"The History of Montgomery County, Ohio" by W.H. Beers & Co.  1882


Frederick Schutte, County Auditor, Dayton, was born in Dayton, Montgomery 
County, Ohio, March 16, 1846.  His parents were Frederick Schutte, a native of 
Hesse-Cassel, Germany, who came to this country about 1840, and Catherine C.
(Webber) Schutte, a native of Prussia, who came to America in 1838.  They were
married in Dayton, and had five children, three boys and two girls, of whom our
subject and one girl are the only survivors.  The father had his passage paid to
this country by parties in Dayton, and after his arrival worked fifteen months
in a stone quarry at $7 per month to repay it.  His estate now owns the land
on which this, the first work he performed in the new world, was done.  He died
February 7, 1871, after a life of honest toil, leaving his family in very good 
circumstances.  His wife is still living and is enjoying very good health for 
one so advanced in years.  Our subject, who was the oldest child, attended the
common schools of Dayton until seventeen years old.  At the age of twenty-one
years, he became a Deputy in the Auditor's office, in which he remained four 
years and then became Steward of Southern Ohio Insane Asylum, under the 
administration of Gov. Allen. He remained at the asylum from June 19, 1874, 
until July 17, 1876, and then accepted a position in the County Treasurer's 
office, where he served one year or until 1877, when he was elected to fill his
present office.  He is a member of the Masonic Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Red
Men and Druids.  He is also a member in good standing of the German Lutheran
Church.  He resides with his mother and sister in Van Buren Township, just out
of the city.  His official service has been attended with the best of success
and with credit to himself and his party.
