Obituary, The Medina County Gazette, June 19, 1914, p. 8: James Fitch Pritchard - 
James Fitch Pritchard, a highly esteemed resident of Medina, who had been in failing 
health the past year, departed this life June 4, 1914, at his home in Cleveland, age 71 
years and 7 days. He was the youngest son of Joseph Garrett and Maria Fitch 
Pritchard and was born May 28, 1843 in Medina Township, on the farm where he 
spent his entire life with the exception of the last year. In March 1881, he was married 
to Elizabeth Maule of Granger, Ohio. To this union were born four children; James M., 
Garrett E., Joseph H. and E. Adelaide. Mr. Pritchard was a man possessed of many 
characteristics. He will be remembered for his marked amiability and kindliness of 
heart augmented by his ever cheerful and jovial dispositin. His activity and industry 
were tireless. Not only his family but a wide circle of friends mourn the death of one 
who was dutiful, affectionate, loving son, husband and father.
