It appears my husbands grandparents were on the same ship with many other Mennonite People. I have not found the ships list of people but they came from Russia in 1874. One set of grandparents was Bernhard P. "Bernard" DOB: 4/20/1858 and Susanna (Unruh) Jantz DOB: 10/30/1859. The went to Kansas, Lonetree Township also.His other set of grandparents were Tobias Andreas Schmidt and Susie (Becker) Schmidt. They came from Ostrog, Poland, Russia.They came on the SS Waterland. Arrived in Philadelphia on December 25, 1874. They went by train to Hutchison, Kansas. After they married they settled near Durham, Kansas.Later in Sept. of 1897 and with other families the moved to Fairbanks, Texas. I have more history on the Schmidt side than the Jantz side however. All were Church of God In Christ Mennonite people. We could very well be related. Please feel free to respond. My e-mail address is jomom1@frontier.com Sincerely, Mrs. Wesley D. Jantz Livingston, California Hello,

No answer no comment, he just handed the phone to Lide and then she took a deep breath and couldn't say anything for a few moments.....I did not have a clue.

He said he had not been to a funeral home since his mom died. The news article was exactly as he described it "She was supposed to be waiting for me at the mail box and when she wasn't there I knew something was wrong. I found her in the wash room with her guts blown all over the wall. She used the shotgun." Obviously Grandad was devastated and VERY EMOTIONAL when he told me. I told Dad (Larry, Sr.) out in the hall what was discussed and he was shocked, Dad said "he never told me" The depression gene/s---bipolar disorder is definitely genetic. Thanks for discussing this tuff topic. Deb, When I was visiting Grandad (Elmer) Unruh just before we took him to the funeral home to see Lide, he told me about finding his mother.
