The body of Evelyn Artz, widow of Webb C. Artz, a native of Wellington and the last member of the family of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Artz of the community, was placed in the Artz-Demory Mausoleum in Greenwood Cemetery last Wednesday under the direction of the Norton Funeral Home.
Mrs. Artz died Sunday, Feb. 8 in her New York City apartment following a lengthy illness. Her survivors include two sisters and several nieces and nephews, all residents of New York and California.
Her husband, a journalist, worked on several large newspapers, became associated with the Scripps-Howard chain of papers, and later was one of the organizers of the United Press radio service, serving as its editor. He died in July, 1941, in Indianapolis at the age of 52. His father was the second publisher of this newspaper, editing it from 1966-1976.
Upon her husband's death and burial here, Evelyn returned to New York, her home city, where she operated an employment agency for executives until her retirement some 15 years ago. She never was a resident of Wellington but was a frequent visitor of her in-laws who resided in the North Main Street residence that became the home of the American Legion following World War II.
