She was born at Kanmantoo, South Australia, and came to Broken Hill in 1886, before the railway line. Besides Mr. A. Fritsch two daughters (Mrs. A. J. Couson and Mrs. A. K. Hamilton) survive her. She had been living with Mrs. Hamilton at 417 Thomas Street. One son (Harry) died in 1927. Mrs. Fritsch was a member of the Pensioners' Association.
The funeral is to leave Mrs. Hamilton's residence at 11 o'clock on Saturday morning. Envoy J. Crocker will conduct the graveside service. The interment is to be made in the Methodist Cemetery, in the grave of her husband who died in 1937. Norman Woodman has charge of the funeral.
