I have also noted that some add an 'e' and others do not. Seems no logic. A bit like Volker and Folker, nobody knows why.

Not afraid of hard work Herman Albert (Harry) SCHULZ would take his eldest daughter to school perched with him on a horse while he balanced a can of cream to be left at the railway station. Eventually, he would buy a car - a red two-seater with a jump seat - and in his lifetime six more cars, all from Huston's in Wondai. Harry was born at "Hillside" near Lowood, the 10th child of Albert Ernest SCHULZ and Bertha Emilie Albertine (GEHRKE) in a family of seven boys and four girls. He was confirmed at Hillside Coolana Lutheran Church in October 1930. Several years later he left the home at Coolana and moved to Chelmsford, near Wondai, to work for his sister Alice and her husband, Herman MARQUAEDR. There he met Dorothy Mabel (Dora) GUSE, when he arrived at her farm one day with two horses and a wagon to deliver meat for wurst-making. The couple was married at Mondure Lutheran Church in February 1939. They worked for Dick and Hulda GUSE and lived in a farm cottage for five years. Mrs SCHULZ was good with horses. He knew how to grow sweet potatoes from growing up in the Lockyer Valley and he was not afraid of hard work. Their first child was born at the end of 1939. They started to save money together and with help from Dick bought a 160 acre (65ha) farm at Charlestown Rd. Tingoora, in June 1945. It cost 3000 pounds and they paid off the debt in a year. A second child was born and they set about raising their family and farming the land. Mr SCHULZ loved his working horses and used them extensively for farming work including hay making, ploughing, scuffling crops and transport. The farm was productive, with a dairy where all the family members had cows to milk. Milk separated from the cream was gravity fed downhill to a piggery. They had lots of breeding hens for eggs and meat; a huge hayshed stored hay, and corn picked by hand. One year, on some new ground he prepared, Mr SCHULZ grew a new crop called red spanish peanuts. He and the neighbours who helped with the harvest had never seen anything like it; a record yield for the time, 50 bags an acre and the stooks were four to a chain. The hard work never stopped but tractors, including an International H model with steel wheels, eventually saw the horses put out to pasture and mechanised farming took over. Mr SCHULZ was severely injured in a tractor accident in 1958. The family worshipped with other Lutherans in the little Methodist church on the hill in Tingoora, until the congregation built a church of their own opposite the school. Mrs SCHLULZ would play the organ while her husband would sing the old hymns while trying to handle their next two children who had since been born. His entertainment was lying down on the wooden floor in the kitchen after lunch and listening to the program "Blue Hills" on ABC radio. As soon as the episode was over it was back out to work. The family bought another farm and more machinery and mechanised the dairy. Eldest daughter Rita had gone off nursing and eldest son Kevin eventually bought the farm in 1969. Mr and Mrs SCHULZ "retired" to Wondai where they were to live for more than 30 years, and their grandchildren and great-grandchildren would play in his big chook pen and on their adjacent spare allotment. Again, through hard work, Mr SCHULZ developed an interest in showing and breeding brown leghorn fowls and took many prizes in competitions throughout the South Burnett region. He loved harness racing and could always be found in the stands when the trots were held at the local shows. He and his wife also started propagating plants and selling them at markets and soon they had established the thriving Wondai Plant Nursery. They were always ready to share knowledge and kept up this interest in horticulture until they moved from Wondai to Hervey Bay in 2002, and then to Maryborough and Fairhaven Retirement Village. Even at the village Mr SCHULZ was out in the garden whenever he could, tending to pot plants, the lily garden he established and checking the wind direction and speed of the miniature windmill which reminded him of the farm. He loved children and made time to talk with them and listen with interest to what they were doing. Sometimes he would teach them about growing vegetables and plants, breeding chooks and farming. Mr SCHULZ is survived by Dora, his wife of 68 years, three children, 10 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, a sister and two brothers.
