Andrew Fritts, aged 45 years, died at his home on Richards Avenue on Saturday morning after an illness of less than four days of appendicitis. Mr. Fritts was employed as a carpenter with A.L. Shoemaker and was stricken down while working at the bench in the shop on Wednesday of last week. He was found sitting in a semi-conscious condition by Fred Sherm, a fellow workman, and he summoned Dr. P.S. Hann who ordered the patient removed to his home. He regained full consciousness but never rallied and on Saturday the end came.
Andrew Fritts was born in Andersontown, Warren County and while in that section on DEcember 1, 1875, he united in marriage with Anna E. Pence. From this union there were two sons, Wesley and Harry, who with the widow survive. Mr. Fritts and his family removed to Dover from Port Colden twenty-three years ago last fall and have since made their home here.
He was a man among men at all times, a good father and husband, a kindly neighbor and one who once having passed his word stood by what he said.
Mr. Fritts was a member of Mansfield Lodge, No. 36, F. and A. M. and Mansfield Lodge No. 42, I.O.O.F., both of Washington and a member of the carpenters and joiners union of Dover. This last named order attended in a body.
The funeral services were held at the late home on Tuesday morning, the Rev. Dr. A.B. Richardson officiating. The body was interred with Masonic rights in Locust Hill Cemetery by Acacia Lodge No. 29, F. and A. M. of this place.
