B.C. Moritz Dead
Bernard Carl Moritz, born Sept. 25, 1833, at Haguenow, Germany. Died at his home in Mulhall at 6:55 a.m., June 16, 1911, age 77 years, 9 months and 21 days.
His sickness had been long and painful, beginning with a paralytic stroke afterwards complicated with kidney troubles.
When a lad of fourteen, he came with his parents to America and soon after arriving in this country, he was deprived of both father and mother by death, thus he was left to support and guardian of a large family of younger children in a land of strangers and unacquainted with the language, he was made acquainted with the hard work and hard knocks that too often come to those left to work out their own livelihood and those dependent upon them. He apprenticed himself as a boat carpenter and made his way through the rough work and rough usage of that occupation fifty or sixty years ago. His early years in America were spent at Dubuque, Ia. Later he removed to Kansas where he was married to Miss Bertha Geibitz. Together they suffered the privations of the early Kansas settlers but by industry, economy and integrity they succeeded in making a good start. In 1890 they came to Mulhall with their family and this has been the home of the family since. In 1892, Mrs. Moritz died. They were parents of seven children, four of them living and were at his bedside when the end came.
They are Mrs. Sophia Hannah, Mrs. Emma Winters, Mrs. Bertha Hazen and Mr. Bernard Moritz.
Mr. Moritz was married the second time to Miss Emma C. Buesch, of Dubuque, Iowa, January 24, 1900 who, with their two sons, Earnest William and Raymond Bernard, also survive him.
In his twenty years in Oklahoma and this vicinity, B.C. Mortiz was known as a man of industry and integrity. He accumulated considerable property and accomplished his much talked of ambition leaving each of his children a farm. He was a man of strong individuality, honest in his dealings with men and a hater of shams.
The funeral was largely attended from the Presbyterian church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J.H. Martin, who spoke from the text, "A broken reed he will not break, the smoking flax, he will not quench."
The burial took place at Roselawn Cemetery.
