SHULTZ, Max
Source: The obituary is from a collection of newspaper (paper names not recorded) obituaries saved, by Fauniel Hershberger, during the 1950's, 60's, 70's and 80's. She was a life long resident of Fountain County Indiana. The collection is now housed at Crawfordsville District Public Library.
The Presbyterian church at Newtown, although crowded to the limit of its capacity, would not admit all the friends who assembled to attend the funeral rites held for Max Shultz, young farmer and former 4-H Club champion, who was killed in an automobile accident Sunday afternoon. Services were held at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, with the Rev. Mr. Ward, pastor of the church, presiding. It was one of the largest attended funerals ever held in Fountain county. Burial was in Newtown cemetery. So large was the attendance at the cemetery that it was impossible to get all the automobiles into the burial grounds. Many were parked along the roads leading to the cemetery. The pallbearers were: Walter Bell, who was in the car with Max when the accident occurred; James Whiteside, Jack Alfrey, Jack Young, Robert Milligan and Dick Kirkman. Flower girls were: Lora Frances Lackey, Phyllis Peveler, Twyla June Bell, Maxine Gray, Arle Arlena McCauley, and June Kerr, all of Newtown; Marjorie Milligan, Mary Alice VanReed, Vada and Thelma Jane Cox, Mari Anne LeVor, Mary Lou Robinson, Pat Harrison, Ruth Miller, Chrystine Brown and Mrs. LeRoy Slauter, of Attica. --typed by Walt W
