Correction Postnote: My research indicates that his death date was 
approx. February 15. The news article gives the impression that he 
died one day before the newspaper issue - February 22nd. Some of the 
people mentioned in the obituary and their relationships are: Ambrose 
Schwab was an uncle to Joseph Garthoeffner, Mrs. Martin (Mayme) Lutz, 
and Mrs. Joseph (Helen) Lutz. I have also found records indicating 
that his wife's maiden name may have been spelled: Kautza.
