CARL C. SCHULTZ
Carl C. Schultz, who in the later years of his life was engaged in the lumber
trade as the head of the firm of C. C. Schultz & Company and who was also the
owner of much valuable realty in Minneapolis, including the Schultz block, was
born in Preussen, Germany, March 6, 1829. He was the seventh son in a family and
all were teachers except himself. He acquired his education in the schools of
his native land and in a college in Berlin and when a young man came to the
United States. He made his way at once to Minnesota, where he took up a claim
from the government in the vicinity of St. Cloud and there resided for some
time. He built and owned several homes in that city and afterward went to
Chicago, about the time of the outbreak of the Civil war. In Chicago he engaged
in the grocery busi­ness and continued to make his home there until 1865. In the
latter year he removed to Minneapolis, where he became connected with the
clothing store of Mor-rison & Gardner, his association with that firm covering
many years. Later he became identified with the North Star Boot & Shoe Company,
now the North Star Shoe Company, and after several years in that business he
turned his attention to the conduct of a real estate and loan agency, in which
connection he won a large clientage and gained substantial success. In 1908 he
organized the lumber firm of C. C. Schultz & Company and in addition to
conducting that business successfully he built the Schultz block at Nos. 121 and
123 Washington avenue, North. He also owned other valuable real estate in the
city and his property holdings returned to him a most gratifying annual income.
It was in 1862, while a resident of Chicago, that Mr. Schultz was united in
mar­riage to Miss Augusta M. Hagen, who came to this country from Germany at the
age of fifteen years, making the trip alone on a sailing vessel, which was
eleven weeks on that voyage across the Atlantic. In 1883 Mr. and Mrs. Schultz
made a trip to Germany, after an absence of many years, and there renewed
acquaintance with many of the friends of their childhood. Mr. Schultz also met
the professor under whom he had studied before leaving for America and the
teacher was loud in praise of him as one of his best students. To Mr. and Mrs.
Schultz were born two children: Otto C.; and Eda, who is the widow of Henry C.
Stebbins, and the mother of three children, Helen, Dorothy L., and Elizabeth.
The family circle was broken by the hand of death when Mr. Schultz passed away
on the 21st of March, 1910. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, loyal to
its teachings and pur­poses and attained the Knights Templar degree in the
commandery. He never had occasion to regret his determination to come to the new
world, for in this land he found the opportunities which he sought and in their
utilization he made steady progress in the attainment of business success. He
also found pleasant social rela­tions here and throughout the period of his
residence on this side of the Atlantic manifested the utmost loyalty to his
adopted country.
