     On 23 July 1878, Katharine "Katie" Lanz married Johann "John" Reinwald, son of Conrad Reinwald and Anna Elisabeth Kircher, in St James' Evangelical Lutheran Church, Wellesley, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. They were married by Rev. John Strempfer. Marriage Certificate has Katherine's Surname spelled as LANTZ. The marriage certificate lists John's mother as Christinia Hafermehl. Anna Elisabeth Habermehl is not the eldest John's mother, as she would only be 11 at the time of his birth. There is some confusion as to whether Conrad married twice or not. (June 2003 This confusion seems to finally be cleared) The Baptism of Kunigunda states that her mother's name is Elizabeth Kircher. Also the marriage certificate of Conrad & Anna Elizabeth supports that there were indeed two wives, both who were named Elizabeth. Johann's baptismal clearly proves that his mother is Anna Elisabeth KIRCHER. The only reason that I think that Johann lists his mother as Christinia Hafermehl is that Anna Elisabeth died when Johann was very young and Elisabeth (Christinia) was the only mother that he knew.^7,6,8,2

     Conrad Lanz died on 29 January 1950 in Rosthern, Saskatchewan, at the age of 75.¹ Taken from the Story of Rosthern:
Conrad Lanz was born in North-East Hope, Bruce County, Stratford, Ontario, on May 3, 1874, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lanz. When still a small boy, his parents, with their family, moved to Plymouth, Nebraska, U.S.A. Here Conrad received his education and spent his young manhood. It was here, too, that he was confirmed in the faith of his parents and continued to be a member of the Faith Lutheran Church until his last. He was faithful and generous in the support of his church.
In 1899 he came to Canada to settle in the Stoney Hill district near Laird, where he homesteaded. He was married to Rosa Prediger on April 7, 1904. Their marriage was blessed with nine children of which four predeceased him. His resourcefulness and perseverance as a farmer proved itself in time, as he built up a very fine farm which he still owned at the time of his death.
In the early fall of 1919, Mr. and Mrs. Lanz, as a relatively young couple, moved to Rosthern to retire. Mr. Lanz, however, kept busy looking after his farming interests until a few years before his death, when he developed diabetes. He died on January 29, 1950, at home in Rosthern.
He was survived by his widow, Rosa; three sons, Roy of Codette, Saskatchewan; Arthur of Nipawin, Saskatchewan; and Walter of the Pacific Coast; and two daughters, Mrs. Lilian Mitchell of Prince Albert, and Mrs. Edith Loeppky of Calgary, Alberta.⁴
