His obituary in the Carroll Free Press, Carrollton, Ohio, Wednesday, August 24, 1898.
David Gantz, this old well known citizen departed this life at the home of his only daughter, Mrs. Robert McMillen, in Uhrichsville, Ohio, Thursday evening, the 18th of August, 1898, after nearly three weeks of illness, of first attack, with cholera morbus that rapidly assumed the dysenteric form that with age caused his demise.
He was born February 15, 1821, on the farm of his parents within one mile of Carrollton. He came and learned the silversmith trade and afterwards, in September, 1848, was married to Miss Mary A. Patton, of which marriage four sons and one daughter were born, the two youngest sons and the daughter survive their parents, the mother having died in 1881. His years prevented him from following his trade, then engaged in a moderate green house trade for support. Was a firm friend of his selected few, a man of sober habits, cautious, hopeful, and fixed in his views. An unyielding Democrat, but not demonstrative, very seldom voting for a man on the opposite ticket. Became deeply interested in reading daily papers touching the Spanish war. He was of a family of nine brothers and three sisters alone surviving him. In his last painful illness, called for the M. E. minister, Rev. Wilson, to come and pray for him, and with him professing faith in the Redeemer, ready and prepared to die. His remains were prepared and brought home to Carrollton Friday last and interred on Saturday alongside his deceased wife in Grandview Cemetery, Rev. Moore, officiating minister.
