Death on New Year's Day of Joseph Pitz, a well-known resident of our city,
following a six-week illness. The deceased, who was born 19 Nov. 1845 in Nieder-

came to America in 1867 directly to Manitowoc County. In 1874 he married Miss
Lovely of Branch, a marriage blessed with 4 children. His wife preceded him in
death about 12 years ago. Ten years ago he remarried with Elisabeth Fetzer, a
marriage which produced no children. Mr. Pitz was one of a family of 9 sons and 5
daughters; 5 brothers and 4 sisters survive him, of whom 2 brothers and 3 sisters still
live in Germany. His widow, and 4 children of the first marriage, mourn his death.
