BIOGRAPHY:
Theodore SCHULTZ

One of the well-known families of Outagamie county, Wisconsin, is that of Schultz, which is represented in Center
township by two well-known agriculturists, Theodore and Edward Schultz, sons of Carl
Schultz, the founder of the family in Section 5. Carl Schultz was born in Germany in 1832, and came to the United
States as a
young man, settling for two or three years near Watertown, Wisconsin, on a rented farm. here he was married to Tena
Hanoldt and moved to Center township, this county, where he purchased eighty acres of wild
land, and on which he continued to live during the rest of his life, his death occuring in 1895, and that of his wife the
year following. They were the parents of thirteen children, of whom seven are still surviving: Julius, born in 1857,
married Bertha Bramer, of Black Creek; Charles, born in 1861, married Lizzie Longlutz, of Center;
Amelia, born in 1859, married C. F. Meyloh; Theodore; Edward; Tena, born in 1868, married John Sederstrom, of
Shawano county;
and Firdent, born in 1877, married Mamie Gerhart, of Center. Theodore Schultz was born on his father's farm in
Center township, as were all the children, February 14, 1866, and his education was secured in the
district schools. He grew up on his father's place, assisting him to clear the land from the wilderness, and after his
father's
death he, with his brother Edward, started operating the land Together. He was married March 29, 1892, to Bertha
Cruse, who died in 1894, and his second marriage was to Amanda Cedarstrong, of Shawano
county, occuring April 6, 1899. They had a family of five children: Elmer, born September 9, 1900, who died aged
four years;
Ferdinand, born January 16, 1903; Henry, born March 12, 1905; Raymond, born June 17, 1907; and Annie, born
September 5, 1909. Edward Schultz was born November 6, 1871, and like his brother, received his schooling in the
district schools of the neighborhood and spent his youth on the home farm. The brothers now have their land in an
excellent state of cultivation, and the large crops which they raise along scientific lines have found a ready sale in the
markets of the vicinity. Both brothers belong to the Evangelical Church.
