"The History of Montgomery County, Ohio" by W.H. Beers & Co.  1882


Jacob Kuntz, Sr., barber, Dayton, is the son of Phillip and Catherine Margaret 
(King) Kunz, natives of Bozen Bark, province of Rhine Byrne, Bavaria.  They were
the parents of six children, three girls and three boys.  The father, who was 
born in 1800, died at the age of sixty-five years, and the mother died in 1863,
aged sixty-four years.  Jacob, our subject, came to America with one brother, in
1845, and landed in New York, from whence he went to New Orleans, but shortly 
afterward returned to New York.  He soon after located in Sandusky, Ohio, and in
1848 came to Dayton, where he worked in a barber shop for two and a half years,
after which he opened a shop of his own.  He was married January 18, 1852, to
Louisa Catharine Ficht, daughter of Frederick Ficht, of Dayton, by whom he had
ten children, six boys and four girls, of whom five boys and three girls now
survive.  Mr. kunz has been a great traveler in his time, having in his youth 
traversed the whole of France and Switzerland, and in his riper years a large
portion of the United States.  He was the Coroner of Montgomery Couhnty from
1872-1876 inclusive.  He is a member of Schiller Lodge, I.O.O.F., that being
the only secret organization to which he now belongs.
