Mr. Schultz was a respected pioneer, having landed in this county in 1852, coming by boat via cape Horn. He mined in this vicinity for two years and then went into California.

Mr. Schultz leaves a host of friends to mourn the loss of one who has labored strenuously for the betterment and upbuilding of the city. During the early settlement of this country, when the Indian was on the alert for an opportunity to assault the white settler Mr. Schultz was ever ready to defend home and country. Being of peaceful temperament he had little difficulty with the Indians. Richard Gaskin, a grandson, is the only relative in this country.
