BENJAMIN SCHULTZ.

    Among the progressive and hard-working agriculturists of Home township,
Brown county, is Benjamin Schultz, who was born at Sleepy Eye, Minnesota,
November 25, 1882. He is a son of Gustav and Caroline Schultz, both natives of
Germany. The father spent his boyhood in his native land and there attended
school, but immigrated to America when a young man and located in Wisconsin
where he worked until he removed to Minnesota, locating near Hutchinson, where
he was married. There he engaged in general farming until 1873 when he removed
to Brown county, locating in Home township, where he bought one hundred and
fifty-five acres, which he later added to until he had a good farm of one
hundred and ninety-five acres. Here he continued farming until 1913 when he
rented his place and removed to Sleepy Eye, where he has since lived in
retirement. His family consisted of seven children, namely: John J., Amelia,
Lydia, Emma, Benjamin, Ella and Lawrence.

    Benjamin Schultz grew to manhood on the home farm where he worked during the
summer months and in the winter time he attended the public schools in Home
township. He assisted his father on the farm until the latter retired, then
rented the home place which he has been operating ever since. He has been very
successful as a general farmer. He has about thirty acres of corn and
eighty-five acres of small grain.

    On May 21, 1914, Benjamin Schultz was married to Ella Berkner, a daughter of
William and Augusta (Lueck) Berkner, and to this union one child has been born.
Verla. Ella Berkner was born in Lac qui Parle county, Minnesota, and is of
German descent. The father spent his young manhood in Wisconsin, finally
removing to Minnesota, locating in Lac qui Parle county, where he was a farmer
for ten years, then removed to South Dakota, where he now resides. His family
consisted of nine children, namely: Clara, Ella, Mertie, Walter, Esther, Melvin,
Bernice, Carl and Samuel.
