Read More	William Schultz, a pioneer of the Reardan country, died at his home last week, from appendicitis. His death was shortly followed by the death of his infant. (Citizen: 7-26-1907) William Schulz, born in Germany on May 25, 1861 {edit: stone states May 26, 1861}, died on July 12, 1907 in Reardan. He migrated from Germany in 1885 to Minnesota and in 1888 to Reardan. In 1900 he was married to Bertha Tramm. They had five children. [7/19/1907] William Schulz was born in Germany May 25, 1861, and died July 12, 1907, in Reardan. In 1885 he came to America, locating in Minnesota. Three years later he moved to Reardan. In 1890 he was united in marriage with Bertha Tramm, which union was blessed with 5 children. Twenty-two years ago he was converted to God and joined the Evangelical Church and remained faithful to the end. He acceptably filled various offices in the church he so loved and cherished. His marked religious experiences of the last few months will not soon be forgotten. An unconditional surrender of himself to his Saviour was his daily purpose. He earnestly sought and obtained the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and he had great zeal for lost souls. He was sick only a few days when the physicians informed him he would have to undergo an operation for appendicitis. The operation was performed, but he succumbed to the disease 36 hours later. His suffering was intense, but he was perfectly resigned to the will of God. He leaves a sorrowing widow and 4 children, besides mother and other relatives and friends. Scarcely had the Death Angel plucked the flower in full bloom from the home when he, bending down gently broke the stem of the opening bud of scarcely two summers. Guna, the youngest of the family, was taken two days after the father. Her body was laid into the arms of the father, and thus together they await the blessed resurrection morning. Besides Rev. R. D. Streyffeler, Rev. Geo. Koch and Rev. J. Ehret assisted in the funeral services. MS [LCT; 8/9/1907] WILLIAM SCHULZ, one of the responsible and influential citizens of Reardan, Lincoln county, was born in Germany, May 26, 1861, the son of August and Caroline (Otto) Schulz. During one period of the father's life he was a mail carrier, and subsequently a soldier, participating in the war with Austria in 1864-6. He died at the age of forty-six. The mother is still living in Germany. William, our subject, attended public school in Germany and then worked four years for a farmer and for two years subsequently he was a teamster. He arrived in New York city, May 1, 1885, and at once came to Stearns county, Minnesota, engaging in farming three years. In 1888 he came to Washington, locating in Lincoln county, where now stands the town of Reardan. For a year he continued working for others on a farm, and then he purchased one hundred and sixty acres or railroad land for six hundred dollars near the future site of Reardan. Subsequently he added one hundred and twenty acres more, and now has a fine grain farm and meadow land, besides handling on lease one-half section of school land. His residence is a modern eight-room house surrounded with excellent outbuildings and a small orchard. There is, also, on the place another substantial house for tenants. Mr. Schulz began raising wheat in 1889, and in 1895 he engaged in the business of dairying. At present he has twenty head of milk cows and is the only dairyman supplying the town of Reardan. Our subject is the oldest of a family of six. A brother, Herman, lives three and one-half miles east of Reardan, but the rest of the children are in Germany. The father died when William was but fourteen years of age, and throughout his life he has contributed liberally to the support of the mother. July 19, 1890, our subject was married to Bertha Tramm, a native of Wisconsin. They are the parents of four children, Mary, aged thirteen, Martha, aged twelve, Emma, aged six, and Hugo, two years old. The parents are members of the Evangelical church. Although coming to Lincoln county with but small means, Mr. Schulz has by industry and natural business ability, accumulated a competence and gained the respect of the entire community in which he resides. He manifests a patriotic interest in politics. Mr. Schulz is quite enthusiastic in his praise of the Big Bend country.
