Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, May 24, 1906
The Death of Mrs. Boltz.
  On Tuesday afternoon, May 15th, 1906, the spirit of Mrs. Josephine 
Staffens Boltz, ascended to her eternal home, and reposes with the just 
and good. Mrs. Boltz was a native of Germany, and was born Dec. 12th, 
1829. In 1856, she was happily united in marriage to the late Mr. Henry 
Boltz of Camden. She came here as a bride, and had resided here since. 
At her death she was in her 77th year. Her surviving children, are Miss 
Rosa Boltz, Mrs. R. L. Hawthorne, and Messrs. Geo. C. Boltz and Ephraim 
P. Boltz. Another daughter, Mary, died some years ago, the wife of Mr. 
Jacob Ruppenthal. Mrs. Boltz was buried in the Camden Cemetery, along 
side of her husband.
  Mrs. Boltz had reached a good old age, but her life had been so good, 
so charitable, so honorable, that everyone felt her death was a loss to 
the community. She was a devoted wife, a fond mother and grand mother, 
and a faithful friend to the poor and the needy. Her hand and aid was 
never withheld from the sick and suffering; her life was that of a good 
Christian woman, who exemplified in her daily life, her precepts and 
examples, and the sweet fragrance of a worthy life, well spent, should 
be an inspiration and consolation, to those whom she preceeded to the 
Eternal Rest. Peace to her remains.
