Mrs. G. A. Shultz died at 6 p.m. on Wednesday of last week, April 18, at her home near Wilmore after a protracted sickness of many months duration. A complication of stomach and lung trouble was the cause of her sickness and death.

Margaret J. Foster was born in Marion-co., Ohio, in 1856. On December 20, 1874, she was married to G. A. Shultz. Of this union eight children - four sons and four daughters - were born. Three daughters and one son preceded her in death. Mr. and Mrs. Shultz with four children, came to Kansas a few years ago, settling at Chanute. From there they moved to Hutchinson where they lived for a short time, after which they came to Comanche-co. where they continued to live.

Deceased had for many years been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and had lived a consistent christian life. She was always patient in affliction, kind to all and much devoted to her home. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. I. W. Bailey of the Baptist church at 10 a.m. on last Saturday at the school house in Wilmore. A large number of the friends assembled to pay a last tribute of respect to a departed friend and neighbor. Interment was made in the Coldwater cemetery. The husband, three sons and a daughter survive and to them the sympathy of all is extended.
