C. C. Schantz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Schantz, was born November 5, 1851 in Fulton County, Ohio, and after a severe illness of three weeks, passed away April 19, 1926 aged 74 years 5 months and 14 days. He lived in Fulton and Butler Counties Ohio until 1885 when he cane to Wayland, Iowa, where he spent the remainder of his life.

He was married December 28, 1886 to Jennie Wideman, who with four children, Leroy, Carrie, Arthur, and Ruth, remain to mourn their great loss.

Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday at 2:30 PM conducted by Rev. F. C. Fricke of Ithaca, Michigan, assisted by Rev. Simon Gingerich of Wayland. Interment in North Hill Cemetery.

Mr. Schantz’s life of 41 years in this community speaks for itself. A sincere Christian, doing good whenever he could. He was a man of strong convictions and unwavering faith in God, which did not fail him in his sickness and death, and he expressed himself decidedly as ready and willing to die. One of his last messages was that he wanted to say “Good Night” to the people of Wayland and hoped to meet them in the morning.
