Note: I reviewed all the pictrues I took of memorials at Greenwood Cemetery and see none that represent William or Ida Fritz. There are several for their family, which is right because they lived near Smithfield. There are a few very worn memorials in generally the same area on the west side as the others, so I must assume one of them is for Willaim and Ida Fritz. All other records that are relevant to these folks suggest they would be here. Death Registrations have not come up for them.
