PETER D. FRETZ
[Welland Telegraph April 3, 1903]
The funeral of the late Peter D. Fretz took place last Monday forenoon from his late residence. The procession then went to the Tunker church, which was crowded to the doors. The large concourse of people which were in attendance showed the esteem in which deceased was held. He was past 68 years of age, and was born on the same place on which he died. His father, the late Daniel Fretz, was one of the first settlers in the neighborhood, when the land was covered with timber. He had to cut down trees to get a building spot. The late Mr Fretz leaves a widow, a number of sons and daughters, one brother, Mr Joe Fretz, of Fort Erie; three sisters Mrs A. Beam, of Stevensville, Mrs Anker of Buffalo, and Mrs J. Sherk of Ridgeway, and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn hos loss. The services were conducted by Rev Asa Bearss, of the Tunker church, of which deceased had been a faithful member for a great many years. Interment took place in the adjoining cemetery. The family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
