Mrs. John Shultz, of Scott township, died last week. The funeral was held Sunday at Union Chapel. No further particulars have been handed in.
________________________Coordinator's note: In the 1895 Madison County Census, there was only one Shultz family in Scott Township, that of John Shultz. His wife died in 1908. However, on the exact same date, November 14, 1896, Phebe Shutt died and was subsequently buried on that same Sunday in that same cemetery as the purported Mrs. Shultz. Coincidence? Unlikely. Far more likely is erroneous reporting coming out of Scott Township.
