TONAWANDA NEWS, Jul 14, 1926
LIFELESS BODY IN CREEK
Mrs. Amelia Schultz Dropped From Sight Tuesday - Search Ends in Discovery of Remains Face Downward in Stream About Mile From Her Home
Mrs. Amelia Schultz, 72 years old, wife of the late William Schultz of Nash Road, disappeared from her home late Tuesday afternoon and yesterday her lifeless body was found in the bed of a creek, which runs through a woods about a mile distant from her home. Coroner J. E. Helwig investigated and said he believed Mrs. Schultz ended her life. Members of the woman's family were inclined to accept the theory that the aged woman slipped into the creek and was drowned, when she was too weak to pull herself out. The ditch, in which the body was found, contained less than a foot of water and in no part of it was the body covered. A waist and eye glasses, which Mrs. Schultz wore when she left home, were found on the creek bank. These facts caused the decision reached by the coroner. The body was face downward in the stream. Mrs. Schultz had been in ill health for a long time. Coroner Helwlg learned. She resided with her daughter, Mrs. Herman Ziehm on the Schultz homestead on Nash road, east of the North Tonawanda city line. Mrs. Schultz was in the habit of making frequent trips to the woods where her body was found. She went there early Tuesday afternoon and returned in a short time. Late in the afternoon, she strolled away again and, when she failed to come home Tuesday night, relatives instituted a search which resulted in the recovery of the body yesterday. Mrs. Schultz was born in Germany and had resided in this vicinity 40 years. Surviving are six daughters, Mrs. Frank Kage of North Tonawanda;
Mrs. Charles Rockwood of the town of Lockport; Mrs. Tibbet of North Tonawanda; Mrs. Moritz of the town of Wheatfield; Mrs: Fred Hahn of Martinsville and Mrs. Herman Ziehm of Nash road; five sons, Albert of North Tonawanda, Gustave and Herman of the town of Wheatfield, Rudolph of Chicago and Charles of Lockport; 39 grandchildren and three great grand children. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Ziehm residence and at 2:30 from St. John's church at St. Johnsburg. Rev. Walter Thiemecke officiating. Burial will be in St. John's cemetery.
