**********
Correction Postnote: My research indicates that his death date was 
approx. February 15. The news article gives the impression that he 
died one day before the newspaper issue - February 22nd. Some of the 
people mentioned in the obituary and their relationships are: Ambrose 
Schwab was an uncle to Joseph Garthoeffner, Mrs. Martin (Mayme) Lutz, 
and Mrs. Joseph (Helen) Lutz. I have also found records indicating 
that his wife's maiden name may have been spelled: Kautza.

DANCE HONORS CENTENNARIAN IN REEDSVILLE
Village Holds Community Dance for Mrs. Schwalm' 100th Birthday
Reedsville, Wis. (Special) -
Reedsville staged one of its biggest dances in years Friday night in
honor of the 100th
birthday of Mrs. Gustina Schwalm. Despite her advanced years, Mrs.
Schwalm appeared on the dance floor several times to demonstrate her
agility.
The community wide celebration in honor of the centennarian was
sponsored by the American Legion post, and was climaxed by the dance in
the evening.
Trouble has appeared in the life of Mrs. Schwalm time and again in her
100 years of life.  Three times she married, but death took her husband
each time. She was born in Niederserhn, province of West Prussia,
Germany, and there married William Wicknick.  Smallpox took Wicknick and
their little son.
Years later she became the bride of Ludwig Bergmann. A son and daughter
were born to the couple. The daughter died of measles at the age of two.
Later Bergmann followed his daughter, a victim of cancer. The son, Fred,
died six years ago here. She married her third husband, Jacob Schwalm.
Shortly afterwards he died of pneumonia.
With her son Fred, Mrs. Schwalm then sailed for the United States, where
all the members of her immediate family lived. For a while she lived in
Sheboygan county, but 35 years ago she moved to Reedsville. She has a
sister, Mrs. Karl Kanter, 82 in Brillion, and a son by her first
marriage, Gustave, who lives in Arting, Wash.

JOHN SCHWANTZ   cemetery #70

CAUGHT COLD AT FATHER'S FUNERAL, DEATH FOLLOWS
Well Known Young Farmer of Newton Dies 2 Weeks after 
Attending Burial of Father-Pneumonia is Cause
A cold which he contracted while attending the funeral of his father 
two weeks ago and which developed into pneumonia, caused the death 
of John Schwantz, a well known young farmer of Newton last night. Mr. 
Schwantz had been seriously ill for a week.
On May 11, Mr. Schwantz's father died and the day of the funeral was 
one of the worst of the year, a heavy rain falling and the air being 
chilled. The young man returned from the burial ground drenched and 
suffering from a cold and his condition became rapidly worse, pneumonia 
setting in a few days later.
Mr. Schwantz was 34 years of age and is survived by his wife and a 
family. He was one of the well-known farmers of the county and was 
making rapid progress in life. His death will awaken widespread 
sympathy.
The funeral will probably be held at Newton Monday afternoon.

THIRD DEATH IN NEWTON FAMILY IN LESS THAN 3 WEEKS
Mrs. Maria Schwant (sic), Whose Husband Died May 11 and son on 
May 25, Falls Victim to Same Disease
Father, son and mother in the Schwantz family in Newton have been 
claimed by Death within a period of three weeks, the death of Mrs. 
Schwantz yesterday being the third in the family in that period. 
Pneumonia was responsible for the deaths.
On May 11 Frank Schwantz, the father, died after a brief illness. 
Two weeks later, John Schwantz, a son, became ill, a cold contracted 
while attending his father's funeral developing pneumonia which caused 
death on May 25, and he was buried at Newton on Monday.
Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Schwantz became ill and when 
her son's death occurred, her condition was considered so critical that 
she was not informed of her second bereavment and relatives, fearing 
that her death was a matter of hours, delayed the burial of the son in 
the belief that it might be necessary to hold a double funeral. The 
son's funeral was held Monday afternoon and twenty four hours later 
the mother passed away.
Mrs. Schwantz was a native of Wisconsin and was 61 years of age, having 
been born Sept. 10, 1855. The funeral will be held at Newton.

STRICKEN WHILE AT WORK IN GARDEN, IS FOUND DEAD IN YARD
George Schweitzer, Last of Pioneer River Men of County, Passes 
Away While At His Work, Aged 72
Stricken by an attack of heart failure while at work in his garden 
at his home at 1017 So. Seventeenth St., yesterday afternoon, 
George Schweitzer, pioneer resident of the city, was found dead in 
his yard by neighbors at 5 last evening. Mr. Schweitzer is believed 
to have died almost instantly and without suffering. No inquest 
will be held. 
Mr. Schweitzer had been at work in the garden in which he took much 
interest during the day and was seen at work by friends during the 
afternoon. The position of the body and the garden hoe at his side 
indicates that he was engaged in hoeing when stricken. For nearly 
60 years Mr. Schweitzer had been a resident here, coming to the 
county in the early 50’s from Pennsylvania where his family located. 
He was one of the early day log drivers when the sawmill industry 
flourished here. Mr. Schweitzer is one of the last survivors of Co.D, 
48th Wisconsin regiment which was commanded by Capt. Adolph Wittman 
of this city and served for a year on the plains against the Indians.
