ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT FARMERS OF DOUGLASS TOWNSHIP
Edwin K. SCHULTZ (picture), of Niantic, is one of the largest and most
progressive farmers in Douglass township, this county. Mr. SCHULTZ is a son of the
late Amos SCHULTZ, of Washington township, Berks county, and was born in
Douglass township, August 1st, 1848. Up to the age of fifteen years he attended the
public schools of his district and then went to work on a farm. Later he
learned the trade of miller under his father and followed that business for ten
years in his native township. In 1872 he engaged in farming on a tract of land of
one hundred and twenty-five acres, which he still continues to cultivate. Mr.
SCHULTZ gives his attention to general farming, the dairy and produce of all
kinds. Mr. SCHULTZ is a prominent member of the Niantic Dairymen's Association
and served as president and manager of the Niantic creamery for many years.
He is a trustee of Perkiomen Seminary, of Pennsburg, and has been treasurer of
that institution since 1892. He is also interested in the Boyertown National
Bank and other financial institutions. The SCHULTZ's were some of the first
German-American settlers of Pennsylvania and Edwin is one of the descendants. The
family originated in Lower Silesia, Germany, but have been located in this
county since 1734.
