G of the 124th IN Infantry during the Civil War per list of veteran burials in Nebraska. -------------------------------------------- The Plattsmouth Journal Oct. 20, 1930 Long Time Resident of County Dies at Elmwood M. W. Waltz Dies at Home Where He has Resided for a Great Many Years - Old Veteran Martin M Waltz was born at Lebanon, PA, Nov. 17, 1845, and passed peacefully and triumphantly to his reward from his home in Elmwood, on Oct. 9, 1930, having reached the age of 84 years, 10 months and 22 days. He had been feeling exceptionally well during the day and had eaten a hearty meal at noon and was in a cheerful frame of mind. He went to lie down for his usual noon rest when quietly and suddenly the end of this long and useful life came. When 13 years of age, he came with his parents to Randolph County, Ind. In 1863, he enlisted in Company "G" 124th Indiana Infantry belonging to the Division known as General Hovey's "Babies," because of their tender age, Mr. Waltz being 18 at the time of enlistment. He was in a number of battles, including that of Kenasaw Mountain. A short time prior to the close of the war he was taken prisoner. Their headquarters were being moved and he and a comrade had been dispatched back to recover some books that had been left behind. They succeeded in getting the books and were on their way back, when they were captured. Their books were destroyed and they were marched across the country, presumably to a prisoner camp. But before they arrived, their captors had learned the war had ended. Their prisoners were released and eventually got back to Ridgeville, Ind., where the next few years Mr. Waltz was engaged in farming, and in milling a part of the time while in resident of that place. August 3, 1871 he was united in marriage to Margaret Mendenahall. Two of their children, Albert H. and Elizabeth B., were born at Ridgeville. They came to Nebraska in Feb. 1878, and lived on a farm of William Clustesen, and three years on a farm near Syracuse. At this place their son Charles Wesley, was born. In 1882, they came to Cass county, purchasing a farm 3 miles east of Elmwood, which became the birthplace of their three youngest children: Myrtle B., Thomas Harrison and Oliver M. In 1915, they moved to Elmwood. In September, the mother passed away. In 1920, Mr. Waltz was married to Mrs. Sarah Miller, but after one year, the wife was again taken by death. In 1923, he was married to Mrs. Harnsberger, who survives. Besides his wife and six children there are nine grandchildren, one brother, Samuel Waltz, of Ridgeville, Ind.; four sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Hostettler and Mrs. Sallie Houcek, both of Winchester, Ind.; Mrs. Kate Brown of Grand Island, Nebraska; and Mrs. Rebecca Cox of Appleton, Wash., and a host of friends to mourn his departure. With his passing the last member, of the Kenasaw Post No. 123 G. A. R., has answered the final summons. The remaining member is his comrade and dear friend, Mr. Peter Eveland. Mr. Waltz was always an active member of a church in whatever community he resided. He was for many years a member of the Baptist and Christian churches, and the past 10 years of the Methodist church. His name remains on the official list. He was faithful to the end. He was held in high esteem by those who knew him. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church, Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. A. Klein. Internment was made in Elmwood cemetery. ------Elmwood Leader-Echo. Link provided by contributor Michelle Hesse
