MRS. LOUISE SCHULTZ DEAD
Succumbs to Paralysis Saturday In Home on West Street — Funeral Sunday Evening.
(Contributed)
Mrs. Louise Hoelscher Schultz, widow of the late Augustus Schultz, died Saturday morning of paralysis after an illness lasting several months. The funeral was held Sunday evening at her late residence on West street, Rev. J. F. Burks, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, officiating. The remains were shipped to Washington for cremation.
Mrs. Schultz was born in Hilbronn, Wurtemburg, over eighty years ago and was very proud of being a German, being convinced that the culture and traditions that had molded her character made her a better citizen of her adopted country. She considered herself fortunate in belonging to the United States, the most wonderful country in the world, as she like to call it; and she brought up her only son with an exalted idea of his American citizenship. She was a true friend and a kind neighbor; original and fearless in her opinions, full of shrewd common sense, endowed with that firmness of will which never degenerates into obstinacy. For thirty years she was the true helpmate of her husband, supporting him in all the trials of an inventor’s life. (Augustus Schultz, as our readers know, invented the method of chrome tannage, which has completely revolutionized the manufacture of leather.)
During her last illness Mrs. Schultz was surrounded by her nearest relatives, her niece, Mrs. Ferdinand Henrici, of Chicago; her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Albert Schultz, of Philadelphia; her adopted daughter, Mrs. J. H. Dodge, of Manassas, and an old friend, Miss Anna Bahlmann, of Paris, France.
