Chicago and New York 1931 WALTER HENRY SCHULTZ, physician and surgeon, for nearly thirty years has been the professional man to whom the residents of the town of Schleswig turn in time of need and anxiety. He is one of the older men from the standpoint of continuous service in practice in Crawford County. Doctor Schultz was born in Hanover Township, Crawford County, June 16, 1877. His father was the late August Schultz, a native of Germany, who was brought to America when a child and grew up in the City of Chicago. As a young man he settled in Crawford County, and his industrious work in developing a farm was a contribution to the agricultural prosperity of that region. For many years he was a member of the county board of supervisors and represented Crawford County in the Lower House of the State Legislature for two terms. After retiring from his farm he moved to Schleswig and became president of the German Mutual Insurance Company, and was also honored with the office of mayor of the town. He died when seventy-seven years of age, in 1924. August Schultz married Hannah Fink, who was born in Chicago. She passed away at the age of sixty-nine. These parents were members of the German Lutheran Church and the father was a Democrat. Doctor Schultz was the sixth in the family of fourteen children. His early life was spent on a farm, and after the country schools he attended the Denison Normal School and had one year of teaching experience in Hanover Township. In 1900 he graduated from rush Medical College of Chicago and before entering private practice had a year and a half of experience and special training as an interne in St. Joseph's Hospital at Chicago. Doctor Schultz in 1902 located at Schleswig, where he has had a very busy practice. He owns one of the nicest homes in the town and until a few years ago owned some valuable Iowa farming land. He is a member of the Crawford County, the Iowa State and American Medical Associations, is a Republican and a German Lutheran. His recreation and hobby is automobiling, and when the time or opportunity permits him to get away from his work he gets into his car and drives, and in that way has seen a great deal of the country. During the summer of 1929 his vacation trip totaled about 3,000 miles. He married, June 2, 1905, Miss Lillian Hollander, a native of Crawford County, daughter of Asmus and Minnie (Henricks) Hollander.
