Township of McNab Mourns Old Resident
Special to The Journal
Arnprior, July 8
McNab township lost a well-known citizen and a life-long resident in the death on Friday of Carl Frederick Runtz, at the age of 83 years. Although he had been in ill-health for six months, his death caused deep regret among his wide circle of friends in the district.

Born in Germany in 1851, Mr. Runtz came to Canada with his parents when 18 years of age, and had lived practically all his life in McNab. He was married to Amelia Scheels (sic) in 1873, who predeceased him eight years ago. Surviving are two sons and three daughters: Alex of Arnprior and Henry at home; Mrs. August Kuehl, of Killaloe; Mrs. Charles Speaker, of Kitchener, and Mrs. Lester Neill, of McNab.

Runts, for sixty-four years a resident of McNab, was held on Sunday afternoon from the home of his son, Henry, to the First Baptist church; Arnprior, Rev. A. E. Jaster, pastor, officiating. The deceased was born in Falkenstein, Germany, and came to Canada with his parents .aa a young man of 18 years of age, and he was one of the pioneers in McNab .township.
     The late Mr. Runtz was predeceased by his beloved wife, eight /years ago, who before her marriage was Miss Amelia Scheel of McNab.
     The deceased leaves three daughters and two sons, namely, Mrs. August Kuehl of Killaloe, Ont; Mrs. Charles Speaker of Kitchener, Ont; Mrs. Lester Neil McNab; Mr. Henry Runts of McNab and Mr. Alex. Runtz of Arnprior. Two brothers and one sister also survive. They are Mr. Ferdinand Runtz and Mr. William Runt; both of McNab, and Mrs. John Zummach. of Killaloe, Ont. The deceased was in his 84th year when he passed away in the after-noon of July the 6th, the cause of death being dropsy.
     The, long funeral procession was an evidence of the great esteem for the. deceased by a wide circle of friends in Renfrew county.
     Interment was in the Arnprior cemetery and the pallbearers were Messrs. August Meyer, Ferdinand. Scheel, William Runtz, Herman Scheel, Wm. Scheel and William Arnott.7


     The following obituary appeared in the newspaper The Arnprior Chronicle published in Arnprior, Ontario 19 July 1934:
Carl Frederick William Runtz
     Among those who from (sic) out of town who attended the funeral of the late Carl Frederick William Runtz of McNab on Sunday, July 8th were Mrs. Lena Zummach, Mr. and Mrs. August Kuehl, Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Kuehl, Mr. and Mrs. John Zummach and family, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Zummach and family, Mr. and Mrs. J. D.

     The following analysis is from my personal research and reflects my attempts to consolidate information from different sources.
It appears that Carolina Runtz , daughter of Charles Frederick Able and Lena Risk, was actually their foster daughter. Based upon her identification as a sister of Carolina Runtz, her biological parents were William Runtz and Charlotte Abel. Were Charles Able and Charlotte Able siblings?14

     Research notes:
Issues to be
     researched:He married Whilhelmina Runtz after her first husband Frederick died in 1913. That would make August's daughter Violet also a step daughter, although the census shows her as a daughter.
     Is the following tombstone for this August and Minnie. If so, the dates are off so other facts need to be reviewed.

Pedigree
Last Edited28 Aug 2024
     She was born in 1820 or 1821 at Germany died at age 77.2,3 Charlotte married John F. W. Runtz before 1843.4,5 Charlotte married William Runtz before 1848 at Prussia/Preußen (modern Germany).6,7,8,5 Charlotte married Frederick Michelson.9
     Johanna Charlotte Runz died on 31 October 1897 at Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada, according to Ontario Death Registration 012502.2 The informant on her death registration was Robert Hein Jr.2
     She was commonly known as Caroline according to her son Ferdinand's marriage registration.10
     William and Charlot Runtz appeared on the 1871 Canadian Census of Sebastopol Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, enumerated 2 April 1871. William was described as a Farmer and a Baptist.. Their children, Auguste, Wilhelmine, Ferdinand, Frederick, Carl and Willam, were listed as living with them. As was his wodowed father, David Runtz.11
     Charlotte Runz was recorded as the mother of the bridegroom at the marriage of Carl Runz and Minnie Hein on 17 January 1881.12
     Johannah appeared on the 1881 Canadian Census of McNab Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, in the household of William Runz and Mina Runz.3 In the death registration of Karl August Runz who died on 2 September 1909, Charlotte Abel was identified as Karl August's mother.1 In the death registration of Willam Runtz, who died on 6 February 1942, Charlotte Able was identified as his mother.9
     Charlotte Abel is referenced in my analysis of Carolina Runtz and Carl Frederick William Runtz in June 2018; It appears that Carolina Runtz , daughter of Charles Frederick Able and Lena Risk, was actually their foster daughter. Based upon her identification as a sister of Carl Frederick William Runtz, her biological parents were William Runtz and Charlotte Abel. Were Charles Able and Charlotte Able siblings?13
     Research notes (July 2021):
Were Charlotte Abel and Charles Frederick Able siblings? It appears that Charles and his wife raised the daughter of Charlotte.14

MRS. FERDINAND BLOEDOW
     The death occurred in Winnipeg on Aug, 2nd of Mrs. Ferdinand Bloedow who passed away in a city hospital. Although not in robust health for a number of years her death came as a great shock to her relatives and ninny friends. Just a few weeks previous to her death her sister, Mrs. Ferdinand Scheel, returned home after spending several weeks at her home. Deceased who before her marriage was Miss Lena Runtz, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Runtz, was born in McNab township 55 years ago and was married in Arnprior to Rev. F. A. Bloedow on May 31st, 1905. Following the marriage they went west where they have since resided.

August F. Runtz of Peoria, Ill; two sisters, Mrs. William Homuth, Arnprior, and Mrs. Ferdinand Scheel, McNab, along with two lithe grandchildren. One grandchild, Norman Schirrmacher, predeceased her several weeks ago, which had the effect of causing her sudden illness.
     The funeral was from her late residence, 479 Arlington St., Winnipeg, to the McDermett Baptist church which was largely attended and the many beautiful floral offerings showed the love and esteem in which the deceased was held.4

Pedigree
Father*Robert Hein2
Mother*Fredericka Abel2
Last Edited13 Sep 2024
     She was born circa 1861 at Schroenrade, Prussia/Preußen (modern Germany).3,2,4,5 Minnie married Carl Runz on 17 January 1881 at Lyndoch Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, CanadaG, according to Ontario Marriage Registration 010077.6,7,2,8,4,5
     Other information from their marriage registration:
His parent(s) were listed as William Runz and Charlotte Runz. Her parents were listed as Robert Hein and Frederica Hein.2

     Handwriting varies and her name may be interpreted as Mary Hein, in her son Robert's marriage registration.8
     Charles and Minney Runz appeared on the 1881 Canadian Census of Lyndoch Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, enumerated 4 April 1881. Charles was described as a Baptist and a Farmer..4
     Charlis and Mena Runz appeared on the 1891 Canadian Census of Lyndoch Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, enumerated circa 12 April 1891. Charlis was described as a farmer and "F. W. Bapt".5
     In the obituary of William J. F. Runtz who died circa 1 April 1957, his parents, Karl August Runz and Amelia Runtz were listed or implied as predeceased.9
     The following analysis is from my personal research and reflects my attempts to consolidate information from different sources.
I assume that the Carl Runtz, husband of the Mary, who died in 1872, was the same person that later married Minnie.10

After dinner had been served, and while the guests still remained seated around the table, J. W. Ridd made a few congratulatory remarks respecting the bride, and proposed that the guests present convey their congratulations and also their best mattes to the bride and bridegroom by drinking a cup of tea to their honour. This was done, after which Mr. Colton heartily resounded. Mr. Isaac Sutton then proposed that the congratulations of the guests present be conveyed to the ladies, and that their health be drunk in tho same manner. This was done, and Mr. A. Daykin was asked to respond in behalf of the ladies, which he did in a very gentlemanly manner. After , dinner was all over, the party again engaged in music, singing, recitations &c., until an unknown hour, after winch all returned to their homes, feeling, that they had enjoyed themselves to their utmost capacity, but none more desirous that another wedding should occur the next day, as rest was the most desirable.
