Morris [IL] Herald December 4, 1893
Daniel, eldest brother of J.P. Kutz, and wife, Catharine, uncle and aunt of 
the writer died at their home in Reading, PA, on Saturday and Monday 
respectively, and their remains were placed into one grave Thanksgiving day at 
Myerstown, same state. The Reading Eagle says: “The pall bearers, eight in 
number, were selected from Mt. Penn lodge of Odd Fellows, from which a 
delegation attended. The remains were attired in black shrouds and rested in 
walnut caskets, each covered with an eiderdown blanket. On the plate on the 
lid of one casket was ‘Father’ and on the other ‘Mother’ and on the body of 
each was a sheaf of wheat. The cortege left on the 11:50 train for Myerstown, 
the funeral being largely attended. Relatives were present from Lebanon, 
Pottsville, Philadelphia, and New York. Funeral director Theodore G. Auman had 
charge; Hundreds of people viewed the remains Wednesday evening and Thursday 
morning.” The aged brother of deceased, who is now visiting his oldest son in 
Indiana, does not yet know of the sad news. May they both rest in peace.
