MRS. JACOB SCHULTZ.

Anna Rebecca, wife of Jacob
Schultz, Sr., died at their home
in Buck Valley, this county on
Tuesday, January 5, 1915, aged
&C years, 9 months, and 25 days.
The funeral took place on the
following Saturday morning, and
it was attended by very large
number of sorrowing neighbors
and friends, whose presence on
that occasion gave silent evidence
of the love and esteem they held
for one who had lived so long in
their community. The services
were conducted by Rev. ]. F.
Wenchell, of Washington, D, c.,
and interment was made in the
cemetery at the Lutheran church
in the Valley.
The deceased, a daughter of
Peter and Rachel Hage, was born
in Ayr township, this county,
March II, 1S4S, and was united
in marriage to Jacob Schultz in
1868. To this union were born
eight children, five of whom are
living, namely, Margaret, wife of
Francis M. Lee, residing at North
craft, Pa; Jacob, near Warfords-
burg, Pa; Leonard D., Platte,
Mo-; and Louis and Annie at
home. She is also survived by
her husband, five grand. children,
and two sisters-Mrs. Isaac
Worthington, Johnstown, Pa,
and Mrs. Rachel Guyer, Mechan-
icsburg, Pa.
Mrs. Schultz had been in frail
health during the past six years,
but the immediate cause of her
death was paralysis of the heart.
She was physically of delicate
constitution, but her refined and
ladylike manner endeared her to
all who came within the radius of
her influence, and her taking
away will be keenly felt,
not only by her husband and
children, but by the community
at large.
