Mazie Etoile Fritz, daughter of Charles A. and Mazie Fritz, was born in Newton Township, June 4, 1903.

In September of that same year she entered the government service and was still in their employment at Patterson Field at the time of her death. In the spring of 1925 she united with the Covington Church of the Brethren by baptism during the pastorate of Rev. C. F. McKee, now of Dayton. September twenty-second, 1934 she was united in marriage with James R. Moyer, of Breman, Ohio. She departed this life May 7, 1935 after giving birth to a son prematurely born. She was 31 years, 11 months and 3 days old. She was of noble character, kind to all she met and ever willing to share another's burden. She was a loving and dutiful wife and daughter who will be missed by a host of associates and friends who loved her. She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, her son, her mother and her father. All knew of her Christian faith by her daily walk in life while her body lay in repose in a room of her girlhood home, an aeroplane sent from Dayton airport hovered for a number of hours over the homestead farm and then lowered to a point above the house giving a signal showing the love and respect shown her by her employers and her associates in the office where she had so faithfully and efficiently served for more than a dozen years.
