Mae L. (nee Schultze Franz was the daughter of Max H. Schultze (b: Aug. 13, 1895 -- d: Oct. 2, 1989) and Eleanor Beller (b: Apr. 10, 1897 -- d: Nov. 19, 1925). The couple married May 07, 1918 in Thorp.

Eleanor was buried in St. Bernard's cemetery in Withee Township. I'd be curious to know where Max might have been buried.

BTW, Edwin Franz (Mae's spouse) was the 1st cousin of Theodore J. Kippenhan (my paternal grandfather).

My thanks to Audrey for posting this article!
