A vaporous Fortean. Maybe.
We can only track Martin J. Fritz’s life because of his mother’s obituary. And even at that he doesn’t appear in may historical records that I can find. Nor does it prove he is the same one who appeared in the pages of Doubt.
Martin J. Fritz, the one I will follow, the one I think is relevant, was born during the early years of the 1900s exactly where and when in dispute. The 1920 census has him born around 1905 in Illinois; the 1930 born around 1902 in Austria-Hungary; his social security death notice in 9 November 1902. His application for social security or Los Angeles death certificate would shed additional light on the matter, but given his tenuous connection to the Fortean Society I didn’t bother purchasing either of those.
