DEATH TAKES PIONEER MEAT DEALER OF CITY
John Pitz Passes Away At Home at Age Of 70
John Pitz, Sr., pioneer meat market owner of the city who was actively
engaged in business in this city for forty-five years, died today at
his home 1412 New York avenue, aged 70 years. Heart trouble, superinduced
by dropsy was the cause of death. Funeral services will be held Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in charge of Manitowoc lodge 65, F. & A.M., of
which he had been a member for forty years or more.
Mr. Pitz, who was born in Aparzenheim, Germany, September 30, 1851, came
to America at the age of 18 and located at Milwaukee and three years later
took up his residence in this city where he has always made his home since.
He engaged in business forty-six years ago and with exception of one year,
had conducted stores on York street, his last location which for many years
he occupied, having been at 707 York street. About eighteen months ago Mr.
Pitz disposed of the property to the Farmers' Dairy Co. and retired from
business. For several months his health had been failing and during the
past two weeks, his death had been a matter of days.
Well Known in Business.
During his long career in business in the city Mr. Pitz had become widely
known and enjoyed a big business, having the confidence of his patrons.
His first shop was on Buffalo street but after a year he removed to
Seventh and York and later to the location across the street at 707 where
he erected a new market and residence which he occupied for many years.
He gave his undivided attention to business and to his home.
Married in 1874.
Mr. Pitz was married September 27, 1874, to Mary Mahlman at Branch, who
survives him with three children, Mrs. Alfred Boehringer, and John Pitz
Jr., this city and Mrs. George W. Kennedy, of Green Bay. One daugher,
Cornelia died three years ago.
Mr. Pitz was one of the best known pioneer business men of the city and
since closing his business nearly two years ago, had lived in retirement.
