                                Caroline Walz
        Caroline Klein was born at Tonwanda, N Y, on July 6, 1852.  She
was
baptized in her infancy and in due time received a course of instruction
in the saving truths of scriptures.  On March 25, 1866, she was admitted
to communicant  membership in the Lutheran church, being confirmed at
Eggertsville, Erie county, N Y, by Rev. Adolph Botiger.  To this church
she remained faithful all her life.  She never failed, amid the manifold
changes of location, to identify herself with a congregation of her
faith.
        Her mother had died when the deceased was still a very young
girl.  Her
father was then married to Katharine Mangold and shortly after went with
his family to Edgerton, O., while Caroline remained in the east with
relatives.  About 6 years later she also came to Ohio, but returned
again to New York for about a year.  Then she came to the second time
and soon after, on August 12, 1870, was married to John Lumpp.  They
settled down on a farm east of Edgerton.
        Their union was blessed with 13 children, 6 of whom preceded the
mother
in death, the death of these 6 children together with that of her
husband forming a good share of the grief she was called upon to bear in
life.  From Edgerton they removed to the vicinity of Edon, where amid
several changes of residence the deceased spent the remainder of her
life.
        On December 5, 1898, her husband died.  In 1902 she was married
to
Christopher Walz, who died about 2 years ago.  Since that time she had
been living in Edon.
        For many years the deceased had been afflicted with heart
trouble,
accompanied by dropsy.  About Christmas time of last year the disease
took a serious turn.  While she suffered intensely and several times was
on the verge of death, it seemed only lately that the attack had been
overcome.  But the improvement was not permanent.  On last Monday she
once more took holy communion and then without fear awaited death.  It
came gently on the morning of Thursday, April 8, 1915, at 7 o'clock in
the morning, relieving her of all woe.  She reached the age of 62 years,
9 months, and 2 days.
        She is survived by her stepmother, 3 sons and 3 daughters
in-law, 4
daughters and 3 sons in-law, 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild, 3
brothers, 5 half brothers and 5 half sisters.
        Funeral services were held on Saturday, April 10, from the
Lutheran
church, Rev. A. C. Hueter officiating.  Interment in Edon cemetery.


Found in the Edon Commercial, Edon, Ohio, Thursday April 15, 1915.
