SCHULTZ, FRED.--Farmer and stock-raiser, section 16, P.O. Malcom. Was born in Prussia in 1835, and there raised. He followed the occupation of a carpenter and joiner, which business he learned quite young. He came to Bureau county, Illinois, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits until 1858, when he came to this county and now owns 400 acres of well cultivated and stocked land. His buildings are comfortable; he has large orchards and groves, and one of the most desirable places in the township. He has been married twice, first to Miss Mary Harmon, of this county, in 1864. She died in the fall of 1868, leaving two children. Was again married, in 1869, to Miss Nettie Dausdock, of this county. They have two children from this union. Mr. Schultz is always willing to lend his influence to all commendable enterprises; is an active member of the Lutheran Church, and a zealous worker for the cause of Christianity, and a kind friend to the poor--a man who is liked by every one.
