Picture of the historic plaque at the front entrance of Fritz Cemetery.

The wall, that was missing from the Fritz, has been rebuilt. Through the efforts of a small committee of descendents, the support of Douglass Towsnhip (Berks County), grant funding, and contributions of private citizens it is now complete and very beautiful. These photos were taken Oct. 19, 2005:
