Chico, Butte County, in September, and engaged in teaming for one year.  He then 
went to Nevada, where the same business was followed until the fall of 1865, 
when he came back to Lake County, and, after a residence of about twelve years 
on Middle Creek, settled on his present place, consisting of six hundred and 
twenty-nine acres, located in Bachelor Valley, where he is engaged in farming 
and wool growing.  Mr. Fritts married, May 6, 1866, Miss Alice Denison, a native 
of Iowa. Their children are, Mattie A., Mary E., Fannie V., Laura E., Ollie M.,
