IN MEMORIAM. George Henry Martz, son of Henry and Catherine Martz, was born in Knox county, Ohio, on October 22, 1838. When he was six months old, his parents moved to Monroe township, Adams county, Indiana. It was there that he had his home until he passed away, on July 23, 1917. at the home of his daughter, Mary F. Sweigart, at Daleville, Ind., to which place ho hud gone for a visit. Surviving him, he left Cora A. .Baker, Gerry R. Martz, Walter C. Martz and Minnie M. Blossom -his children to this first wife. Sarah Jane Martz, nee Riley, and Charles E.‘ Martz, Victoria Eley, Mary F. Sweigart and Orville Martz —his children to his second wife,' Amelia Martin Martz, nee Stogdill. His daughter, Druscilla C. Parrish, mother of Gyneth V. Parrish and George Parrish, preceded him in death. He was admitted to membership in Decatur lodge, No. 571. Free and Accepted Masons, of Decatur, Indiana, on October 31, 1891, and, from thence until his death, he was a member thereof in good standing. More than three score years and ten did this brother live in our midst. Several times he was called by election and appointment through proper officers to fill various public offices. As a private citizen and as a public officer, he proved faithful to every trust. Fidelity characterized the discharge of his every duty, public 1 and private. Rugged honesty, loyali ty to the principles of righteousness, and fair consideration and love for his fellowman drew to him the esteem and respect of those who knew him. Those who knew him as a husband and father knew well his love for his home and friends. It is his children who better knew his solicitude for their welfare. Without ostentatious display of affection, but with that earnestness. that fixedness of purpose .that characterized his action, he carefully watched over and faithfully and lovingly attended to the wants of those who were given to him to rear, both in their infancy and childl hood, and as they grew to manhood and womanhood, and departed from his home, yet they departed not from his thought for their .welfare was his anxious thought. He was a father in deed. As a Mason we learned to know him intimately and well. From the time he was admitted to this lodge until the sun of his life was low-de-scending, he was not an infrequent attendant of our meetings. He loved Masonry, its history, its traditions, its principles, its teachings. He endeavored to square his action, circumscribe and keep within due bound his thought, and enlighten and brighten his mind, agreeable to instructions to the craft. His presence at our meetings was appreciated. his advice was ever welcome and desired, and our association with him was pleasant. Those of us who survive him will hold him dear in memory; his virI tues will be recorded there; but mortality changes, passes away, and, soner or later, we, too, will be divested of mortality, will pass on, as has pur brother. Men may come and men may go. but Masonry and its principles will stand intact forever. A few years hence, others will have taken our places here. It is better then that the virtues of our brother |>e recorded, so that those who come after us striving to uphold the principles which he strived to uphold, may know of him and his good work; therefore, be it Resolved, That the foregoing testimonial for our brother be recorded in the proper records of this lodge.
