Clayton County Register, Thur., 23 May 1929.

Herman L. Schultz passed away at his home in Glendive, Montana, Sunday morning, April 28, 1929. Death came peacefully after a lingering illness of three months at the age of 68 years, 6 months and 1 day.

Deceased was born in Germany October 27, 1861. He came to America with his parents in 1871 at the age of eleven and settled at Garnavillo, Iowa.

In 1887 he was united in marriage with Christina Espolt and made their home near Garber. To this union ten children were born. In 1913 Mr. Schultz moved with his family to Bloomfield, Montana, on a farm. In 1921 he retired in Glendive, where he has resided until death.

He leaves to mourn his death a wife, two daughters and seven sons: Eleanora Haught of Elkader, Ia., Geneva Hubbard of Glendive, Mont., Arnold and Herman of Minneapolis, Minn., Louis, Verni, Harry and Leroy, all of Bloomfield, Montana. Marvin preceded his father in death nearly two years ago. He also leaves six grandchildren and three brothers, Charley and Otto of Guttenberg, and Henry of Garber, and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at the home on Wednesday afternoon, May 1st for the immediate family, from there to the Zion Lutheran church at two o'clock. The church was crowded to capacity with sorrowing friends and relatives. Rev. O. K. Davidson took as a subject for his sermon, Psalm 61:2, "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I". The remains were laid to rest in the Glendive cemetery. May he rest in peace.
