She was the wife of Mr. C. G. Fitze, at one time treasurer of the Houston East and West Texas narrow gauge road, and of [sic] Judge Charles B. Fitze. At the time of her death she was there on a visit to Joseph B. Fitze, one of her sons, for pleasure and health, though she was usually in excellent health. She leaves several children to mourn her death, among them being Mrs. Mamie Jones, wife of an ex-sheriff of Wharton county; Mrs. Gus Cook, Mrs. Wm. P. Arnold, Justice Chas Fitze, and several younger children.
