William H. Martz was the son of Henry and Sarah (Swander) Martz. He was born July 3, 1849, baptized in infancy and confirmed in the Lutheran church by Rev. Heimberger, Nov. 10, 1867. In this church he continued his membership until death.
In September, 1872, he was united in marriage to Lydia Slagle, who died July 24, 1906.
On June 11, 1912, he was united in marriage to Addie Wehr, who survives him, together with three daughters: Mrs. O. L. House of Frankfort, Mrs. Fred Jacoby of Mulberry, and Miss Ella Martz of Spokane, Wash; two step-daughters, Mrs. Fred Grosshaus of Lafayette and Mrs. Ralph Rothenberger of Mulberry, and five grandchildren – Chester Houser of Frankfort, Elgie Rothenberger, Catherine and Betty Jean Grosshaus and Barbara Jean Rothenberger; also three brothers, Levi Martz, Indianapolis; Ed Martz, Mulberry, and James Martz, Grand Rapids, Mich.
In earlier life Mr. Martz lived on a farm two and one-half miles east of Mulberry. In 1904 he left the farm and moved to Mulberry, where he spent the rest of his days.
Six years ago he began to suffer from failing sight, which gradually grew worse until it was with difficulty that he was able to get about. Other infirmities of age came upon him and finally, on the 17th day of March, 1930, he took his bed, where he remained until the end came peacefully at midnight, Thursday, Jan. 15, aged 81 years 6 months and 12 days.
This sketch was read at the funeral service conducted by Pastor Whitman at the Lutheran church Sunday afternoon.
