Schulze, Anna (Schori)
OBITUARY - SCHULZE

Anna Schori Schulze was born at Bern Switzerland July 25, 1841. She was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Spring Schori, who early in her life brought her to the saving waters of Holy Baptism and provided for her Christian training and education in the Christian faith. The days of her youth and maidenhood she passed in the beautiful mountainous surroundings of her native land. When she was 16 years of age she came to American and resided in Elgin, Iowa.

Here she became acquainted with Robert Jacob Schulze of McGregor to whom she was married in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, on August 16, 1861. To this union seven children were born. Four children died in their early youth, three of them in the course of one week in 1879, when an epidemic of diptheria was raging in Charles City. After more than fifty years of happy wedded life the union was dissolved when the husband died on August 9, 1914.

After their marriage the Schulze's lived in Elgin; three years later they moved to McGregor where they were engaged in the manufacture of mineral waters. In 1869 they came to Charles City and took with them their mineral water establishment which is still in operation and conducted by the oldest son, William C. Schulze.

The departed sister during her residence in Charles City, was an attendant of the Lutheran Church and since she has lived with her son in Dubuque, for the last three and one half years, she has attended the services there. Her health had always been such that she could attend to the duties of her station in life. On the eighth of May she fell and fractured her left hip bone. Since that time she has suffered much pain and was tenderly cared for by her children in Dubuque. In order to receive the professional care of nurses and physicians she was lately removed to the hospital.

But though every care possible was bestowed on her, she gradually grew weaker and on Thursday at six o'clock in the morning she was mercifully relieved from all pain and sickness at the age of 84 years 10 months and 9 days.

She is survived by three sons; William of Charles City; Louis E. of Cedar Rapids; Robert H., of Dubuque, two grandchildren, Mrs. C. Lucian of Charles City and Helen Schulze of Dubuque, and two sisters, Mra. Mary Beer of Elkader and Mrs. Kitcher of Minneapolis.

She was laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery Saturday afternoon.
