I just came home from a trip to Vinton County and to their wonderful library in McArthur and have the obit for Arch LANTZ The McArthur Democrat Enquirer Newspaper dated October 14, 1931 "Arch Lantz, 63 died at his home here Tuesday morning after an illness of several months. He was not in good health for the past several years, and for the most of the summer had been confined to his home. Among the survivors are his widow Mrs. Ida Lantz; two daughters Margaret , teacher in the McArthur public schools, and Elizabeth, and a son Harry at home, a sister Maude, with whom he made his home. He was the son of the late Mr and Mrs David Lantz of McArthur. Lex Pearce of Missoula, Mont. and Ben Pearce of Flint, Mich are nephews and Mrs Wade Blaney ( Lois Pearce) of Toledo is a neice. Funeral services will be held at the residence Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. A.B. Kirkendall officiating. Interment in Elk Cemetery. Gaskill and Son in charge." I also have Ida Belle Saltz Lantz's obituary as well if you are interested. I have not entered them into my FTM files yet..they are fresh from the black books of Rosella Hunter's comiling! Bless that lady's heart! She still volunteers in the genealogy room although she is retired from the library! She is the best! I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need Ida's obit too!
