         CHARLES WILLIAM SCHULZ, a well-to-do farmer of Canton town-
       ship, Buffalo county, proprietor of the homestead established
       in section 24 by his father, was born in Germany, May 1, 1858,
       son of JOHN and CAROLINE (RIECH) SCHULZ. He was an infant but
       two years old when he accompanied his parents to America, and
       was about four when in 1862 they settled in Canton township,
       this county. Here in his boyhood he attended the district
       school and as he grew older helped his father to clear and
       develop the home farm, on which he has lived continuously up
       to the present time, except for a period of two years. Finally
       succeeding to the ownership of the property, he has made further
       improvements on it, among them being the construction of the
       present brick farm house and substantial barn. To the acres
       constituting the farm when it came into his possession he has
       since added ninety more, making a total area of 240 acres -
       a farm large enough for his somewhat extensive operations as
       general farmer and stock raiser. His financial interests also
       include those of a shareholder in the local creamery. Reli-
       giously he is affiliated with the German Lutheran church. MR.
       SCHULZ was married, Jan. 7, 1883, to LOUISA WROBEL, daughter
       of CHARLES B. and MATILDA (DIETRICH) WROBEL. Her parents were
       natives of Germany who settled in La Crosse township, La Crosse
       county, Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. SCHULZ have had fifteen children
       and eighteen grandchildren, three of the children - AUGUST,
       ELVER and LAURA - being now deceased. Those living are EDWARD,
       THEODORE, HENRY, RUDOLPH, BERNARD, RAYMOND, MARTHA, BERTHA,
       EMMA, MINNIE, HULDA, and one as yet unnamed. The pioneer
       origin of the family is indicated by the name of the valley
       in which the homestead lies, it having been named SCHULZ
       Valley from their early occupancy.
