But here was my message- in full. I'm looking for a George J Schutz, who would have immigrated from Germany about 1862. It appears he was a druggist, as I am able to find the Shutz name on drug stores in Appleton in 1896 (782 College Ave), in Shawano around 1900, and Antigo WI on and after 1920. The Shawano census from June 1900 indicates the following: George J Schutz, 38, married 15 years, occupation druggist. Maria T, wife, 34, married 15 years, housewife, born in NY. All the children indicate born in WI. [Land records have her name recorded as 'Mary T' versus 'Maria T.' ] Stoddard, 13, son, at school Benjamin A, 11, son, at school Claire, 7, daugher, at school George J (must be Jr.), 1, son, at home Mary Tonna (but unsure, might be Tuma), 18, servant The 1905 census indicates all the same excepting the new servant is Ella Sieber, 17, born in WI. The 1920 Census indicates only George Sr. and George Jr. now reside in Shawano. Land records indicate he sold the house in April 1916. George Sr's marital status has changed to "divorced." The new servant is Anne Owne, 60 years old. By 1930 census, only George Sr is noted, at age 68, and occupation is "Proprietor" "Drug Store" After the 1930 census, I could find no further information on George J Schutz, Sr., excepting for a few mentions and a drug store having the Schutz name appearing in Antigo, WI. I found a draft card for Stoddard Judd Schutz, age 30 at the time and indicating his birthday as 8/24/1886, (Thus must have been signed in 1916) and indicating a Canal Street, New Orleans address, and that he is married but does not name the wife. A 1930 census indicates Stoddard Schutz in Chicago, IL, at age 43, working as a greeting card manufacturer. His wife is Bleve (sp?), age 47, born in IL, but no employment. No children mentioned. The final family member I could find was a Mark E. Schultz, 85 born 9/11/16, died, 2/11/02, and was the son of late Benjamin and Pauline (Naber) Schutz. Wife, still surving? is Isabel (Denn) Schutz. He also has a sister, Mary Christine (Richard) Boehme of Marco Island FL and a sister in law, Jean Schutz of Sun Prairie, WI. His two brothers, Paul Schutz and Dr. Weston Schutz, preceded him in death. I am very much interested in this family, since I am living in their former house. I have tracked down land records and believe they bought the land from Charles R. Stier and wife Annie in 1901. This house has not had many owners since, but each has had family members stop back to visit the house, share pictures, and allow me to take new ones to commemorate the families that lived here. Its just a neat house on Franklin Street in Shawano (although the street names and numbers have changd over the years- might have originally been Division street), and deserves to have its history documented. Plus I love to hear the stories. Any info much appreciated! Email: Jfairbairn@charter.net Thanks!!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
