  Cleason Shantz, "was born July 28th, 1870. He is married to Maria Shantz and resides on the old 'Jacob Snyder Farm' at Waterloo where he is engaged in farming." Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.

He was converted in his youth and united with the Mennonite Church, of which body he was a member till death. He united in matrimony with Maria Shantz, Dec. 19, 1894. They were blest with 6 children of whom 2 preceded him, leaving the widow, 2 daughters and 2 sons, but we trust, not as such that have no hope, as he expressed himself as ready to depart if God saw fit.
