64. JOHANN GEORGE STOLTZ
Johann George Stoltz was born 17 February 1817 at Niederkutzenhausen, (Bas-Rhin) Alsace, France. Johann George was the son of Johann Adam Stoltz and Maria Eva Jordi. See Number 111162, page 17. Johann was always called 'George'. He joined the Lutheran Church at Kutzenhausen at an early age.
George Stoltz emigrated to America with his parents in 1828 and settled in Moore Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Here George worked at the carpenter trade and perhaps worked in the coal mines. He followed the carpenter trade until 1850 when he purchased his first land in Lick Prairie Precinct (Stoltz Prairie) and began farming.
In 1834 the Stoltz family, including George's sister Eva Maria (Stoltz) Marx and her family, left Pennsylvania for Wabash County, Illinois. Upon arrival, the family 'squatted' on the S.W. 1/4 of the S.E. 1/4 of Section 20, Township 1 North, Range 13 West of the 2nd Principal Meridian, Lick Prairie Precinct, Wabash County, Illinois. At this time, George and his brothers Adam, Fred and Ludwig were still single. Of the boys, George was the first to marry.
In 1836 George helped his father, his brothers, and others to build the first Lutheran Church, called the Jordan Creek Lutheran Church, in Wabash County, Illinois, about one mile west and one-and-one-half miles south of Lancaster, Illinois. See map page 61. George lived with his parents and followed the carpenter trade. He helped his father on the farm.
George Stoltz married Margaret Hinkle 14 March 1841 in Edwards County or Wabash County, Illinois. Margaret Hinkle was born 1 February 1821 in Davidson County, North Carolina. She was the daughter of Peter Hinkle III, born 10 September 1796 near Rowan County, North Carolina, and Elizabeth Wilson, born about ' 1800 in Rowan County, North Carolina. Peter Hinkle and Elizabeth Wilson were married 3 February 1820 in Rowan County, North Carolina. A brief ancestral family lineage of Margaret Hinkle, daughter of Peter Hinkle III and Elizabeth Wilson and the wife of George Stoltz follows on page. Shortly after his marriage, George rented a farm in the vicinity of Friendsville, Illinois. He farmed and did carpentry work for the next nine years. In 1850 he purchased his father's homestead 80 acre farm -- the E. 1/2 of the S.E. 1/4 of Section 20, Township 1 North, Range 13 West of the 2nd Principal Meridian, Lick Prairie Precinct, Wabash County, Illinois. George and his family moved in with his father and stepmother and continued to live with them until his stepmother, Susan (Marx) Stoltz's death about 1860. His father continued to live with George and his family and with his daughters, Eva Maria Marx and Dorothea Barnhart.
Sometime during the late 1870's or early 1880's, George built a new twostory house and a barn from commercially sawed lumber. This house was just south of the old log house which was then used for other purposes. George was a successful farmer and purchased additional acreage. In 1864 he purchased 80 acres for $850 from William Mahon; this acreage lying just across the road west of his farm, described as the S. 1/2 of the S.W. 1/4 of Section 21, Township 1 North, Range 13 West of the 2nd Principal Meridian, Wabash County, Ill. In 1866 he purchased 40 acres for $390 from George Schearer described as the N.E. 1/4 of the N.E. 1/4 of Section 29. This acreage was formerly owned by Henry Boden, whose sister Carolina E. Boden married John Fornoff, Sr. See Branch II, Boden Family, page 356. George purchased another 80 acre tract, the date and price of purchase not actually confirmed, located about two miles south of Lancaster, Illinois, described as the E. 1/2 of the N.E. 1/4 of Section 16. See map on page 61.
George Stoltz was a civic-minded citizen. He had a strong belief in the education of the children of the community and was a strong supporter of the Jordan Creek Lutheran Church located about two miles north of his home, near Lancaster, Illinois. In September of 1852, George was listed as a subscriber to the Jordan Creek Lutheran Church Club whose function pertained to the church's finances. In 1853 he was elected a trustee of the Jordan Creek Lutheran Church, a position he retained for twelve years.
In April of 1874 George was elected Trustee of Schools for Township 1 N., Range 13 West, Wabash County, Illinois. He held this position for two consecutive terms. He was instrumental in organizing School District #10 for Stoltz Prairie, the name given the vicinity where the Stoltz's lived. The nearest schools to Stoltz Prairie were Buzzard Roost, Cabbage Corner, Lick Prairie, Armstrong and Long Prairie. See map, page 61. The school district was duly formed and established by general law and was called Stoltz School. Three school trustees or directors were elected. The map on page 61 shows Stoltz School District #10's boundary by dotted lines. On 11 April 1870 George Stoltz and wife Margaret conveyed by warranty deed to trustees of Stoltz School District #10 a 100 foot square off the N.E. corner of the E. 1/2 of the S.E. 1/4 of Section 20, Township 1 North, Range 13 West of the 2nd Principal Meridian, Lick Prairie Precinct, Wabash County, Illinois, for the sum of $5 for said tract of land to be used for school purposes and said property to revert back to the original property when abandoned for school purposes: filed and recorded 24 June 1871, 11 A.M. at the Wabash County Court House, Mt. Carmel, Ill. A log school house was promptly constructed and the first school session was held in the spring of 1872. Several years later the log school house caught fire and burned. A new frame building was constructed about 26' x 42' facing east. School was held in the building until the close of the school year in 1925. My mother and her brother and sisters attended this school. In 1925 it was sold to Norman Stoltz whose farm was one-fourth mile south of the school site. A new school building was immediately constructed facing north. In 1939 this building caught tire from an overheated coal furnace and burned, destroying all of the school's records. A new modern school building was erected on the same site with a basement and ventilated heating system. School was held in this building until 1948 when the district became a part of the Consolidated Wabash Community Unit #348, thus ending 75 years of service to the community and youth of Stoltz Prairie. The Stoltz School building after the consolidation was moved to Lancaster and used for the sixth grade. A few years later the building was purchased by the Ruritan Club and moved to its present location in Lancaster, Illinois.
From the records that were available at the Wabash County Court House, family records, and memory of older natives of Stoltz School District #10, a partial listing of teachers was obtained. Rural schools at this time and until about 1900 conducted a fall term, a winter term, and a spring term, making the school year a total of four to eight months. It is unfortunate that the name of the first teacher and several subsequent teachers of Stoltz School are unknown. It is known, however, that Sam A. Mayne and William Wetzel taught one or more school years, but the dates are unknown. Both of these men later became county superintendent of schools. The first county superintendent of school's office was located at Friendsville, Illinois. Friendsville at this early date was considered a large town, boasting of two doctors, an ice house, a grist mill, a feed store, two general merchandise stores, and a United States post office.

George Stoltz was an ardent Democrat. He was well respected and was regarded as a good citizen. His warm and friendly manner made him very popular with his friends and neighbors. In the latter years of his life he was affectionately called 'Grandpa Stoltz'.
George's farm, the original Stoltz homestead, was sold to Joshua Utherland, appraised value of $2400 or S.30 per acre. The estate was settled 1 May 1893. The estate included 20 acres of timberland valued at $350. When Joshua Litherland died this farm was purchased by his son William Litherland, who married second Minnie Stallings, granddaughter of Andrew Stoltz, the second son of Johann George Stoltz. See Number 642. This farm is currently awned by Mrs. Minnie Litherland and her son Loren and daughter Roberta. At this date (1979) only two of the original Adam Johann Stoltz's farms remain in the Stoltz family. George's, above, and his brother Adam Stoltz's, now owned by and Mrs. Lilly (Stoltz) Gehret and her two daughters.
George Stoltz and Margaret Hinkle had thirteen children all born at Stoltz Prairie, Wabash County, Illinois.

Following is a brief record of the Hinkle family lineage, the maternal ancestry of Margaret Hinkle, wife of Johann George Stoltz, as an allied family to Johann George Stoltz's family.
THE HINKLE LINEAGE
Note: A considerable amount of information was found on the ancestors in the Hinkle lineage, but unfortunately that information could not be entered here because of copyright and other publication restrictions on the material. For those interested in pursuing further their ancestral lineage in the Hinkle family, the information is available in the publication "The Hinkle Genealogy" compiled by William and Minnie Junkin and is on file in the Rowan Public Library, Salisbury, North Carolina. This publication has traced the lineage back to the early 1500's. Information of our own research from family, church, and public records, although meager, follows.
Margaret Hinkle, wife of Johann George Stoltz, was born 1 February 1821 in Rowan County, North Carolina. Her father was Peter Hinkle III, born 10 September 1796, and her mother was Elizabeth Wilson, born about 1800. Peter Hinkle III and Elizabeth Wilson (his first wife) had two children, both born in Rowan County, North Carolina: (1) *Margaret, born in 1821, and (2) Andrew, born about 1823. Andrew Hinkle had a son, Clarence Edward Hinkle. Clarence Edward Hinkle had a son, John Hinkle. John Hinkle had two sons: (1) Eddie Arnold Hinkle and (2) William Roy Hinkle.

William and Eva (Draper) Hinkle have four children: (1) Chad Allen, born 25 September 1969, (2) Lance Ray, born 20 July 1973, (3) Nichole Lee, born 30 July 1974, and (4) Clinton Ace, born 11 February 1980.
Peter Hinkle III's first wife, Elizabeth Wilson, died in 1824 and Peter married second Magdalena Zink. Peter III and Magdalena had two sons: (1) Jacob and (2) John. Jacob Hinkle married first Clarissa Glick. They had two children: (1) John and (2) Emma. Clarissa Glick died 6 January 1856; burial is at the Moravian Cemetery, West Salem, Illinois, and Jacob Hinkle married second Elvira Hedrick. Jacob and Elvira had three children: (1) Mary, (2) Lucy, (3) Edgar. Jacob Hinkle died in 1918 and Elvira died in 1923. Both are buried in the Moravian Cemetery, West Salem, Illinois.
Peter Hinkle III and Magdalena's other son, John Hinkle, was born in 1830. No other information on John.
It was sometime around 1830 that Peter Hinkle III left North Carolina and came to West Salem, Illinois, where he purchased land and operated a blacksmith shop. His second wife, Magdalena Zink, died and Peter III married her sister, Susannah Zink. Peter III and Susannah Hinkle had ten children, all born near West Salem, Illinois: (1) Franklin, born 13 September 1832. He married first Lucy Caroline Percy and second Lizzie Curtiss. (2) Ellen, born 1834. (3) Hamilton, born 21 December 1836. Hamilton did not marry. He was killed in the civil war. (4) William, born 1838; died 1853. (5) Harrison, born 1840. (6) David, born 1843. (7) Suzan, born 1845. She married Henry Rothrock. (8) Emeline; died as an infant. (9) Francis, born in 1852. He married Martha Mercer. (10) Lora, born 1853.

641. HENRY STOLTZ was born 16 December 1841 at Stoltz Prairie, Wabash County, Illinois, the son of George Johann and Margaret (Hinkle) Stoltz. Henry probably attended Buzzard Roost rural school. He was a member of the Jordan Creek Lutheran Church, but later when the church was discontinued, he transferred his membership to the Nye Chapel United Brethren Church.
Henry Stoltz married Hester E. Deischer 17 August 1865 in Wabash County, Illinois. Hester Deischer was born 17 June 1841 in ' Wabash County, Illinois. Hester was always called 'Ester'. She was the daughter of William Deischer, born 25 December 1810 in Pennsylvania, and Sarah Deisher (note spelling), born in Pennsylvania. Sarah Deisher was the daughter of Peter Deisher and ‘_____’ Fegley of Pennsylvania. William and Sarah (Deisher) Deischer were married 1 May 1838 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. They lived south of Lancaster, Wabash County, Illinois. William was a farmer. He and Sarah had six children:
(1) Amelia, born 1839 in Pennsylvania, (2) *Hester, (3) Mary, born 1844, (4) Daniel, born February 1845, (5) Sarah, born 20 April 1849, and (6) Almira, born 27 April 1857. Hester, as noted above, married Henry Stoltz. Her sister, Almira, married Henry's younger brother, John Hamilton Stoltz. See Number 64-10, page
Sarah Deischer is buried at the Jordan Creek Lutheran Cemetery, southwest of Lancaster, Illinois. After Sarah's death, William married second Elizabeth Shearer, a widow. They divorced with no children. William married third Diana Penston Rose, a widow. They had no children. William Deischer died 17 November 1876; burial at Jordan Creek Lutheran Church.
William Deischer's father was Jacob Deischer, born 20 September 1764 in Pennsylvania, and his mother was Catharine Rothermel, born 20 May 1771. Jacob Deischer died 15 July 1823 and Catharine died 14 September 1823. Burial is in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
Five years after his marriage, Henry Stoltz purchased his first 40 acre tract of land from Zariah Walters in December 1870 for $600. This farm was located in the N.E. 1/4 of the S.W. 1/4 of Section 29, Township 1 North, Range 13 West of the 2nd Principal Meridian of Lick Prairie Precinct, Wabash County, Illinois. On 14 June 1876, Henry purchased an 80 acre tract of land from his father-in-law, William Deischer, for $1400. This farm was located in the W. 112 of the S.W. 1/4 of Section 29. In 1877 Henry Stoltz sold 40 acres of his land to Daniel Deisher. This was the first tract of land he had purchased in 1870 from Zariah Walters. On 31 December 1892, Henry purchased from his father's estate 40 acres for $500 described as follows: N.E. 1/4 of N.E. 1/4, Section 29. Henry lived and farmed in the Lick Prairie Precinct until 1891, then moved to a farm near Sand Barrens, a small settlement about two miles west of St. Francisville, Lawrence County, Illinois. That same year he sold to his son, William George Stoltz, 20 acres of his 80 acre farm in the S.W. 1/4 of Section 29, Lick Prairie Precinct, for $600. Henry and Ester lived on the farm near St. Francisville until 1912. They then moved into St. Francisville where they lived until their deaths.
Henry Stoltz died 4 December 1917 and Ester died 22 January 1913. Both are buried at Gards Point Cemetery, Nye Chapel Church, Wabash County, Illinois.
Henry and Ester Stoltz had five children all born in Lick Prairie Precinct, Wabash County, Illinois.

6411. WILLIAM GEORGE STOLTZ, born 5 September 1867 in Lick Prairie Precinct, Wabash County, Illinois, was the son of Henry and Ester (Deischer) Stoltz. See Number 641, page 511. William Stoltz as a boy attended Stoltz School and perhaps Nye Chapel and the Christian Church at Lick Prairie, a couple miles from his home. William helped his father farm until his marriage.
William Stoltz married Nellie R. Williams 18 October 1891, Wabash County, Illinois. Nellie was the daughter of Arthur Williams and Esther E. Williams. They were first cousins. Nellie (Williams) Stoltz had an only sister, Mattie Williams, who married Charles 'Doc' Miller, a cousin to Amy Nelgin who married Henry Stoltz. See Branch II, Number 6252, page 390. Charles and Mattie Miller lived one-and-one-half miles west of Friendsville, Illinois, on a farm of 80 acres; 40 acres south of the road and 40 acres north of the road. On the map on page 61 this land is identified as being owned by Joseph Preston and Abner Litherland. Charles and Mattie Miller had no children.
William Stoltz was always called 'Bill'. The same year of his marriage he purchased 20 acres of land from his father and started farming for himself in the S.W. 1/4 of Section 29. Later he acquired the total 80 acre tract; the Y. 112 of the S. W. 1/4 of Section 29. On the map on page 61, 40 acres is shown under the name Zack Walters. Bill was a successful farmer and was well respected among friends and neighbors. William was a devoted Democrat, as were most of the Stoltzes at that time. Bill had a fine herd of milch cows and a registered bull. One day Bill was charged and gored by the bull. He called for help and his wife by some miracle managed to hold the bull at bay with a pitchfork and the help of the farm dog. The injuries Bill received were critical and caused his death within a few days.
William and Nellie Stoltz were members of the Christian Church of Lick Prairie. William died 3 April 1927 and Nellie died in 1950. Both are buried at Rose Hill Cemetery, Mt. Carmel, Wabash County, Illinois. William and Nellie Stoltz had two children both born on the farm home at Lick Prairie Precinct, Wabash County, Illinois.

6412. OLLIE MAY STOLTZ, born 1 May 1870 in Lick Prairie Precinct, Wabash County, Illinois, was the daughter of Henry and Ester Deischer Stoltz. See Number 641, page 511. Ollie May attended Stoltz School and Ny Chapel United Brethren Church. She married Gideon Gardner 16 March 1890. Gideon, or 'Gid' as he was called, was born in 1867 in Wabash County, Illinois. He was the son of Allen and Sarah Armstrong Gardner.
Gid and Ollie May Gardner lived the first house north of the Nye Chapel Church on the west side of the road. Gid was a farmer and operated a cane press and made molasses. At the death of Ollie his wife, Sid moved in with his sister Ida Gardner who lived on the Gardner home place about one-fourth mile north of the Nye Chapel Church. Ida Gardner never married. She took care of her mother until she died and then she took care of Gid until his death.
Gideon and Ollie May Gardner had no children. Ollie May died 25 October 1933. Both she and Gid are buried at Gards Point Cemetery, Nye Chapel Church, Wabash County, Illinois.
6414. EFFIE ALMIRA STOLTZ, born 3 April 1882 in Lick Prairie Precinct, Wabash County, Illinois, was the daughter of Henry and Ester (Deischer) Stoltz. See Number 641, page 511. Effie probably attended Stoltz or Lick Prairie School for three or four years.
