Noah H. Garlitz, Civil War veteran, aged 83 years, 7 months and 11 days, died at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. William Broadwater, of Avilton, Md., on Saturday morning, June 30, after an illness of about two weeks. His death was due to the infirmities of old age. Mr. Garlitz was born in 1845, the eldest son of the late Israel and Ellen Garlitz, the pioneer settlers of Pea Ridge, now Avilton, where he was born and spent his entire life. When at the age of 22, he married Miss Martha Emma McKenzie, the daughter of Leo and Johanna McKenzie, and to them were born the following children: Mary Catherine Shaderick, Sylvester and Clara Cecelia, who preceded him to the grave some years ago; Mrs. Peter Bittner of Cleveland, Ohio, Mrs. William Broadwater, Mrs. Olen Wilhelm, Mrs. Peter Broadwater, Freeman Garlitz, all of Avilton, Md.; Mrs. Edward Miller of near Garrett, Pa., who survives. His wife preceded him to the grave three years ago. He is also survived by 74 grandchildren and 89 great-grandchildren, who will all miss Grandfather. He bore all his afflictions bravely, and almost to the end of his life journey remained active in mind and jovial in his disposition. He was a great hunter, loved reading, and was a miller by trade and could laugh and joke with his fellow men and knew everybody up until the very last. Mr. Garlitz was an honest, upright, kind husband and father, and a good citizen; also, a faithful member of St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church of Avilton, Md. His funeral on Monday, July 2, was largely attended, and the floral tributes were among the most beautiful and profuse ever seen at a funeral in Avilton. 1928 - Betty Smith transcription notes
“Another son of Israel Garlitz and Ellen Robeson was Noah, their oldest son. He lived on Blue Lick and had one of the first grist mills in the area. You can still see where it stood if you know where to look. His cousin Zack had a sawmill nearby. There was a shingle mill here too. This area was a jumping place then. Now it is as deep a forest as it was in colonial days. He served in the Civil War too. Noah loved to hunt and I suppose everyone hunted then for their meat, but one day when he was going hunting his daughter Annie wanted to go along. This Noah refused. After Noah's departure, Annie decided to follow, so loading a gun she went after him. Meantime Noah encountered a mean old mommy bear with two cubs, and she charged him full force. When Noah raised his gun to fire, a tree branch whipped back and hit him across the eyes, blinding him for a time, making him helpless. Annie following, came across this scene, so bravely she raised her gun and fired at the bear, killing it. Needless to say Noah was grateful this one time for Annie's disobedience. The cubs being too small to fend for themselves, they took them home and kept them in pens, and they became quite tame. One day a circus man bought one for a traveling circus. I often heard mom talk of this dancing bear. Without its companion the other bear became mean, so Noah had a bright idea. He invited all his neighbors to a get-together, thus disposing of the bear in a good old fashion bear roast." Garlitz and Hetz History. 1981. Madeline McKenzie Maust from the Tom Garlitz website
