LANTZ.

  Martin Luther Lantz died at Mercy hospital yesterday morning at 4.30 
o'clock, death being caused by pneumonia, from which he suffered but a 
few days.  He made his home with his cousin, Robert F. Lantz, 102 
Seventh avenue, Juniata.  The deceased was a son of George D. and 
Elizabeth Lantz of Beaver Springs and was born at Belleville, Mifflin 
county, May 20, 1899.  Besides his parents he is survived by a sister, 
Mrs. Foster Mitchell of California, and the following brothers: Max 
Lantz, a soldier in the regular army stationed in the state of 
Washington; Henry A. Lantz, a member of the One Hundred and Twelfth 
infantry at Camp Hancock, Ga.; Rev. Ray F. Lantz, Wisconsin, and John 
Lantz of Camden, N.J.  He is also survived by two step-sisters, Mabel 
and May Lantz, Beaver Springs.  He was a member of the Lutheran church 
and the Pennsylvania railroad relief. Since coming to Juniata he was 
employed as a machinist's hand.  The body was prepared for burial by 
Roher & Mauk and will be taken to Beaver Springs on the 5.46 train this 
morning.  The funeral will not be held until Saturday to permit his 
soldier brothers to reach Beaver Springs.
