MRS. NOAH STURTZ DIED MONDAY
WAS ONE OF THE EARLY SETTLERS OF HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP
Mrs. Noah Sturtz, one of the early settlers of Highland township, passed away Monday morning at her home six and one
half miles south of Montour after an illness of several months.
The funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock and were conducted by Rev. J.L. Marks of the Methodist church of Montour. Music was rendered by O.L. Millard, Rev. Marks, Mrs. W.D. Bridges and Mrs. C.J. Holden with Mrs. Millard at the organ. Interment was in Maple Hill cemetery Montour.
Eliza Baker Sturtz was born in Somerset, Pennsylvania, April 3, 1845. At the time of her death she had reached the age of 76 years, 9 months and 9 days. She was one of a family of twelve children. She lived at home with her parents until her marriage to Noah Sturtz. To this union were born ten children, eight of whom survive her and with her husband mourn her passing. Mr. and Mrs. Sturtz and five children moved to Iowa in 1878, and to the present home where they have lived and reared a large family. The surviving children are John and Charles of Highland township, Frank of Indian Village township. Fred, on the home farm; Ira of Alabama, now at home; Laura of Gladbrook and Mira of Portland Oregon and Dora of Gilman.
The deceased and her husband were reared in the faith of the German Reform church and had never changed that religion even thought there was no church of their choice here, but worshipped with the United Brethren church at Highland and assisted in its support.
Mrs. Sturtz was essentially first of all a home woman, her thought, her care, her strength, and her love being centered about her home and loved ones, but this did not prevent her from being mindful of her neighbors and friends. For more than fifty two years Mr. and Mrs. Sturtz have journeyed along life's way together. Their industry and economy secured them a competence and desired comfort.
Mrs. Sturtz had been more or less an invalid for the last nine months and quietly passed to her rest Monday morning, leaving a large circle of relatives and friends in sadness because of her going.
