MARTIN SHULTZ
Martin Shultz, (deceased,) settled on the west half of the northwest quarter of section 10, in January, 1859. The family still reside here. Mr. Shultz was born in New Jersey, March 29, 1818. He was reared in that State, and at the age of twenty-three, went to Pennsylvania, where he was married to Julina Kelley, who survives him. They moved from Pennsylvania to Franklin county, Ohio, in 1844, and in 1855 came to Iowa and settled in Guthrie county. Four years later they came to Cass county. Mr. Shultz exchanged his farm in Guthrie county for the farm now occupied by his family in this county. It was owned by William Millhollen, who made the first improvements upon it. Mr. Shultz died in August, 1881, at the age of sixty-three years. He was a man highly respected in the community in which he lived. Mr. and Mrs. Shultz had one adopted son, William Henry, born December 24, 1860, in Shelby county, Iowa. He now resides on the homestead with his mother.
