Charles E. Stoltz

Charles E. Stoltz, for years a well-known and successful farmer, living in Franklin precint, this county, has recently disposed of his fine farm consisting of one hundred and sixty acres of prime land, all in an excellent state of improvement; however, he is still the owner of forty acres of land in Texas, in the irrigated section of the Rio Grande. He was born on April 23, 1870, in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, the son of William and Mary (Ulmer) Stoltz, also natives of the same county and state. William Stolt was a son of Jacob Stoltz, a native of Germany. Mary Ulmer was the daughter of Isaac Ulmer and wife.

William Stoltz came to Richardson County from Pennsylvania in 1886 and located between Dawson and Stella, where he bought one hundred and sixty acres of raw prairie land. He moved his family to the farm the following spring and began the task of clearing the ground for cultivation. William Stoltz was born in 1847 and died on March 20, 1915. His wife, Mary Ulmer, was born on May 31, 1849, and died on January 11, 1901. They were the parents of the following children: Charles E., the subject of this sketch; Jacob F., who lives in Aurora, Illinois; Isaac H., of Onaga, Kansas; Samuel, who lives in Chicago; William F., who lives on the home farm; Ezra W. , of Jerome, Idaho; Daniel, who died in 1878; Martin, who died in 1896; Mrs. Clara Bobbitt, who lives in Jerome, Idaho, and Hattie, who lives in Porter precinct. Of these children, Charles E. was educated in the Lycoming county schols, Pennsylvania, and Jacob was graduated from Stella high school and from the University of Nebraska. Mrs. and Mrs. William Stoltz were married on June 22, 1869.

Following his education, Charles E. Stoltz assisted his fther in building up a home and continued in this way up to the time of his marriage in 1893. In the latter year he rented his father's farm for four years and later bought out the home place, subsequently selling it. In 1904 he moved to Dawson and for two years was engaged in the hardware and implement business and then sold out. In 1906 Mr. Stoltz bought an improved farm near Holdridge, Phillips county, this state. He was the second man to pay fifty dollars an acre for land in that locality, and sold his holding at an enhanced price of seventy-five dollars an acre. He then moved to Franklin precinct, this county, and bought the farm, which he vacated about twelve months ago, paying one hundred dollars an acre for the same in 1908. This tract of one hundred and sixty acres he parted with in 1916, obtaining one hundred and seventy-five dollars an acre for the land.

On February 9, 1893, Charles E. Stoltz was united in marriage to Anna Heim, who was born in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, on February 11, 1869, daughter of John J. and Rosina Heim, also natives of that state. Further mention of this branch of the Heim family will be found in another part of this work in a sketch relating to Israel Heim. To Mr. and Mrs. Stoltz four children have been born, as follow: Esther, born on June 25, 1895; Iva, December 27, 1900; Carl, December 30, 1904, and Mildred, October 20, 1908.

Mr. Stoltz is a Democrat, but has never sought public office. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias and of the Modern Woodmen, and in the affairs of both organizations he takes a warm interest. He and his wife and family are members of the United Evangelical Church.
