The event will be hosted by his daughters. Mr. Schmeltz was born February 4, 1915, at Walkerton to Louis and Dora (Hullinger) Schmeltz. He was the fifth of six children. His siblings included Bernice Odaffer of Mishawaka, Robert Schmeltz, Alice Wisenbaugh, Edna Miller and Eugene Schmeltz, all now deceased.

Later he would haul livestock for area sale barns until he retired in 1975. He also worked at Corals of Bremen until 1979. “I have lived through the best years in history, watching all the changes to so many modern conveniences”, Mr. Schmeltz said. On December 31, 1937, he married Bertha Thomas of Teegarden. They lived at their Walkerton farm until 1991 when they moved to Plymouth. They have four daughters: Sharon (Mrs. Dale) Lowry and Donna (Mrs. Donald) Wood, of Walkerton; Margaret (Mrs. Larry) Birk and Gloria (Mrs. Charles) Krieg, of Plymouth. There also are 15 grandchildren, 16 great-grand-children; three step-grandchildren; and six step great-grandchildren. Mr. Schmeltz enjoys doing yard work and visiting with friends and family.
