    Shantz. - Franklin Shantz, son of Moses and Susannah Shantz, was born Sept. 14, 1856; died at his home in Waterloo, Ont., Jan. 1, 1929; aged 72 y. 3 m. 17 d. He was married to Leah Groff who predeceased him nearly five years ago. He united with the Mennonite Church in early life in which faith he died. He was of a quiet disposition, but we believe his walk and conduct spoke louder than his words. He expressed himself as being ready to meet his Lord and had a desire to depart. He leaves 3 sons, 3 daughters, 1 adopted daughter, 26 grandchildren, 4 brothers, and 5 sisters, besides a host of relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted at the home by Bro. Noah Hunsberger and at the Waterloo Mennonite Church by Bros. Jesse Martin and Jonas Snider.
