Elkader Register & Argus, Thur., 26 Oct. 1911.

Frank Schuldt was born Jan. 18th, 1835, at Gueltz, Mecklenburg, Schwerin. As a young man he learned masonry, at which trade he worked for about sixteen years. Sept. 27th, 1865, he was married to Maria Dueling. Five years later he came with his family to this country and at first settled at Littleport, Iowa. After three years the family moved on a farm near Mederville, where they lived for nine years, when they moved on the farm which has been their home up to the present days.

Mr. Schuldt had been suffering for some time. The very best of care was given him by his wife and children until he was relieved from all earthly pain and suffering, Oct. 6, 1911, at the age of 76 years, 8 months and 18 days.
