Chico Enterprise-Record, Monday, May 2, 1977, pg 2A: "Prominent Chico Farmer J.M. Stutz is Dead at 84. Longtime local farmer Joseph Michael Stutz, 84, of Oak Park Avenue died this morning at a Chico hospital.
Memorial services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday at Brusie Funeral Home.
Born Oct. 21, 1892, in Futog, Austria-Hungary, Stutz was descended from 18th Century German colonists who settled the area which is now part of Yugoslavia.
In 1910, at the age of 17, he came to St. Louis, Mo., and was married in 1914 to Susanna Scherting, who immigrated to America with her family from Setchan, Austria-Hungary, in 1906.
Stutz, who worked as a leather-cutter while in St. Louis, moved here with the Scherting family to take up farming in 1919. With two small children, the Stutz family settled on the George Gray Ranch on Lone Pine Avenue. Gray had been the manager of John Bidwell's fruit farm operations.
In 1923 the Stutzes purchased acreage from Frank Morehead on Morehead Avenue and planted potatoes and dry beans while still living and working on the Gray Ranch. Two years later they moved to the Morehead Avenue location.
Mrs. Stutz, who was actively engaged in farming operations, died in 1968.
In addition to the garden goods Stutz farmed over the years, he grew peaches, grapes, sugar beets and was a bee keeper. He worked closely with the U.S. Plant Garden and Introduction Station here. He developed many innovative farming techniques.
Stutz is probably best known for the red potatoes and high quality sweet corn sold throughout Northern California and shipped to San Francisco wholesale markets.
Six years ago the Morehead Avenue ranch was sold and Stutz purchased property on Oak Park Avenue where he built a home and developed a diversified garden which was featured in the Enterprise-Record on March 31.
Survivors include four daughters, Susanna Sullivan of Fairfield, Marieanne Stone of Los Angeles, Eva and Barbara Stutz, both of Chico; three sons, Joseph A. of Willows, George M. of Red Bluff and John Stutz of Chico; a brother, Adam Stutz of San Diego; a sister, Marie Witkay of St. Louis, Mo,; 14 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
Stutz will be cremated and his ashes scattered on his ranch.
Funeral arrangements are being completed by the Brusie Funeral Home and the time of services will be announced later."
