The Canton Repository.  Canton, Ohio.  Tuesday, July 12, 1898.
	Thomas Betz, one of the popular young men of Canton, and a trusted and 
confidential employe of the Miller Hardware company, died Tuesday morning at 6 
o’clock at his home, No. 806 West Fourth street, aged 37 years.  The news of 
his death spread about the streets like wild-fire, Tuesday morning, and as the 
blow was an unexpected one, the shock to the community was great.  He was 
respected and looked up to as a man of noble character.  He was popular among 
the young people, having lived in Canton since his birth.  By his own efforts 
he won for himself the general respect which he enjoyed, and made for himself 
a host of friend, who, with the family, mourn his death.  For some time he had 
been the bookkeeper for the Miller Hardware company, going to that place from 
the Nye manufacturing company, with which he had held a responsible position.
	He was an active member of the German Reformed church, and in 
religious circles, who also looked up to and respected.  For nearly three 
years he had been afflicted, but, through strenuous effects to keep up, he was 
enabled to continue the performance of his at the office of the firm for which 
he labored, until ten days ago, when he became confined to the house.  The 
funeral arrangements have not yet been arranged.
