(From the 1883 History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, by J. H. Keatley, p.53, Council Bluffs)
F. A. Shultz, hotel-keeper, Council Bluffs, was born in Chriswig, Germany. He was the son of E. and Anna (Rosakir) Shultz. His father was born in Chriswig, Germany, and was a shoemaker by trade. He came to this country, and went to Davenport, Iowa, in 1866; here he lived about five years, when he moved to Sheridan County, Mo., where he lived nine years and then came to this county. His (subject's) mother was also a native of Chriswig, Germany, and died in Sheridan County, Mo., in 1875. Our subject's parents had eight children. He (subject) lived with his father until the spring of 1880, when he came to this county, and engaged in farming. He was a shoemaker by trade, and worked at this in Germany, but since his arrival in America he has been engaged in agricultural pursuits, until the spring of 1882, when he opened his hotel in Lewis Township, this county, in which business he has since been engaged. He was married in the fall of 1871, at Davenport, Iowa, to Catherina Ikener, born in Chriswig, Germany, in 1852. She was the daughter of John and Christina (Thompson) Ikener, both natives of Chriswig, Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Shultz have five children - Mollie, Albert, Emma, Laura and Annie. They are members of the Lutheran Church. In politics, Mr. Shultz is a Republican.
