Emmanuel Fritz, the 102-yearold forestry expert known as "Mr. Redwood," died Dec. 15, 1988, in Berkeley, Ca.

Mr. Fritz was involved in almost every aspect ofthe redwood industry and was considered a forestry and conservation authority for 70 years. He advised elected and appointed officials on the need to balance demands for lumber in a rapidly growing state with the need to Preserve old-growth groves, replant logged areas and set aside areas for protection.

He helped to create California's State Forest program, advised Governor Earl Warren on forest and logging matters, and 50 years ago founded the Redwood Region Logging Conference. In 1932, he wrote the pamphlet "The Story Told bY the Fallen Redwood," which is still distributed to schools across the country by the Save The Redwoods League, of which he was a longtime member.

Born in Baltimore, Md., on Oct. 29, 1886, he received a bachelor's degree from Cornell in 1908 and a master's from Yale in 1914. He worked for the New Hampshire State Forestry Dept. and the U.S. Forest Service before joining U.C. Berkeley's Division of Forestry in 1919. He retired in 1954, becoming a professor emeritus and the oldest faculty member in the university's history.

Mr. Fritz is survived by two daughters.

Edward A. Burton, 57, former owner and president of the Burton Walker Lumber Co., Ogden, Ut., died Nov. 30, 1988, in Ogden.

A native of Ogden, Mr. Burton joined his father's company, Burton Walker Lumber Co., after serving in the Korean War. He later took over the company and opened a Burton Walker branch in Layton, Ut.; Pioneer Door Sales, Ogden, and Lumber Yard Supply, Ogden.

He bought Mountain Lumber Co., Ogden, and merged it with Burton Walker, and in 1965 opened Forest Products Sales, Murray, Ut., with Rex Zeiger.

Mr. Burton is survived by his widow, Bonnie, a son, three daughters, two brothers, a sister and eight grandchildren.
