Died, at his residence in Grand Meadow township, on Sunday morning April 2nd, 1899, Carl J. Schultz, in the 41st year of his age, of dropsy and heart disease. Mr. Schultz was taken to Chicago, only the week before, but as little could be done for him there he was brought home on Tuesday to die. He was a son of Charles Schultz, an old resident of Grand Meadow. His wife is a daughter of Fred Thoma, deceased. Besides his wife he leaves nine children to mourn his loss. The funeral was held at the Lutheran church on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clk, that edifice being crowded to its full capacity. The widow will receive $2,000 from the Workmen. To the bereaved family and relatives the Review extends it sincere sympathy. Rev. Bockelman furnishes the following:
