HENRY C. SCHULTZ

WHEN Howard Paine, the poet-diplomat, wrote "Home, Sweet Home," he was exiled
far from his native land and the comforts of home. Sick and near death he gave
his soul to a song that is sung and cherished in all lands, and its influence is
worldwide. Until recently this simple song was his only monument; but before it
all nations bowed and by example made their home-life more endurable. When this
song was written Kansas was a plain over which buffalo roamed; but when
settlement came and good crops with it the home sentiment took root and today
there is a strife between the resident farmers to see who can make their home
the most attractive. Henry C. Schultz, of "Hillcrest Farm," five and one-half
miles north of Pawnee Rock, has been most fortunate in his effort to beautify
his hundred and sixty acres. His residence, a two story frame, with nine rooms
and a basement, is perched on a hill that it may be seen from afar. It is
painted white and enclosed by a fence, impaling plants, shrubs and flowers. The
barn, granary, dairy and other buildings add to the effect and complete a
picture of one of the most attractive residences in the county.

Farm Residence of Henry C. Schultz

  Henry C. Schultz was born on July 15th, 1877, in Pawnee Rock township, Barton
County, and has lived close to nature all his life. He was educated in the
public schools of his district and assisted his parents on their farm. On
February 23rd, 1S97, he was married to Miss Effie Dirks, of Barton County, and
they have been blessed with three children: Lorena, 12: Dorris, 9 and Bert 6.

   He purchased his farm on April 12, 1904, and began his improvements, and
today has one of the choice tracts in his vicinity. The soil is very rich and
productive, and when one looks over his fields it is easy to see that he is a
painstaking farmer.
