p1080: "John W. Stultz is now in his twenty-eighth year, his birth having occurred
August 26, 1857. He was reared on a farm here, receiving a good common school
education... October 16, 1880, Mr. Stultz was united in marriage with Miss Ada Buckner,
who was born in Hanover, Germany. One daughter of this union is living, Mary; their
only son, James B., who was born September 30, 1881, having died August 20, 1882."
"July 6 (1885) - ...John Stultz shoots and kills William Simmons at Weston."
(My William would have been 23, just the right age to get shot...but he didn't die!)
