Died of Heart Disease.
The news of the death of Charles Stoeltzing, of Le Roy, was received here on Tuesday last and was a great surprise to many of people as he was in town on Saturday last and apparently in good health. He was born in Germany in 1832 and immigrated to America when about fifteen years old. After spending some years in Pennsylvania he came to Kansas in 1856 and located on a farm in Spring Creek township. He engaged in stock raising and wool growing and became prosperous and prominent in the affairs of the county. He has served six years as couty commissioner and four years as probate judge. In 1874 Mr. Stoeltzing made the race for state senate and was defeated by D. W. Finney. He was first married in 1860 and a separation soon took place, after which he married Mrs. Matilda Russell, a widow with five children. Mrs. Stoeltzing died in 1883 and in 1887 he married a Miss Weimer and they lived together until 1895 when they were divorced. In November the same year he married Mrs. Lucinda Craft, of Le Roy, who survives him. Mr. Stoeltzing was a Royal Arch Mason and was buried with Masonic honors at Le Roy yesterday.
