz of Brothersvalley; and four
  grandchildren: Peter Fritz Baker, Elizabeth Blair Fritz, Amy Kathryn Fritz
  and James Robert Fritz.  The family suggests contributions to the charity of
