Yesterday, we began looking at my great grandfather's brother, Samuel Lantz. We covered his life in census records (with a few others thrown in) through the 1880 census. Today, we will conclude the installment on him.
From several records below, we know that Samuel and Elizabeth moved from Michigan to Missouri. Information from family members indicates that it was about 2 miles south and a little east of Holden in Johnson County. These people say that they lived there from about 1882 to 1885 before moving on to McPherson County, Kansas, where Samuel's father Levi died and is buried. We pick up their trail again in the 1895 Kansas census.

Samuel's wife Elizabeth died in 1932. She is buried in the Blakely Cemetery in Madison, Greenwood County, Kansas. Find-a-Grave has a photo of the double tombstone.
Samuel moved in with his son Levi at some point. They moved to Oklahoma, which must have been somewhat difficult for a man of his age.

Samuel died 24 May 1941 in Stigler, Haskell County, Oklahoma according to family sources. He was taken back to Kansas to be buried beside his wife in the Blakely Cemetery in Madison. The year 1941 is supported by his tombstone which is online at Find-A-Grave.
Find A Grave, memorial 28120213, digital image, (http://www.findagrave.com : accessed 16 Sept 2012), photograph, gravestone for Samuel E. (1848-1941) and Elizabeth (1850-1932) Lantz, Blakely Cemetery, Madison, Greenwood County, Kansas.
I've still got lots of work to do on Samuel and his family, but the information I dug up has provided additional details on the life of both Samuel and his brother Jeptha. Jeptha is apparently also buried at Blakely Cemetery. There is a 1932 date of death on his Find a Grave memorial, but no one has yet taken a photograph of his marker.
