GRANVILLE STULTZ, farmer, P. O. Gettysburg, was born in Frederick County, Md., 
December 19, 1827, a son of Nicholas and Catherine (Crumb) Stultz, natives of 
Lancaster County.  The parents moved to Maryland in an early day, where they 
remained until 1830; then returned to Pennsylvania, and resided three years in 
Cumberland Township, this county; then moved to Hamiltonban Township, where the 
mother died in September, 1863, and the father in July, 1865.  Granville was 
reared on the farm and remained with his parents until twenty-four years of age, 
when he married and returned to Frederick County, Md.  There he remained one 
year, when he located in Highland Township, this county, where he has since 
resided, with the exception of one year he spent in Liberty Township.  In the 
spring of 1872 he moved to his present place, where he owns fourteen and one-
half acres of land, and on which he has put all the buildings and improvements.  
In November, 1862, he was drafted, served nine months, and participated in some 
skirmishes.  After his draft expired he was re-drafted and served until the 
close of the war.  March 2, 1854, he married Margaret, daughter of Henry and 
Barbara (Valentine) Damauth, and their union was blessed with two children:  
Robert K. and an infant deceased.  Mr. Stultz has held the office of supervisor, 
and has also served as the first township clerk of Highland Township, inspector 
and judge.  He and his wife are members of the German Baptist Church.
