"Bert" Scholz, 72, lifelong Whitman County resident, died of pneumonia Monday at the Whitman Hospital and Medical Center in Colfax, Wash. He was born June 27, 1925, to Albert and Elizabeth Mackleit Scholz on the family farm near Colfax. He attended the Shrolls School, which was located on the South Palouse River Road near Colfax, until the sixth grade. He then attended the Hamilton School in Colfax and graduated from Colfax High School in 1943. After graduation he was given a military deferment in order to work on the family farm since both of his siblings were already in the service. He enlisted in the Army in 1946 and served a tour in Korea. After his discharge in 1947 he returned to Whitman County and attended Washington State College for three years. He married Lois Cook on Nov. 25, 1950, in Pullman, Wash. At that time he took over the operation of the family farm east of Colfax. They made that their family home their entire married life. Scholz had served as a member of the Whitman County Library Board that approved and supervised the building of the current library in Colfax. He was an active member of the North South Palouse Grange. He was a former member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Colfax Elks Lodge, and Toastmasters. Scholz was a farmer and producer in the Whitman County Association of Wheat Growers and the Palouse Conservation District, where he was recently selected as Conservation Farmer of the Year. He was active in the Democratic Party, serving as Whitman County treasurer and precinct committee man for several years. He, along with several other area farmers, were charter members of the International Flying Farmers group of Colfax. Scholz was an avid snow skier, an able photographer, and enjoyed traveling. In 1992, he suffered a stroke, but continued to be an active partner in the operation of the family farm. He also wrote letters to the editor and articles for the local papers. He is survived by his wife at the family farm near Colfax; two sons, Todd Scholz of Colfax and Theodore Scholz of City of Industry, Calif.; one daughter, Elizabeth Chura of Fort Collins, Colo.; three sisters, Winifred Earhart of Carmichael, Calif., Virginia Burger of Spokane and Audrey Nelson of Eugene, Ore.; and six grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Howard Scholz. Memorial services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the united Methodist Church of Colfax with the Rev. Don Shipley officiating. The family suggests memorials be gifts to the Colfax Cemetery Tree Fund, in care of Dorla Scholz or to the Whitman County Library. The Bruning Funeral Home of Colfax, Wash. is in charge of arrangements. -------------------------
