MARTIN SCHULZ (1880)

Martin Schulz is one of Yellow Medicine county's progressive farmers and has
a fine home on the northeast quarter of section 17, Wood Lake township.

Mr. Schulz is a native of Germany, where he was born April 24, 1869, a son
of August and Henrietta Schulz.  The family came to the United States in
1880, coming direct to Yellow Medicine county and locating on the northeast
quarter of section 21, Wood Lake township.  After a residence of over thirty
years in Yellow Medicine county, the mother died in October 1911, and the
father in January, 1913.  A younger brother of our subject, Otto, now owns
the old home farm.

Martin Schulz was eleven years of age on his arrival to the United States.
He has already had several years of German schooling, and in the English
schools of Yellow Medicine county he finished his education.  His younger
days were spent on the farm with his parents, and he remained at home and
assisted with the work there until twenty-four years of age.  He then struck
out for himself, and his present home surroundings show that he has made a
winning effort in his life's work.

Mr. Schulz was married July 12, 1900, at Hazel Run, to Emma Kirschbaum, who
was born in Yellow Medicine county.  They have one child, Ella.  Mr. Schulz
is a member of the German Lutheran Church of Wood Lake.
