Poco Carter (left) and Francie Russell (right) are shown with Mary Jane Fritsch at her 103rd birthday party July 29 at Green Acres in Holiday Island. Fritsch is likely not just the oldest resident of the county, but also has lived in Carroll County longer than anybody else, moving here when she was five years old. The birthday guests have changed over the years, but there were still plenty of them!
