    HENRY SCHULTZ, owner and editor of the Sawtelle Sentinel, was born in
Brownsville, Texas, December 19th, 1872. His father, Gustave Schultz, was a
native of Hamburg, Germany. He came to America in 1861, and joined the Union
army as a member of the First Wisconsin Cavalry, under General, then Colonel O.
H. La Grange. In 1864, he returned to his native home and almost immediately
joined the French army, where he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel and, under
Maximilian, took part in the French invasion of Mexico.

    Later he returned to the life of a civilian and kept a hotel at Brownsville,
Texas. He there met and married Miss Frances Frazer, a native of Dublin,
Ireland. He lived at Brownsville until his death in 1892. Henry Schultz spent
his boyhood at Brownsville and later entered the employ of Clark & Cowts,
lithographers and printers of San Antonio, Texas, as an apprentice. He remained
with this firm for a period of five years and thoroughly mastered the trade. In
1899, he came to Los Angeles and was employed on the Los Angeles Herald. Later
in the same year he came to Santa Monica and, until 1904, he worked as the
foreman of the printing office of the Santa Monica Daily Outlook. In August,
1904, he purchased the business of the Sawtelle Sentinel of C. B. Irvine, which
he has ably conducted, materially improving the publication and the plant until
it is one of the most complete in equipment in the Santa Monica Bay district.
March 30th, 1907, Mr. Schultz married Miss Alice A., a daughter of the late
Arthur Clarence Alger, of Sawtelle. Mr. Alger was a highly esteemed citizen of
Sawtelle, a native of Afton, Wisconsin, where he grew up. He married in Nebraska
and engaged in business. By reason of failing health he came to California in
1903 from Lincoln, Neb., located in Sawtelle and engaged in the furniture
business. He was a nephew of the lamented General Russel A. Alger, late U. S.
Senator from Michigan and Secretary of War in the Cabinet of President William
McKinley. He was a popular citizen, a member of the F. and A. M. and the M. W.
of A. He died August 1st, 1906, leaving a widow and daughter. Mrs. Alger was, by
maiden name, Mary Woodman, a daughter of Daniel and Mary Woodman of Ohio. She
was born in Waushara, Wisconsin. She descends from Puritan stock, her earliest
ancestors having come to America in the Mayflower. Mrs. Schultz is a woman of
literary accomplishments, and is a constant contributor to the Scientific
American, writing upon scientific subjects. She is also on the literary staff of
the Los Angeles Examiner. Mr. and Mrs. Schultz have one son, Arthur Clarence,
born February 14th, 1908.
