In Jan 1991, Nelia told Gail (Fritts) Fritts, “I was b. in the log house of my great-grandfather William Fritts (1795). My grandfather Smith Fritts also lived there. The house had only two rooms: a kitchen and a bedroom. There was a ladder built on the wall to climb to the loft, but it was used mainly for storage. Four of my brothers and sisters were also b. in the log house. My father John Henderson Fritts built a house on the land he received from his father’s last will and testament. We moved in it around 1908. It is still standing now (1991). My brother John Richard Fritts received the homeplace. I remember riding the train to town. We would go maybe once or twice a month. We grew about everything we needed. We raised our own meat. We would buy coffee, sugar, and salt. The train ride cost 15–20 cents one way. We would ride into town, do our shopping, and then walk home. My Aunt Mag (Fritts) Byerly lived in Thomasville, NC. Her family would catch the train and come spend the day with us. I md. John Thomas Fritts on 27 Apr 1940, Hedrick’s Grove UCC Parsonage, Lexington, NC. He was b. 18 Jan 1899, Lexington, NC, son of John Henry (26 Jul 1863–1 Nov 1953) and Amanda Isabel (Crotts, 25 Aug 1864–11 Sep 1945, md. 21 Oct 1883) Fritts. This family also descends from William and Anna (?) Fritz (1795).
My husband, John Thomas Fritts, d. 20 Dec 1987 and bur. Mt. Tabor UCC Cem., Lexington, NC. I live by myself and still tend a small garden at age 87 years (Jan 1991).
