She was born Jan 30, 1828, in Alsace, Germany, coming to America in 1834, and to Dubuque twenty years later. She was married at Buffalo, on September 30, 1846, to Mr. Joseph Stoltz. The latter passed away on October 30, 1893.

Mrs. Stoltz lived for many years in the house opposite to her duaghter on Jackson street. She was a most estimable lady of many attractive characteristics and qualities.

She is survived by the following children: Mr. Frank J. Stoltz, Mr. Edward Stoltz, Mr. Adam M. Stoltz, Mr. Joseph Stoltz, Mrs. J. R. Flick, all of Dubuque, Mrs. M. J. Smith, Mrs. D. Cameron, and Mrs. John Hartmann, of Minneapolis, Mrs. D. Smart of Springville, Utah, and Mrs. Maud Carpenter, of Chicago, twenty-three grand-children and two great grand-children.
