DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT Henry A. Schultz, Pioneer Resident of Colfax Passes Away Sunday. Last Sunday afternoon, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Minnie Willhite, occurred the death of Henry Anderson Schultz, at the advanced age of 80 years and 3 months. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Willhite, the services being in charge of Rev. U.Z. Gilmer and the remains were laid to rest in the Wiley cemetery by the side of his wife, who died about ten years ago. Henry A. Schultz was born in Adams county, Ohio, August 18, 1825. In 1850 he was married to Miss Olive Haines, and to this union were born seven children, four of whom preceded their parents in death. In 1854 he moved to McLean county, Ill., settling on a farm near Danvers. The family resided there until 1880; when they moved to Colfax. Mr. Schultz learned the blacksmithing trade, and after moving to Colfax worked at the trade steady until a little over a year ago, when old age compelled him to give up the work. He was a well preserved man for his age, as is attested by the fact that he followed his chosen work until nearly 80 years of age. the family were among the oldest residents of Colfax, and one of his deceased daughters was the second person to die in this town. Mr. Schultz was not a member of any church, although his wife was a member of the M.E. church. Old age began to tell on him, and he began to fail, and last Friday he was seized with a hemorrhage of the brain, which brought on unconsciousness and caused his death Sunday. Besides the three children, Mrs. Minnie Willhite and Dr. Charles E. Schultz of Colfax, and Mack H. Schultz of Bloomington, he leaves to mourn his loss two brothers, Ferdinand, of Colfax, and John S., of Lewis, Iowa, and three sisters living in Ohio. Those present from out of town at the funeral were Mrs. Mack Schultz and daughter, Mrs. Wm. O'Connor, and Mrssars. John Willhite, Frank Gillespie and T.S. Hodges, all of Bloomington. http://members.tripod.com/GenFamily/excerpts16.html
