My Genealogy Hound

William W. Schulte (deceased) was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1813, where he grew up, and for ten years worked at making tile for roofing and brick. In 1838 he married Miss Anna M. C. Ahring, who was also born in Hanover, in 1812. They then started for America, settled in St. Louis for some time, and then came to Gasconade County, settling on Second Creek, and here Mr. Schulte died, in 1875. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, as is his wife who is now living on the old farm. Of their family of seven children, William F. is the only son now living in this county, where he was born in 1845. While growing up he learned the blacksmith’s trade, but never worked at the same to any great extent. Having worked among the farmers until 1865, he married Miss Louise C. Danna, a native of Franklin County, Mo., born in 1845, and the result of this union was the birth of three children—all sons. In 1870 his wife died, and the following year he married Miss Henry G. Doerman, a native of Gasconade County, born in 1859. To them four children were born, three sons and a daughter. In 1865 Mr. Schulte settled upon the place where he now lives, and which consists of 324 acres. He has passed all his life in this county, and is accounted a good farmer. He is a Republican in his political belief, and he and wife are members of the Evangelical Church.
