Mrs. Schutz was survived by the astonishing number of 52 grandchildren, 89 great-grandchildren and 16 great-great-grandchildren. A hard working farmer's wife, she devoted her entire adult existence to her husband, until he died in 1936, and her family. Even as she passed 90, she remained an active woman. On the family ranch 14 miles southwest of Ritzville Mrs. Schutz maintanied her own flower garden, watering and cultivating it, and spent much of her life sewing and crocheting. But her greatest delight was to be with members of her own family, particularly the smaller children. Mrs. Schutz had spent an active day Saturday and was planning to come to Ritzville to shop for groceries Saturday evening until she decided she was not feeling as good as she might. Sometime Saturday night the 92-year-old lady suffered a stroke. She was taken to the hospital in Ritzville Sunday morning but lived only 15 minutes more, passing away about 10:45 a.m. All except five of her 52 grandchildren were among the family members who attended the funeral services Wednesday afternoon at the Philadelphia Congregational church. The Rev. R. Kirschenmann officiated. Burial was in the Saloma (Salem) Church cemetery. Mrs. Schutz had been born in Russia in 1860, a year before the Civil War broke out in the United States. In Russia she was married to Gottlieb Schutz. When they came to America in 1898, all except one of their 12 children had been born. The last, Gotthilf, was born here a year or two after their arrival. They had six sons and six daughters. The family settled on the ranch where Mrs. Schutz was to live for the rest of her life. The home place is now operated by the youngest son, Gotthilf. Five other children survived - Mrs. Rebecca Beak of Zillah, Mrs. Emanuel Grams and Mrs. Rudolph Plager of Ritzville, Gottlieb Schutz of Kennewick, and John Schutz of Toppenish. Most of the 52 grandchildren are scattered through the northwest. Many live at Tacoma, Spokane and Wenatchee. The farthest away is Herb Rauter, a resident of Santa Anna, Calif. Mrs. Schutz traveled only infrequently. The longest trip she made was to the Dakotas many years ago. She was an active member of the Philadelphia Congregational church, attending as frequently as possible. Mrs. Schutz would have been 93 years old next Friday, Aug. 7.
