The Family to which Daniel Waltz, of Linden, belongs was planted in this country about 1800. The first to come to Lycoming County was John Walz. He was a farmer and a worthy man who reared a family of good loyal citizens, in
number seven sons and four daughters.

Gotlieb Waltz, one of the sons of John Walz, was born in Lycoming County, and was all his life a successful farmer. He owned and cultivated one hundred acres of land and held several township offices. His wife was Catherine Helner, and their family consisted of the following children: George W; Hiram; Elizabeth; Daniel, mentioned at length hereinafter; Barbara; Catherine; Amanda; Sarah; and two deceased.

Daniel Waltz, son of Gotlieb and Catherine (Helner) Waltz, was born August 9, 1852, in Lycoming County, where he was reared and educated. Subsequently he adopted for his own the independent life of a farmer, and is now the owner of one hundred acres of fine valley land which, under his skillful management, is extremely productive. He holds the office of deacon in
the Baptist Church, of which he and his family are members.

Mr. Waltz married, in 1875, Phoebe J. Kyle, and ten children have been born to them; Minnie, who is the wife of Harry Good and their four sons; Perry who married Blanche Berry and is the father of one son; Erwin; Pearson; Ella; Edna; Lloyd; Della; and two who are deceased. By this family is recruited the number of descendants of those German settlers who contributed so largely toward laying the foundations of the prosperity of Pennsylvania.
