MORTUARY

Emmet Schultz

Emmet Alvin Schultz was born at Winterset, December 10, 1869, and died at Huron, South Dakota, April 27, 1930. When but a mere boy, he went west and worked for several years as a telegraph and telephone lineman in California, Arizona, and New Mexico. He later took up painting and decorating as a profession and came to Carthage, South Dakota, about 24 years ago, since which time he had made his home there, and followed this line of work.

He was one of the biggest hearted men we have ever known. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for a friend, and practically every one in this community was a warm personal friend.

He leaves to mourn his untimely death one brother and two sisters, A. R. Schultz, of Des Moines, who was present at the funeral; Mrs. H. C. Addy, of Winterset, and Mrs. S. E. Trindle of Van Meter.

It is stated that Mr. Schultz had gone over to the hunting lodge at Lake Henry, Sunday, and had driven over to Lake Preston to secure groceries. On the highway his car suddenly swerved to the side of the road and across into the ditch on the opposite side of the road, then through a woven wire fence and tipped over two or three times. Mr. Schultz was thrown clear of the car, his body being picked up about thirty feet from the wrecked car. He was unconscious and never regained consciousness. It is thought that he had suffered a stroke of paralysis and had lost control of the car.
