Gottlieb Schulz

Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb Schulz, along with their family, came from Dresden, Germany. They arrived in Jamestown on May 12, 1892. His brother, William Schulz had settled there in 1882, so they made their home with him for awhile and also with George Hupjher. In 1895 he homesteaded the Southeast Quarter of Section 20, in Meadowlake Township. He broke up this new land with a team of oxen and a team of horses. They did their trading in Jamestown and one trip for supplies would take two days. In later years Mr. and Mrs. Schulz acquired more quarters of land and built up some very fine buildings, the result of much hard work and saving of money. They lived on the home place until the fall of 1917, when they moved to Jamestown. Mr. Schulz died November 2, 1921. Mrs. Schulz continued to live in Jamestown until her death on December 5, 1933. Eight children were born to this union, namely:

  1. Gussie,

  2. August,

  3. Herman,

  4. William,

  5. Minnie,

  6. Fred,

  7. Martha and

  8. Gustave (all deceased).
