An Old and Esteemed Pioneer Passes Away.
Again us The Times called upon to tell of the passing away of one of our old, well known, esteemed citizens. Christopher Kurtz, one of Neenah's pioneer residents, died on Saturday afternoon, at 5:15 o'clock of heart failure, after an illness of three days. Decedent was born in York County, Penn., April 7, 1825. With his parents he removed to Ohio in 1835, and was married to Kathryn (s/b Catharine) Bowlby, Dec. 14, 1854. He came to Neenah in the spring of 1855 and engaged in the milling business at which he was an expert. He has been an earnest worker and member of the Presbyterian church for fifty years. He was widely known, kind and highly esteemed. Besides a wife, five children survive: J. W. Kurtz of Toledo, O., Mrs. R. Pendleton, Mrs. J. Hercher, and S. E. Kurtz, of Neenah, and Frank Kurtz of Abbotsford. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the late home, Rev. Dr. J. E. Chapin and Rev. J. L. Marquis officiating. The decedent was a man of whom the writer, a friend and acquaintance of over forty-three years, can speak in certain terms as one who was a prince on earth. He suffered in early years a stroke of paralysis that effected his hands and arms, but in all his years we never saw aught but a kindly smile on his face and a grip of friendship in his hand. He was one of God's noblemen - an upright, honest, conscientious, liberal, Christian man, and he leaves a noble wife and children to perpetuate his name. His was a good life, free from ostentation, full of honest pride and enterprise, and gave his friends a promise of a life and future worthy of emulation.
