Herman Ferdinand Matz was born September 12, 1882 and died on January 2, 1906 at 2 p.m. in his home at Lewisville, Ohio. Herman was an active member of the Middle church choir, a faithful teacher in the Sunday School, a young man whose loss will be kindly felt by his many friends. He is the youngest son of Louis and Christina Matz. About November 1, 1906 he became sick, and after almost two months of severe illness was thought to be on the road to recovery, when he was again obliged to take to his bed and after a few weeks of illness it became evident that he was not to recover. All that human aid and neighborly love could do was done, but in vain. At all times cheerful and of good spirits he bore the cross that was laid upon him until it was taken from him and he entered the eternal home of the blessed. His father, four brothers and seven sisters mourn his departure. His mother having preceded him to the eternal rest. Herman was laid to rest in the Middle Church cemetery on January 4, 1906.
