DAYTON, OHIO. 



Death of Fred'k W. Ritter. 



On the evening of March 1 Dayton 

 lost her oldest florist in the death of 

 Frederick W. Ritter, father of H. H. 

 Ritter. Mr. Ritter was 93 years of age 

 and for eighty years was a practical 

 florist. For the past half century he 

 lived in Dayton. Death was the result 

 of injuries suffered February 23, in a 

 fall down stairs. It was thought at first 

 he would recover, but the shock to his 

 nervous system was too great for the old 

 gentleman to bear. He made his home 

 with his son, H. H. Ritter, and it was 

 here that the accident occurred. His 

 death marks the passing away of another 

 of Dayton's substantial German pioneers 

 who came here in the early history of 

 the city and assisted in building it to 

 its present metropolitan proportions. 



Mr. Ritter was born in Leipsic, Ger- 

 many, on July 13, 1813, and in July next 

 would have been 93 years of age. Up 

 to a recent period Mr. Ritter was pos- 

 sessed of robust health, and barring 

 accident, promised to reach the century 

 mark. He came to Dayton August, 1852, 

 and for fifty years past had resided on 

 (J rand avenue. He was continuously in 

 the florist business for eighty years, a 

 remarkable business record, and one sel- 

 dom attained in any line of trade or 

 profession. 



Mr. Ritter 's wife died twenty-eight 

 years ago. He is survived by four chil-
