Matz, Lewis E. Matz (see 2nd obituary below) Source--newsclipping Lewis E. Matz was born February 14, 1866. Lewis and Anna Barbara Egger were married on Thursday, May 24, 1894 by Reverend J.R. Meuller in the {bride's] parents home, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Egger, at 3:30 p.m.. Anna was born on Egger Ridge on Woodsfield, Rt.3. She was the daughter of Samuel and Magdalena Christman Egger. Lewis was a prominent attorney in the city of Woodsfield, Ohio. He and Anna were lifelong Woodsfield residents. Attorney L.E. Matz was president of The Monroe County Shenandoah Trail Association, trustee of The Ohio Good Roads Federation, member of the Monroe County Bar Association, St. Paul's Evangelical and Reformed Church, and Monroe Lodge No.189, F&AM. Lewis was a pioneer "good roads" advocate in Monroe County and had given generously of time and money in helping the county out of the mud and connected up with the State System. Anna died at the age of 73, about 7:30 Wednesday evening, October 7, 1936 at her home on Maple Avenue in Woodsfield. She died of coronary thrombosis. She was a member of St. Paul's Evangelical and Reformed Church and a member of the Senior Women's Union of that church. Anna was primarily interested in her home, family and church. She was a woman of many sterling qualities, capable and self-reliant. It is there she was best known and loved. Funeral services were held at the Evangelical Church .In charge was Rev. Henry Fox. Interment was in Oaklawn Cemetery. Article published by the Monroe County Historical Society in 1984 Louis E. Matz In seeking a lawyer the would-be client invariably desires to place his business with an attorney who knows the law, is well versed in decisions and can manange a case in all its details to the very best advantage. Among the several attorneys of this class in Woodsfield will be found mr. L.E. Matz, than who there is no more prompt, careful and painstaking attorney in the county. All business entrusted to him is attended to in an entirely satisfactory manner. Like many other good men, Mr. Matz came from the farm and the teacher's desk. Born on his father's farm near Lewisville, Ohio, February 14th, 1866. Thus located his early educational advantages were limited to the common country schools; but his ambition to secure an education caused him to so improve his opportunities that at an early age he was prepared to teach. In this profession he had little or no trouble in securing some of the best schools in the vicinity of his home. By labor on the farm and in the school room he managed to procure funds for a better education. A few years after entering the teaching profession, he took up the study of law, to which he devoted as much time as he could spare from his other work. To complete his common education he took a college course at Lebanon, Warren County, Ohio, after which he came to Woodsfield in January 1892, and served as assistant probate law at this place. Shortly after opening an office at this place he formed a partnership with C.S. Buchanan, which continued for about two years. In July, 1895, he formed a partnership with Hon. James Watson; but as this partnership no longer exists, he is doing business for himself, and will take charge of cases in adjoining counties as well as at home. Mr. Matz speaks German as well as English, and for this reason alone his services are preferred in consultation and actual practice by many of our older German citizens. Office: In lower front room of Driggs House on Main Street. Residence: A fine new structure in the northern part of town in Woodsfield. L.E. Matz, died Sunday afternoon, August 17, 1952, age 86, in Bellaire Hospital. Bauer and Turner Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. Masonic services were held on Tuesday evening at 7:30 at Lewis's home on Maple Avenue. Services were held in the home Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 with additional services at two o'clock at St. Paul's Evangelical and Reformed Church. Rev. H.J. Kopke was the officiate and the Interment was in Oaklawn Cemetery. Three sons were born to Lewis and Anna Egger Matz; Capel, Edmund and Wallace.
Matz, Lewis E. Matz (2nd obituary) Source--Newsclipping On Sunday , August 17, 1952, Attorney Lewis E. Matz died shortly after 1:00 o'clock at the Bellaire City Hospital where he had been a patient for a few days for observation and treatment. While he had been in more or less retirement for several months, the "drive'' that characterized his long and useful life kept him active for a man of more than four-score years. Mrs. Matz was born on a farm near Lewisville, February 14, 1886, a son of Ludwig and Christina Matz. He attended the public school in his community and determined to develop his mental as well as physical powers. He became a clear, forceful thinker, which helped make him successful in his chosen profession of the Law, as well as aided him in solution of many business and community problems to which he gave unselfishly of his time, money and energy. He taught in Monroe County rural schools before entering Hobarth College in Cincinnati. As was the practice in his day, he "read Law" with a local firm, and was admitted to the bar in 1892. As an individual attorney, as a member of the firms of Matz and Kremer, and Matz and Matz, he practiced in local district and federal courts for nearly sixty years. He was a member of the Monroe County and Ohio State Bar Association. Mr. Matz was confirmed in the Evangelical faith and was faithful to his church obligations as was his unfailing practice in all relationships. For several years he served on the official board of his church, and was unusually active faithful attendant at worship services. Fraternally, Mr. Matz was a member of Monroe Lodge No.189 Free and Accepted Masons, becoming an entered apprentice on February 25, 1921. He was also a life member of the Zanesville Niks Lodge and a charter member of the Woodsfield Kiwanis Club. He served a term as president and was unusually active on its various committees, especially Public Affairs. His service as City Soliciter of Woodsfield, his interest in the progress and development of his community, especally in better roads, backed by his thoroughness in whatever he undertook, commanded attention and respect of those to whom he appealed and in his years of retirement he could survey with satisfaction many results of his efforts. On May 24, 1894, he was united in marriage with Miss Anna B. Egger, by Reverend J.R. Mueller, and they made their home in Woodsfield. She preceded him in death in 1936 as also did three brothers, Philip Christian and Herman; three sisters, Mrs. Chris (Louise) Leibfarth, Mrs. Fred (Amelia) Neuhart and Mrs. Amiel (Mary) Faber. Surviving are three sons, Attorney Edmund L. Matz, Bellaire; Attorney Chapel E. Matz and Wallace F. of Woodsfield and four sisters; Mrs. George L. (Lena) Christman, Mrs. Jacob (Rachel) Christman; Mrs. John (Elizabeth) Hines, of Lewisville; and Mrs. Elma Legg, of Massillon. There are also five grandchildren. Monroe Lodge 189 Free and Accepted Masons conducted ceremonial rites of the order at the late residence Tuesday evening at 7:30. Brief funeral services in charge of his pastor, Reverend Homer J. Kopke were held at the home Wednesday at 1:30 followed by final rites at St. Paul's Church at 2:00 o'clock. Interment was in Oaklawn Cemetery.
