DEATH CALLS ANOTHER

James M. Schultz was born in New York State on January 10, 1828, and died at
New Bridge, Oregon, on last Thursday morning, Feb. 7th, aged 90 years and 28
days. The funeral services were held at the Eagle Valley cemetery at noon
Saturday, Rev. Wm. E. Bean officiating.

When about 18 years of age Mr. Schultz enlisted in General Worth's division
and served to the close of the Mexican War, gaining promotion to the rank of
First Lieutenant for deeds of valor. He was pensioned by the government over
35 years ago, but through a clerical error was rated as a private. Although
asked to do so, he had never had the records corrected at Washington.

In November, 1852, he was married to Miss Vienna Rice, who is still living and
in fairly good health although she is past 87 years of age.

Mr. and Mrs. Schultz came from Missouri in 1884 and settled in Wallowa county,
where they resided until ten years ago when they removed to Eagle Valley.

"Grandpa" Schultz united with the Presbyterian chruch almost three quarters of
a century ago; was conscientious, liberal, just, broad-minded; withal a
Christian in the full meaning of the word. His death was the result of
physical decline resulting from old age, and marks the end of a life well
spent.

Besides the aged wife there are five children still living to mourn the
departed one, namely: Wm. Schultz, master maschinist and engineer at the
lumber mills at Hood River; Jesse Schultz, of New Bridge; Elmer Schultz of
Crowley, Ore.; Mrs. Nettie Davis of Chula, Mo; Mrs. Lillie Bates of Hale, Mo.
There also twenty or more grandchildren and a number of great-grandchildren.
