   PETER SCHULTZE, a native of Germany, was born near Moers in the year 1826. He
was reared to manhood's estate in the land of his nativity, where he obtained a
collegiate education, and afterward embarked in the manufacture and sale of
goods With the tide of immigration that was fast draining Europe of its
freedom-loving people, he drifted to the United States in 1848, and, escaping
the ravages of cholera of that year, located in Greene County, Ind., where he
purchased a large tract of land and engaged in agricultural pursuits. Since
being a resident of this county he has endeavored to merit the honor conferred
upon him as an American citizen by upholding the institutions of his adopted
country,-and supporting them to the best of his ability. He took an active part
in the organization of the first fair of Greene County, of which he was he first
assistant Secretary, and since 1872 has almost continually served in the
capacity of Secretary. He selected Miss P. Barton for his wife in 1850, and to
their union three children were born— lizabeth [sic] C., Mary Ann and one that
died in infancy. Mr. Schultze is one of Grant Township's best and most energetic
citizens.
