Postville Review, Fri., 13 Feb. 1914.

Minnie Baltz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Baltz, was born near Postville, Feb. 5, 1895, and died at the home of her parents in Castalia, at nine o'clock, Tuesday morning, Feb. 10, 1914, aged 19 years and 5 days.

She was a catechumen of the class of 1907-'08, and during that time was a quiet, attentive and obediant pupil and good scholar. On Easter 1908 she was confirmed in St. Paul's Lutheran church. For the last few years she has attended Castalia high school. On her birthday, Feb. 5th, she was stricken with pneumonia and after five days of patient suffering she passed peacefully away. She was a kind, thoughtful, lovable young lady, just coming into the bloom of splendid young womanhood when the ruthless hand of time, with little warning, cut down the beautiful flower of earth to transplant it in the golden garden of eternity. Friends innumerable sympathize with the bereaved family in their sad and sudden bereavement.

She is survived by her parents, five brothers and four sisters.

The funeral was held from the Lutheran church in this city at 1 o'clock this (Friday) afternoon. Interment in the Postville cemetery.
