The Biography of REBECCA SHULTZ
Daughter of George Jacob Shultz & Elizabeth Creager
by Francis D. Motschman, Sr


On Thu., February 5, 1846, Rebecca Shultz walked down the isle of
Matrimony with Robert Hunter, an older neighbor and friend with whom she
had
become quite attached. She was 24, being born on Sun., September 22, 1822.
He
was 37, and was born on Sun., January 3, 1809 and was the youngest of the
eight
children of William and Mary Hunter. They were happy in their marriage but
he
was ill, much more so than was suspected and he died less than a year later
on
Thu., October 14, 1847. Rebecca was devastated to have lost her husband so
soon
and especially since she had just found out that she was with child. The
baby
was born after Robert's death, on Fri., April 4, 1848. Rebecca named her
Mary
Elizabeth Hunter.

Robert was buried in the Earhart Cemetery located South of Ansonia,
Ohio on SR118.

Six years later Rebecca was taken by a young man who was two years her
junior. His name was David Hartle the son of Jacob Hartle and Catherine
Spade.
He was smittened by Rebecca, also and he got along first rate with little
Mary
Elizabeth. He was born in 1824. David and Rebecca were lovers and their
union
was blessed on Thu., June 3, 1852 just four days after the birth of their
first
child, Franklin Pearce, on Sun., May 30, 1852. This was scandalous in
this
time and they probably took a few jabs from some righteous acquaintances.

Putting their past behind them they proceded to have four more children:
m. Oran C. born Wed., June 6, 1855
m. Fremont Dayton born Thu., May 8, 1856
m. David O. born in 1859 and
f. Calla Bell "Callie" born in July, 1863

David died in 1904 and Rebecca died on Sun., Jan. 22, 1899, both were
buried in the Beamsville Cemetery, Richland Twp., Darke County, Ohio.
