  WILLIAM SCHULZE. Outagamie county has its full share of manufacturers, financiers, professional and business men and statesmen, but particularly is it noted for the high standard set by its agriculturists, who have done so much during the past few decades towards making this county one of the garden spots of Wisconsin. One of the representative agriculturists of Outagamie county, who is operating his land along scientific lines, is William Schulze, of Center township. His grandfather, who was the founder of the family in America, was born in Germany, and came to the United States when he was twenty-one or twenty-two years old. He first settled in Milwaukee county, Wisconsin, where he worked as a day laborer, but eventually moved to Outagamie county and bought a farm in Greenville township, where his death occurred October 16, 1876. August Schulze, father of William and son of the emigrant, was born in Milwaukee, February 15, 1851, and was four years old when his parents removed to Outagamie county. On June 6, 1872, he was married to Kathrina Lubben, who was fourteen years old when she came with her parents to this country from Germany. John and Sophia Lubben settled in Center township and became well-known and prosperous farming people. Up to the time of his marriage Mr. Schulze had always worked on his father's farm, but after that event he went to Appleton and secured work in the factories, in which he remained for two years. At this time he felt he had saved enough to enable him to invest in some farming land, and accordingly purchased a tract in Ellington township, on which he lived for twenty-seven years. He then sold that land and purchased a farm in Center township, but after ten years here he retired. He died November 23, 1910. Mr. and Mrs. Schulze had four children, namely: William; Robert, who died December 12, 1900, aged twenty-five years; Henrietta, born December 11, 1878, who is living with her brother and mother; and Augusta, who died February 28, 1901, aged eighteen years . William Schulze was born January 3, 1872, in Ellington township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, and received his education in the district schools. At the age of sixteen years he learned the cheese-making trade, which he followed for six years, and then spent the following four years at buttermaking. In 1901 he came to Center township and started to work on the home farm, and since his father's death he has been renting it. Mr. Schulze has a nice property, well-kept and presenting a neat. and prosperous appearance. He has kept the buildings in good repair, and has; made improvements to the comfortable residence, in which he lives with his sister and mother. The family belongs to the German Lutheran Church of Center.
