The body lay in state at the church from 1 o'clock until the time of the services. Burial was in St. Paul Lutheran cemetery.

Mrs. Schultz died Wednesday, Feb. 24, 1965, at the Postville hospital after a short illness.

She was born the daughter of Franz and Magdelena, nee Barghahn, Jarms, Jan. 12, 1891, in Giard township. She was baptized Louise Maria Sophia Emma, by Pastor Johannes Graening, at St. Paul Lutheran church in Monona, Feb. 22, 1891.

She was married to Fred Schultz June 23, 1917, with Pastor Otto Wappler performing the ceremony. The couple farmed for two and one-half years in Grand Meadow township and then moved to the home at the south edge of Monona, which is now occupied by their son and his family. She made her home with them since the death of her husband in 1956.
