ERNEST H. SCHULTZ.
It is interesting to trace the influence of the excellent
resources and fine government of freedom of this country on the
dwellers of the European nationalities. Many of the most
enterprising have forsaken the native land and have through
hardships pressed their way to the frontiers of our own land and
have there been the stalwart ones whose labors have aided in the
rapid development of this region. Among those who come to
our shores, there are none more worthy and substantial than
those native to the Fatherland. The subject of this
article is one of that vast number and certainly a review of his
career will manifest his skill and industry since coming here
and it is with pleasure we trace an epitome in this connection.
Ernest H. Schultz was born in Germany on May 11,
1855, the son of Carl E. and Amelia F. (Haval) Schultz,
natives of the same land. The father died there in 1875
and the mother in 1886. The brothers and sisters of
Ernest H. are Osweld H., Theodore H., Annie M., Amelia
and Mary. The earlier education of our subject was
obtained in the primary schools but later the excellent
educational institutions of Berlin contributed a first class
machinist's trade, after which he was in the army for several
years. 1883 marks the date of his arrival in America.
Buffalo, New York, was the scene of his labors for a year, then
he journeyed to St. Louis, later to Chicago, and afterward we
see him managing an estate for John B. Hersey.
After four years in this capacity he went to Kansas and there
operated an estate of eight hundred acres for several years.
Finally Mr. Schultz came to the Big Bend country, the
year being 1889, and later settled in Stevens county, six miles
north from Usk, where we find him at the present time. He
located land, mostly timber, then bought more until now he owns
nearly a section of timber and meadow land. Mr. Schultz
has also good mining property and with his son owns a fine
copper claim in the Lardeau country.
In 1879, Mr. Schultz married Miss Eaton,
whose father lives in Germany, the mother having died some time
since.
Mr. and Mrs. Schultz are members of the Lutheran
church and he is an active Democrat, being interested in the
welfare and progress of the country.
In 1903 Mr. Schutze determined to investigate
the Alberta country, with the intention of locating there if
satisfied. After due exploration in this Canadian country,
he returned to Cusick, where he is now in business.
He is satisfied that the Calispell valley is one of the best and
far superior to the Alberta regions.
