-Charles H. Dietz, president of the Schoharie Board of Education for the last 29 years and former Schoharie postmaster, was buried in Old Stone Fort cemetery after a funeral service Friday afternoon at the Galen White funeral home here.  Mr. Dietz, 75, died Nov. 24 at his home after a short illness.  Born at Gallupville, son of the late Miner and Sarah Posson Dietz, he was married in 1889 to Harriet Kniskern of Berne, who survives.  Mr. and Mrs. Dietz came to Schoharie in 1893 and he owned and operated a bakery for seven years.  In 1900, he purchased a men’s clothing business.  He was postmaster from 1911 to 1915.  He became a school trustee in 1907 and was elected president of the school board in 1913.  He served for many years as trustee of the Old Stone Fort Cemetery association.  Mr. and Mrs. Dietz observed their 53rd wedding anniversary last Oct. 9.  Besides his wife, he leaves two daughters, Mrs. Henry A. Brand of Schenectady and Mrs. Maynard W. Sullivan of Middleburg; a brother, Courtney Dietz of Albany; two grandchildren and nephews and nieces.  Rev. George R. Kyla officiated at the funeral at Schoharie Community Church.
+“Actions speak louder than words” certainly rings true in this case, for on August 12, 1913 he was chosen president of the Board and has served in that capacity for the past 29 years.
