CLARENCE GARLITZ

Frozen Body of Clarence Garlitz of Avilton Found in Woods

  Funeral services for Clarence Garlitz, 67, of Avilton, Md., whose frozen body 
was found in the woods near St. Ann's Catholic Church, Avilton, Md., were held 
Monday morning in the church with burial in Avilton Cemetery.
  Mr. Garlitz was last seen Dec. 18, but relatives had not reported him missing 
believing he had gone to Baltimore on a visit.
  He apparently was cutting wood when stricken and he is thought to have been 
dead over a week when his body was found.  In his clothing were $675 in currency 
and 79 cents in change.  There was no evidence of foul play, the authorities 
stated. 
  He was a son of the late Isadora and Elizabeth Garlitz and was born at 
Avilton.
  Surviving are two sons, Ronald and Gerald, both in the armed services, and two 
daughters, Mrs. Grant McKenzie and Mrs. James Joyce, Baltimore.  He was a 
brother of Lawrence Garlitz and Mrs. Lily Newman, Everett, Wash.; Orville and 
Wilfred Garlitz, Avilton; Mrs. John McGowan and Mrs. George Winner, Midland, Md.  
There are six grandchildren.
