Father and Son Laid To Rest On Same Day

The Grim Reaper again invaded the ranks of the Schultz family last 
Friday morning, when Albert Benjamin Schultz succumbed to pneumonia 
after an illness of only four days.  He passed away about 4:30 Friday 
morning, the day set for the funeral of his aged father, Gustave Schultz,
who died last week Tuesday.  Arrangements were made at once to hold a 
double funeral on Monday.
"Ben" as he was best known was born in Sleepy Eye on Nov. 25, 1882.  
On May 21, 1914, he was united in marriage to Miss Ella Berkner of 
Milbank, S.D.  Besides his widow he leaves two children, Verla and Darwin 
as well as the following brothers and sisters; John J. Schultz, Mrs. Chas 
Remus, Mrs. Emma Hummel, Mrs Roy Gent, and L.D. Schultz of Sleepy Eye and 
Mrs. Emil J. Pahl of Michigan City, Ind.
At the age of 21 he joined the Evangelical church and was a good faithful
member ever since.
The double funeral of father and son was held on Monday afternoon.  
At one o'clock a short service was conducted at the farm home of the son.  
The funeral procession they followed to the home of Mrs. Emma Hummel, 
where a short wervice was held for the father.  Then both hearses 
proceeded to the Evangelical church, where Rev. R.R. Werner assisted 
by Rev. R.M. Mueller of New Ulm and Rev. F.W. Hanser of Marshall, 
conducted the services. The church was filled to overflowing, in fact 
over 100 people stood in the two entries of the church unable to enter.  
The floral offerings were many and beautiful.
Walter Hose, Emmet Schewe, Dave Remus, Clarence Schultz, Orval Remus and 
Vernard Gent, all grandchildren acted as Pall-bearers for their grand-father.  
The pall-bearers for his son were; Frank Moll, Reuben Moll, Herman Speckman, 
A.W. Tews,, John Hanser and Chris Peterson.
At the cemetery Rev. Werner officiated at the grave of Benjamin Schultz 
while Rev. Mueller at the grave of Gustav Schultz.
