I just asked about Nellie and realized what I had said made no sense since Nellie died before William was born. Allow me to start over. I am seeking further information about the Schultze family. Rev. John H. Schultze (1855-1911) was a minister in the German Evangelical Association, although it appears that when he lived in Ransom he had a grain silo business. His second wife, Louisa Baker (1865 - 1941) was the mother of Lester W. Schultze, born in Ransom in 1873, died when he last lived in Peoria in 1973. Lester m. Helen Hagi, and had a daughter, Luella E. Schultze. He later m. Bertha Williamson, and they had a son, William, in 1929. Tali in California

Hi, The Ransom Centennial Book has a large group picture of early 1900's business people. Among the men pictured is J. H. Shultz, but I don't know which one he is. ..from a half page history of the Hagi family ..Frank R. Hagi, son of Jacob, continued with his father's thriving business, and sons, Frank, Jr., and Ival were also Ransom businessmen. Jack has the Hagi Funeral Home in Streator. A daughter, Ruth (Reed) lives in Tennessee, and one daughter, Helen, is deceased. Is this your Helen that married Lester?

Yes, Helen Hagi who married Lester Schultze was the daughter of Frank Hagi. Does it say what kind of business Frank and his father, Jacob, was engaged in? Thanks for the mention of the picture, which includes J. H. Shultz. Is there any mention of his business? -----Original Message----- From: Joan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 7:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ILLASALLE] Schultze family - BAKER, HAGI, WILLIAMSON Hi, The Ransom Centennial Book has a large group picture of early 1900's business people.
