William Stoltz/Stolz b. Nov. 1854 in Germany immigrated to U.S. in 1873. I don't know where he was from 1873 to 1885. He may have been in Wi or other neighboring states. I found him on the 1885 census in Verdi Township, Lincoln Co., MN. He was married to Minnie (Wilhelminne Holz) b. 1861. Then I found him on the 1900 Census for Verdi Township, Lincoln Co., MN married 14 yr to Pauline Stoltz-b. 5/1874 in Germany who immigrated in 1882. His children with Minnie were: Herman Stoltz-b. 1/1883 and Lydia Stoltz-b. 8/1886 in MN-13 yr old. His children with Pauline were: Ida Stoltz-b. 8/1887, Lena (Adeline) Stoltz-b. 6/1889, Freda Stoltz-b. 5/1891. He lived in Pipestone in 1925 and died in 1926. His daughter Frieda married Edward Gehrts in 1911. Both families lived in the Pipestone and Lake Benton areas for many years, approximately mid 1800's to mid 1900's. There were numerous Stolz and Gehrts children. I would like to share information.
