Jobn Kurz was born at Eisobenan,
Germany, on August 3, 1864, and
oame toyfcbe U. 8. in tbe year 1871,
stooping at Buffalo, where be made
file home for several years. While at
Buffalo, he was married to Mary Ban,
to which union were born ten children, one of whom died in Infancy.
He came to Clare in tbe year of 1879
and lived here ever since, and bat*,
by bard work cleared up tbe farm
wbere he made, bis home.
Hie wife, Mary, dying during tbe
year 1899, he was married to Margaret
icbomanr in ldOO, wbo survives bim.
He passed from tbis' life Tuesday
morning, September 19, 1922, arter a
very abort illness and tbe funeral
beld Friday from tbe~St. John's Lutheran church, Bev. Hoeneobe presiding. All of his surviving ohiidren
were in attendance at the funeral,
being the first time tbey bad all been
at bome at once in many years.
Tbey are Charlie Kurz, of Olare; Lottie Henn, of Sontb Bend, Ind.; Carrie
Brown, of Flint; Jobn Kurz, of Olare;
Boss. Jordan, of Knox, Ind.; Mamie
Bruokart, of Clare; Katherine Geard,

dren, Lona Sebrader, ot Saginaw;
William Schomaker, of Bay Oity:
Bosa Kurtz, of Boyne City; Gertrude
Walter, of Saginaw; Pauline Nasa,
and Margaret Presley, of Clare.
Tbe large attendance of friends and
tbe many beautiful floral remembrances were all evidences of tbe
blgh esteem in wbicb Mr. Kurz was
beld by all wbo knew him, especially
those who bad known bim longest
and best. '■'*.'
He was a faltbful member of St.
John's Lutheran church, sr loving
basband and kind fatber and a good
neighbor and friend and will be sadly
missed by al).
Tbe trend of amusements for the
fall and wiuteca-aaaon seems to indi
cate a successful season for dancing
About tbe only popular entertainment for the young, as well as tbe
older couples this season is ,to trip
tbe light fantastic,
Many lovers of tbe art have taken
advantage of tbe summer outdoor pa-
vllllons to polish up their steps and
be ready for tbe big times to come In
tbe way of dances. Tbere seems to
be a tendency for tbe older couples
to predominate as statistics have
shown more eiderly*jpersonages on
tbe floor the past tummer tban ever
before, "notwithstanding tbe younger
sexes some just old enougb to be assisted on tbe floor. So on tte outlook this will be tbe season for no
regrets as a wallflower. ■■■■" J
- Profesaor Fivenson, wbo conducted a sohool of instruction bere last

to teach tbe correct dances throueb
the art of bia simple method. Professor Fivenson advises that tbis year
Is proclaimed tbe dance year. No

wisbtng that be or sbe were able to
glide gracefully to tbe strains of tbe
oatcby music.
Professor Fivenson   will   open  tbe
