ciating. The Benevolent Protective
Order Of Elks of which Mr.. Schulz
was a member will also hold their

the regular funeral services. The
magnificent services which the Elks
usually hold did in no way interfere
with the church services.
The Elks walked in a body from
their headquarters to the home After
the services there they accom-
panied the body to the interment at
Oak Hill cemetery where they held
their funeral ritual
Besides his wife who survives him
are two daughters, MurieI and Helen,
one brother, w. c. Schulz, who is a
resident of the Isle of Pines and two
half sisters, Mrs. William Gruetz-
macher of Grand Forks, N. d., and
Mrs. William Fuerstenau of Lake
Mills.
Mr. Schulz was born on farm in
May, 1864 near Lake Mills. On May
26, 1887, he married Miss Estella
Drew, also Of Lake Mills.
Mr. Schulz was self-made man,
one who had worked himself to the
front Of the business ranks of the
world by hard work. He received
very little education. He attended
the German school in the country
but received very little benefit as the
school was only open a few months
during the year. 1t was his desire
for work and chance to get out in
the world and make name for him
self that made him stop going to
school Determining to learn some
business from the ground up he Sc
sured a position in the furniture bust
ness of his brother-in-law, Albert
Blankenburg, at Fond du Lac. Hav-
ing mastered the furniture business,
he came to Watertown and opened a
furniture store at 200 West Main
street This site is now occupied by
the Baumann Confectionery company.
Mr. Schulz has invented many art
icles of value. One of these is the
table slide. This proved to be so
good that in 1889 he started the pres
ent Watertown Table Slide company.
At first this was only small factory
employing a few men, but Mr.. Schulz
steadily added to the factory. He en-
larged the plant last spring and thus
made it one Of the largest enterprises
in Watertown.
Last November he was confined to
bed by the illness that was his death,
but still managed TO keep in touch
with his business. He was such
hard worker that he could not bear
to be entirely away from it and al
though taking no active interests al
ways directed the affairs.
He was a very liberal man, always
giving generously to charities. His
business associates say that although
handicapped by a very small educa-
ton he was one of the shrewdest men
that ever conducted a business deal
In addition to being a member of
the B. P. o. E. he was also a member
of the Union Commercial Travellers
association.
