ABE SCHULTZ

Abe Schultz was born to David H. A. and Marguerite Reimer Schultz on April 1, 1906 in Beach, North Dakota. In 1917 he moved with his parents to their homestead on Retah Table near Richey, Mont. He received his elementary education at Beach and at the Divide School on Retah Table. He attended Mountain Lake, Minn. for two years. He also attended the Bible Institute of Los Angeles for one year.

Upon confession of faith on August 31, 1919, he was baptized and became a member of the Bethlehem Mennonite church, of which he was a faithful and active member.

On June 12, 1932, he was united in marriage to Katherine Sawatzky. To this union were born five children. In the fall of 1955 they moved to Glendive. He was actively engaged in farming all his life.

His mother, two sisters, and one brother preceded him in death.

He passed away very suddenly around 2:15 Sunday morning, Dec 6, at the Northern Pacific Hospital in Glendive, Mont. of a massive heart attack, at the age of 53 years, eight months, and six days. He leaves to mourn his passing his beloved wife, Katherine; his son and daughter-in-law, Myron and Phyllis of Bloomfield, Mont., his son, Harold, attending Bethel college at North Newton, Kansas; three daughters, Marguerite, engaged in voluntary service at the Children's Center in Laurel, Maryland, Bernice and Noreen at home; his father and step-mother, two brothers, three sisters, two half-brothers and two half-sisters, two grandchildren. Duane and Eileen; also numerous nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

We as a family are grateful to God for the years H allowed us to share together. We miss our father greatly, but we thank God for His sustaining hand through this parting.

A memorial fund in his memory has been established for the General Conference Mennonite mission field at Champa, India.
