  CAMERON SHULTZ, M. D., is one of the rising young physicians of the town of
  Danville, Pa., and a highly esteemed citizen of the community. He is a son of
  Benjamin F. Shultz, one of the oldest and most highly-respected physicians and
  surgeons who ever practiced in the borough of Danville.
  
    Peter Shultz, grandfather of our subject, was a resident of Plainfield, N. J.,
  for a number of years, but later he became a resident of Derry township, Montour
  County, Pa., and, purchasing a large tract of land, he erected a hotel, which he
  conducted for several years; he also carried on general farming. During his
  latter days he gave up his hotel business and devoted his entire attention to
  agricultural pursuits. He was joined in marriage to Sarah Robbins and a family
  of nine children was born to them.
  
    Benjamin F. Shultz, the father of our subject, was born on the old homestead
  in Derry township, Montour County, March 19, 1828. He first attended the primary
  schools of his native township. He taught school in the borough of Danville and,
  while teaching, studied medicine under Dr. James Strawbridge, A. M., M. D., of
  Danville. Subsequently he studied under Dr. Pancoast, of Philadelphia, and then
  entered the Jefferson Medical College of that city, and was graduated from that
  institution in 1852. He then began practicing his chosen profession in Danville,
  Pa., where his labors were crowned with success and he soon won the confidence
  and esteem of his community. He continued in his profession with great success,
  but in 1877 he was obliged to retire from the medical field because of poor
  health. He accordingly purchased a farm of three hundred acres, which is now the
  property of his daughter, Mrs. Vincent, and there he quietly and happily spent
  the last six years of his active life. He also owned a large block, No. 425 Mill
  street, and one at No. 510 Bloom street. Politically, Dr. Shultz was an
  unwavering Republican and always lent his aid toward the success of his chosen
  party. In religious views he was inclined to be liberal. He passed from this
  life February 1, 1896, and left a good name, that will stand as an incentive to
  the rising generation. In 1857 he was united in the bonds of matrimony to
  Elizabeth Mower, a daughter of John Mower, and two children blessed the union:
  Dora Elizabeth, who is the wife of O. R. Drumheller, who is proprietor of the
  Windsor Hotel, at Shamokin, Pa.; and Clarrena, who died in infancy. Mrs. Shultz
  died in 1861 and he formed a second marital union with Mary Heckert, a daughter
  of John Heckert. She died at the age of forty-eight years, leaving the following
  children: Cameron, our subject; Florence, wife of A. H. Grone; Deborah, who
  wedded T. G. Vincent; Arminda, a student at Irving College, Mechanicsburg, Pa.;
  and Maggie and William, who died in infancy.
  
    Our subject acquired a good education in the public schools of Danville and
  then read medicine in his father's office for some time. He then entered the
  Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, and was graduated with the class of
  1892. He immediately returned to his home and opened a general practice, which
  he continued until 1896, when he went to New York City and took a special course
  in the diseases of the stomach. He has since built up a large and successful
  practice and is the only specialist on diseases of the stomach in this part of
  the state. Dr. Shultz purchased the handsome mansion on Market street, which was
  built by Peter Baldy at a cost of forty-five thousand dollars, and in which he
  has his offices and parlors. Dr. Shultz's mansion is located on a large lot 273
  by 80 feet in dimensions and the house is surrounded by a beautiful and
  well-kept lawn, which greatly adds to the beauty of his home. Dr. Shultz chose
  for his life-companion Margaret Frances Thompson, a daughter of Hon. S. Y.
  Thompson, M. D., of Danville, and one child is the result of this happy union,
  namely: Annie Mary, born in Danville, Pa., August 19, 1893. The Doctor is a
  member and past grand master of Montour Lodge No. 109, I. O. O. F.; a member of
  Washington Camp No. 364, P. O. S. of A., and of Lotus Conclave No. 127, I. O. H.
