Jacob Schultz was a merchant for many years in Claiborne County. He moved his
family to Springfield, Green County, Missouri where he had estabished a fine
large farm at the beginning of the Civil War. When the call to arms sounded, he
followed the Confederates to Texas where provisional headquarters were set up.
His wife and children, with the exception of Alexander and Benjamin F. were
left to care for the farm. When the northern armies swept through Missouri,
they set fire to everything but one cabin, chased off the Negro slaves, and
confiscated all of the livestock. In the last part of the War, Jacob returned
home, driven there by a friend in a wagon, and so ill that he died within two
days and was buried before his two boys, Hugh and William, could see him. Both
boys were in Sedelia on business. Benjamin F. Schultz remained in Texas aafter
the war, but eventually returned to Springfield to help his mother re-stock her
farm. Alexander was lost in the War and never heard from again.
The life of Louisiana Schultz, this gallent woman, unused to hard labor and
vicissitudes of frontier life, is well illustrated in her letters written
during the War. She died in Springfield, Missouri and is buried in Maple Hill
Cemetery there.

Gabriel Shackleford. He suffered greatly during the War and was kept a prisoner
for a week in the Springfield Courthouse. He was married to Elizabeth Cloud on
5-13-1858. William was a mason and a member of the ME Church. The History of
Green County spoke of him "Mr. Norfleet is one of the Springfield's most
affluent citizens and a thorough gentlemen." His father died in Texas in
1868 and his mother died at Ebenezer Campground in 1862 at the age of 45.
William was the eldest of four sons and he and Elizabeth had seven children.
Five of them lived, three sons and two daughters. We have not been able to

Benjamin Franklin Schultz (Jacob Jr., Jacob Sr., Martin) "Merchant and
druggest", was born on Sycamore Creek in Claiborne County, Tennessee, five
miles southeast of Tazewell, Feb. 23, 1842, the son of Jacob and Louisiana
(Cloud) Schultz; of German and Scotch-Irish origin, the former born in this
county in 1799 and deceased in Greene County, Missouri in 1865 and the latter
in Lee County, Virginia in 1812 and deceased in Greene County in 1884. They
lived in Claiborne County until 1858, when they removed to near Springfield,
Missouri and engaged in agricultural pursuits with success until the breaking
out of hostilities between the sections, when they retired South with their
family.
Jacob Schultz Sr., the grandfather, came from Germany before the Revolution
with his parents and settled in Virginia, and then was among the first settlers
of Claiborne County, whilst the red man still occupied the country. Our
subject, the third of seven children, grew up in Claiborne County, assisting
his father's store and labored on the farm until the first call to arms, when
at the age of nineteen, he entered Capt. Campbell's Company of Missouri State
Guards, commanded by General Sterling Price on June 1, 1861, taking part in the
battle of Oak Hills and many other engagements in the state service until the
army fell back from behind the Osage to Neosho, where the Legislature
assembled, and on the 28th day of Oct. 1862, the state severed its connection
with the Federal Union. After this the Missouri troops were mustered into the
regular Confederate service and he became a member of Campany (A) Third
Missouri Cavalry, commanded by Col. Calton Green of Marmaduke's division,
operating and taking part in the state of MO, KS, AR, LA, and the Indian
Territory, and taking part in the battles of Pea Ridge, Helena, Little Rock,
and Jenkin's Ferry. He was wounded in one of the battles, suffering the loss of
an eye. He accompanied General Price on his great raid through Missouri and
Kansas in the fall of 1864, and then returned with the army through Indian Territory.
He accompanied General Price to Louisiana where he remained until the last
organization of the Confederate Army of the Trans-Mississippi Department had
surrendered.
He then went to navarro County, TX and engaged in the carrying trade between
Millican and Dallas for about two years to it's repair, it's having been ruined
by the lawless Kansas robbers under Jim Lane. In 1868, he returned to Tazewell,
and for about four years sold goods for S.C. & J. and then for thirteen
years following, he was a partner with J.W. Devine in the mercantile business,
until 1885 when J.W. Devine withdrew from the firm.
On April 30, 1872, he married to Eliza J. Johnson, daughter of Col. Thomas J.
Johnson & Eliza J. Johnson (nee Graham) the latter born in County Tyrone,
Ireland with her ancestors fled from Scotland on account of their complicity I
some of the rebellions, in which their property was taken by the crown. Of
three sons and two daughers, the eldest daughter is deceased. Our subject is a
Democrat and he and his wife are Presbyterians. He was a Postmaster and
Cumberland Gap in 1894.*

Benjamin F. Schultz was a man of great intelligence and
sensitivity, and it would be a disservice to publish a book without including
some of his writings taken from his diary of 1871, written while he was living
in Tazewell. He had a tremendous grasp of international affairs, and he prophesied
trouble and perhaps war with Russia in his writing of January 7, 1871 as follows:
"1 a.m., mail came in from Cumberland Gap. Stage turned over down
Coumberland Mountain, but no one hurt. I arose at 5 a.m. thinking it day, the
moon shining so brightly. Morning clear-- cloudy by noon -- looking very much
like snow. Reports from the seat of Mar are bad. The attitude of Russia toward
Turkey is threatening. It may be, however, that if the present Great Briton and
-- stand firm, the Northern Bear may be connnvinced that the hour to strike is
not yet. But the Bear will make the attempt sooner or later, and he is only
biding his time. Strong as is Russia's intention to seize Constantinople, the
key to the Orient, as the next stop is continental dominion, just as strong is
England's that he shall not possess this key to the East and her possessions in
India. Betwixt these two great powers, Russia and England whose power girdles
the world, whose fleets phough every sea and whose drum-beats heralds the dawn
through the entire circuit of the sun, there is yet to be a conflict in which
will be involved the whole of Europe and possibly America. This will be such a
war as the world has ever seen, and one that must pale the terrors of the
Franco-Prussian War, and the great struggles of past battles fade into
insignificance. The result of this great war, no mortal can have the least
conception."
His quick mind could change and describe the beauties of nature in the
mountains around Tazewell as well as write of internation affairs. On another
page of his diary, he writes:
"Mr. Word bringing out his telescope or field glass, we took an
enlarged view of the country making everything look fearfully near, bringing
the hills and mountains almost within our grasp. Then reversing the instrument,
the whole face of nature was changed into a distant scenery, not at all like
seen before the natural eye, but more like that of a finely executed oil
painting of some distant scenery -- the mountains looming up in the background
marking the horizon with a long blue undulating lines above and beyond which
….. light fleecy cloud of an auriferous dye. The whole landscape seemed as
though it was painted on canvas, making the most strikingly beautiful picture
that I have ever seen.
After feasting my eyes on the beauties of assisted nature, I, in company with
Millard Parker, went to "grave-yard hill",
where we could get a more extended view. Looking in a north easterly direction,
we beheld the most beautiful landscape ever witnessed by a mortal. Th the right
of our picture rose majestically, Walden's Ridge, and stretching but as far as
the eye could reach; marked with farms extending half way up it sides and over
and above, could be seen the crest of Powell's Mountain, running parallel to
the former and finally disappearing as behind the earth's curvature.
Directly in our front, lay a broken country of hills and vallies, farms and
forests alternately. Nere were to be see dark groves of cedar, and whose brown
fields of sage grass. On our left, we could trace the cold black wall of that
mighty barrier, the Alps of America, the Cumberland mountains. Nere we could
see crag piled on crag, and mountain on mountain interminable, but dimly marked
through the smoky atmosphere between. Nere we stood upon, and at out feet were
the relics of war, the old Fort -- and
here the ruined and dilapidated graves of Tazewell's best citizens who were not
left alone in their peace of death -- not only were the cities and habitations
of the living laid in ruins and plundered, but the quiet cities of the dead,
too were plumderend and ruined by the vile and mercenary hordes of the North. They not only made war upon
the living, but carried in into the pale realms of the dead.
Then looking down at old Tazwell, we could plainly mark the mutations of time
and the ravages of War -- we could only remark what changes Tazewell has
undergone since several years ago. Her finest citizens, her best dwellings,
buildings and churches, altars and the graves of loved ones are gone forever. The
sun began to sink slowly behind the Western hills when we left, and soon
darkness came moving on in her dusky cape and leaving to me only the gloomy
shades of night which wrap all nature in her sable folds. The stars shone
brightly from the vaults of heaven where not a cloud was left to obscure the
mirror of God. So passed away the day, the holy sabbath day -- this day never
to return."
His great sadness, perhaps stemmed from the plundering by Northern soldiers, of
his parents many acres and large home in Missouri. His mother Louisiana,
widowed by the war was left alone, with four children to rear, and her farm in
total ruin.
On B(restworks) Hill where David Chadwell lies buried among his slaves, the
headstones were overturned by northern soldiers occupying hill, during the
Civil War, and broken into pieces, so there is no way to mark the grave of the
Revolutionary patriot and ancestor (MWB)

Random Excerpts from Diary of Benjamin F. Schultz during 1871-1872
While employed at Tazewell at Postoffice.
Saturday, September 9
On this day in 1863, I witnessed the fall of Little Rock, Arkansas in the early
morning, heavy cannonading was heard several miles down the river at which
point, a detachment of the Federal Cavalry had made an attempt to cross and had
suceeded in throwing a pontoon bridge across, and landing a bridge of cavalry,
composed of the Tenth Illinois Cavalry, with whom we had previously had several
engagements -- at one time capturing the whole Regiment at Fort Stephens, and several
other regiments, after forming on the beach made a charge on our brigade, who
had just arrived at the scene, and hastily formed in the woods some three
hundred yards from the landing. When we opened a heavy fire upon the advancing
column, or line causing them to fall back in disorder to the waters edge, and
some recrossing the river, capturing two fine mountain horizons and preventing
any other body of troops crossing or reinforcing those that were already on the
South side, until nearly noon, when learning that a heavy force had crossed
farther below and was attempting to cut us off from the main army now in full
retreat from the City and fortifications of the north, on the road to Benton,
our little command then rapidly fell back under a heavy fire of artillery
placed on the opposite bank, just one mile below the city.
My ordinance wagons were still on the North side of them and were among the
last to cross, and just in time to save ourselves witnessing the burning of all
the government buildings and factories, and machine shops of the C.S.A., plus
the stem boats at the wharf, several gun boats, and a great general
conflagration of government property. Just after crossing and cutting our
pontoons loose, the whole Federal Army made its appearance on the opposite side
and lay there as if doubting the evacuation of the place.
Our army too, lay in sight of the enemy until our huge train could get its
sluggard coil untolled upon the road, which was evening when our army began
slowly to move out. The cavalry under General Marmaduke was given to cover our
retreat. At sunset, we had only reached an old camp that we had previously
occupied, where we remained an hour or so and then followed in retreat,
traveling all night but making very slow progress on account of the trains
ahead, which were of huge progortions. We had only made a few miles when
morning came. Generals St._____ and P ______ were in command of the Federal
armies, and General Price commanding the Confederates. Gen. ______ being sick
andunable for duty. So ended this day of defeat.
Sunday, September 10
Morning clear and bright. Breakfast being over, I prepared for Sunday School,
where we had quite a controversy on "the temptation of Christ by the
devil" in which I contended that Christ was not tempted by the devil, but
only an attempt was made by the devil to tempt Christ. After Sunday School we
had preaching by Walker, on the subject of "election", which he was
advised last Sunday by Clarke not to preach saying it would make harm; but after
the sermon, I could not see the harm it would or could make. I did notice that
there were no fights on the street, as was said to be the case. Preaching over,
we went to Mr. Clouds for dinner, remaining until evening and sat in
conversation of the platform until supper time, when in company of Boss Scott
(Boston Scott) to Walters and took supper. We then returned to the store, where
we heard chrch bells rung for prayer meeting, but I did not go. The remarks of
my War narrativer were intended for today the 10 of September, but I mistook
the date thinking yesterday was the 10th. Night again clear and beautiful.
(Benjamin F. Schultz was rather unorthodox in religious beliefs, of that time,
although they would not seem so unusual in this year of 1970 - MWB)
Tuesday, September 26
Morning cool and cloudy since the rain last night, but after the early morning
it became clear and remained so all day though cool. At 9 p.m. we had prayer
meeting where we had some feelings of religion "manifested". Prayer
meeting again at night where a good many went up to the anxious seat. A sermon
was preached by Carlon, about the wind up of which I left and went to the
store, where I had a good fire and where shortly Jno. Wood came in, and we had
a discussion of the excitement going on at the church, which we both pronounced
wrong. I cannot believe in religion, gotten during such excitement or through
the heat of passion, aroused by such a train of superstitious exhortations. I
cannot really call them exhortations, for I see more harm and folly in them
than good. I do not doubt their moral teachings but then they are leading the
young and weak minded astray and into a wrong belief. Heartfelt or monomaniacal
religion (if there is such a thing, and I believe there is such a thing as the
distraction of the mind on this or that subject). I think that it ought to be
felt under circumstances far different, while the mind is cool, calm and
seasoned for deep and searching thought; when it is entirely unbiased by
frightful stories, death bed scenes of loved ones; horrors of hell and
everything of a nature calculated to irritate the tender and weak-minded of the
young and superstitious. If this is the true mode of the administration of Gods
pardon to man, oh that I may be led to such a belief -- but I cannot yet
believe in such a doctrine.
September 16, 1871
Morning densely cloudy pretending rain and very warm. Last night after going to
bed, I heard a commotion and a loud noise down the street which I learned this
morning to have been a grand riot and fight at the hotel. A fellow named Miller
from Lee County, Virginia came in town after a rain thoroughly drenched and
after taking a few drams of the "over-joyful", got into a row with
Lewis Fawbush, winding up in a general… (Can't read the rest of entry)
Tuesday, Oct. 3rd, 1871
On my road to supper I was accosted by several ladies who wanted to know why I
did not (practice?) religion and join the Church, and were very curious to know
my faith and doctrine. All of which was told then in a "nutshell",
belief in the existence of a God -- and of Jesus Christ, that he was … our
mediator, and died on the cross for the sins of the world, and arose from the
dead, all of which I believe from Genesis to Revelation; then re… in a spirit
of contrition, asking god thru Jesus Christ to ofrgive and pardon wrongs
committed to the fullest amount, doing unto others as I would have them do unto
me; strict … to the Ten Commandments, living an upright and moral life, so far
as possible; and then asking God's forgiveness of sins afterwards and during
our ... lives, as none of us are infallible. Good for evil, mercy toward our
enemies, sympathy with the weak, charity to the poor -- when this is done, my
conscience tells me that the "Great I am", has listened to my prayers
and has pardoned me, as he has promised in his immutable word, "seek and
ye shall find", ask and ye shall receive, knock and it will be opened unto
you. What more can we do.
And this is it. They seemed to think it strange, this doctrine, but they could
not understand it or any part of it, although I had already gotten it added to
my faith and without preaching. This is the pure religion of nature and
nature's God; the first and the last, and only religion that is worth one cent.
Faith without … will never remove mountains. There is no excellence without
great labour, no heaven for those that do not … commandments. "By the
sweat of your brow shall ye eat." With this I left my … probably
bewildered who seemed to think this was right, but had never before thought on
the subject, and had been taught another belief.

Tuesday, November 7
Morning a little cloudy, boding rain, but after the sun had gotten fairly up it
became very bright and beautiful. I came over from Mr. Clouds very early and
wrote some, after which Mrs. Cloud and Miss Angie Smith came over and with whom
I went to the gallery and who had some pictures taken. Afternoon, I again went
in company with Miss Mary Ann Johnson and had ours taken together. Several
other young ladies soon went up for the same purpose. Evening I went down to
Mrs. Grahams where I had been invited, remaining until after supper and sat for
an hour or more in conversation. When I arrived at the store, I wrote several
compositions, among which was an introductory love letter for J. G. Chadwick.
Night dark and clear.
Bob Robinson Great grandson of Schultz, Mascot Tenn. Contributed a small item
written by his Aunt Kate Aiken in which she said, "One time when I was
visiting Brother Sterling in the old Schultz house, I made some remark, and Mr.
Schultz said "Kate, let me quote you a verse:
"God forbid that I should grow so fond,
To trust man on his work or bond,
The dog that lieth sleeping,
The harlot that is weeping,
The keeper of my freedom
Or my friends if I should need them.
By Benjamin F. Schultz, one of the smartest old gentlemen I ever knew."

Tazewell, that he thought might have been remnants of an ancient city, which
should be interesting to a modern day geologist.
January 18, Wednesday (1870 or 1871)
Early morning cloudy, but at sunrise, it became perfectly clear and the day
turned out to be one of remarkable lovliness being warm and pleasant. After
having finished the survey which took us until 2 p.m., we returned to Mark
Hursts, where dinner was awaiting us and which we downed with the relish of a
labourer. On the road, we came to a place where the path led across a hill that
was beautifully paved as the streets of any city -- the stones being of various
sizes, from a foot square to a huge slab all nicely fit and arranged as though
they had been placed there by human hands. I have no doubt they were placed there
by a people many ages ago, probably before the ____. This may have been the
paved streets of some ancient city, or it resembles more a mammoth wharf, lying
in the position of a wharf, being a right inclined plan without the least
curvature or undulation in its smooth and unbroken surface of about 200 yards,
from the foot to the apex or crest. A great portion of the surface of this
giant causeway is entirely bare while other parts are covered with a thin
coating that has washed down from the top and lodged in the crevices of the
rocks. Here and there are a few sickly cedars, which have pierced their roots
into the joints of this closely fitted masonry, or crept like wall ivy along
this vast mass, only covered by a mere handful of earth and leaves.
This piece of architecture, lies along the face of the hill, at an angle of
about 40 degrees, and facing the morning sun. Could it be possible that this
huge mass of masonry, is the side of a pyramid of no less magnitude than that
bearing the name of ____, or was this a place of worship, the heathen altar of
superstition. Could this have been the sacred place of the promulgation of the
revelation of the "____", whether this has been the work of the
superstitious and adolatrous aborigines,or anti ___, or whether the formation
by nature or nature's God, no mortal can tell. But truly it is a wondrous and
mysterious structure, and one that would admit of an examination into its
geology and the period of its formation. How wonderful are the works of man,
and how much more these of God. Late evening I returned to town.

FRANK JAMES VISITS BENJAMIN SCHULTZ AT TAZEWELL IN 1875
An interesting sidelight on the life of Benjamin Schultz was his friendship
with Frank James, the notorious Missouri outlaw, and brother of Jesse James.
Benjamin and Frank served under General Price in the confederate Army, both
drove ordinance wagons in some battles. Before that Frank James had ridden with
Quatrell's men.
It would have been a strange friendship, on the surface -- Benjamin Schultz
being an honorabel and high principled man, of unusual intelligence, but, on
looking deeper in the family history, we find that they were bound by family
ties as well as friendship.
The parents of Jesse and Frank James were known to have been highly respectable
people -- Mrs. James being from a good Kentucky family, the Shacklefords. Dr.
Gabriel Shackleford came down from Kentucky and married Benjamin Schultz' aunt,
Nancy M. Cloud in Tazewell, Tennessee. Dr. Shackleford was an esteemed
physician and citizen of Tazewell until his wife's death and he went to
Missouri. Nancy Cloud's sister married a Norfleet, whose family also married
into the Shackleford family. But a close family tie was Benjamin's sister's
marriage to W. S. Norfleet in Springfield, Missouri. W.S. Norfleet was a son of
David Norfleet and Elizabeth Shackleford. That Benjamin and Frank James'
friendship survived the War is revealed in Dr. Robert L. Kincaid's book,
"The Wilderness Road."
In a chapter describing a hanging in Tazewell on August 23, 1875, Kincaid
writes that there was a crowd of people gathered to see the hanging of a
convicted murderer, estimated to be between five and six thousand people -- men
and women and children. Kincaid opines that if the people had known it, their
attention to a well built, bronzed, man with steel gray eyes would have vied
with the interest of seeing a man hanged. For that man in the crowd was Frank
James who had accidentally fallen in with a company of riders, and with his
companion, George Shepard, had arrived in Tazewell to visit his old companion
of the Confederate Army, Benjamin Schultz. The steely eyed James had given a
native a five dollar gold piece to find him a good seat. In 1893 when Frank
James was a member of the St. Louis Police Force, he went to Nashville to seek
information about the death of his old chieftain, William Clarke Quantrill, who
was killed in Kentucky during the close of the Civil War. At that time he told
Nashville friends that it was a quiet interim in the careers of him and his
brother Jesse, that took him to Tazewell. It was easy for a man to hide himself
in the wild Kentucky hills where men still lived much as they wished.

"My son Martin Van Buren Schultz married Margaret Dunsmore, daughter of
William Dunsmore of Irish descent -- a good liver and an honest and industrious
family. On July 4, 1857 he divorced Margaret and in 1858 married a second wife
Charity Martin of Hancock, County."
"My son G. B. (b. 1852) married a Stone, daughter of I. H. Stone whose
wife was a Harper. My son J. P. (Dr. married in State of Louisiana at Minden. I
have never seen her. My grandson David (son of Martin V.) born in 1855 married
Alice Hurst, daughter of Fanny and Isaac Hurst. My grandaughter, Sary Schultz,
married Boston Scott. My Grandaughter Mary Chadwell (daughter of Emmeline
Shultz) married ____, his mother a Rose. (faded ink defied name) My grandson
Franklin Chadwell (also son of Emmeline, and born in 1844) married a Robinson,
her mother was a Hurst, daughter of Mark Hurst.
In a letter from Barthena Ritter, fram Madison County, Ill. February 11, 1868
to Hulda Schultz Cloud, she speaks of Uncle Dave Cottrell, Elick Chadwell, Jake
Schultz, and of going to Arkansas. Also of money that "Mose Cottrell got
from office "for them". We have not identified Barthena Ritter.
In 1840 Census of Claiborne County, where children are not identified
individually, it seems that George B. and Mary Schultz had at least six
children, 2 boys and 4 girls. According to old letters from Willis boy, it
indicates that one daughter married a Willis.
One of Emmeline's sons identified as A. M. Chadwell, and called Eck. Probably
named Alec and called Eck for short, got into trouble in Claiborne County, and
had to leave. He visited his uncle Dr. J. P. Schultz in Minden, and also
different relatives spoke, in letters of hearing from him, and asking that his
mail be sent to fictitious addresses. Everyone in the family seemed to be very
fond of him.

To brother-in-law from Louisiana Cloud Schultz:

March 6, 1866
Mr. George Schultz:
Dear Brother:
I hasten to reply to your kind letter received a few days ago. I was glad to
hear that you and family are well and trying to live again. Your letter found
in bad health though it is improving. The children are well and Billie and Hugh
are making preparations for farming. I think we can live again and take a rise.
We have been making a new apple and peach orchard. We set out 400 apple trees
and 120 peach trees.
I have the finest apple orchard in the county. We put up 800 bushels of apples
and have two cellars full, but all of that does not satisfy, as the head of our
family is gone to return no more.
Dear brother, you can't draw any idea the trouble I see, my farm was entirely
destroyed, not a building on the place but one cabin. I hope that I can collect
some of our debts so that I can make improvements. I wish you to assist Lawyer
Rogan on collecting. I wish to you know that S. G. Barnard has all of Mr.
Shultz's books and papers in his hand and also H. Evans notes amounting to
upwards of $3.000. I wish collections made if possible, for I stand in need of
money, as there were false accounts came against the estate and will have to be
paid. You know that those large notes are good ones.
You are aware of how the family splurged from our store. I think they should
not hesitate to pay. I don't suppose his land will satisfy his debt. Bring
Barnard to a settlement as soon as possible. His notes amount upwards of
$4,000. Billie will make oath to what his father told him while in Texas that h
had three notes on Barnard amounting to $2,000 each and one note of $900. I
have been trying to recover those lost notes. It would be safest to not let
Barnard know that his notes could not be produced until he could make some
acknowledgement respecting the debt. The Hodges debt, you know perhaps how it
stands. Mr. Schultz always kept his business out of my knowledge and I can't
say what way to pursue, but I wish you to aid me in my unsettled business.
Brother Frank thinks it is safest to file a bill in chancery and enjoin their land.
I want the safest way to be pursued.
We received a letter from Eck Chadwell a few days ago stating that he was in
Memphis, Tenn. And that he had to leave home and did not wish his whereabouts
known. He wished us to address a letter to Charles or James Coffin, 5 Adams
St., Memphis. Also have received a letter from J. P. Shultz from New Orleans.
He was there attending the lectures. He will make his home in Minden, La. He
expected to leave New Orleans in a few days. (cannot make out the rest of
the letter)

Brother T. B.:
I got your letter a few days ago -- glad to know your are all well. I am just
recovering from an attach of bronchitis and am nowhere able to go to work, if I
had anything to do. My turn for work does not begin until June or July. I
graduated at the University of La. in March. I will soon have no heavy expenses
and shall try to accumulate something. I am in debt severa hundred dollars and
can't collect. If our crops fail again this year, we will have but little money
in the country. The cotton crop is our only resource -- when that fails, all
fails. I think I will change locations, perhaps this does not suit me all
thogether. This is a poor country "chilly and fevery" but I could
make money if I could collect it. I am sorry that our parents have to work in
their old … I do hope to be able to relieve them before a great while. I am
sorry that you named your boy after me, for I do think Jake is a D - - - of a
name for anybody. Name him James, Thomas. Give my love to our parents and tell
them I would like to see them very much. Tell sister E. that I forwarded her
letter to Mr. Moon. I think when she sends letters for me to mail, it would be better
to direct them to A. M. Chadwell for if he received letters under an assumed
name, it might cast unnecessary suspicious upon him where he is and injure him.
He is perfectly safe under his own name. There is no reward for him. He is not
advertised. I write to him under is proper name.

Brother T. B.
Dear Sir:
I have forgotten whether I have answered your last letter or not. It makes no
difference if I have not, it is only on account of business. I wrote our
parents a few days since, also to BFC (B. f. cloud) and sister A. E. Chadwell.
Since that time, I have seen A. M. Chadwell and by my advice he has gone to
Texas. Started on the 13th, and will go to Waco or thereabouts. I have
furnished him with money and as much good advice as I could think of. I do not
want him to stop in large cities. It is the worst thing a young man can do
unless he has permanent employment and big wages. I advised him to go to Texas
and go to work and be content with a small income, etc., etc. I had no means or
chance to put him into business where I have been stopping, and if I had I do
not know whether I would live there anymore. He need not have any money sent
him from home -- throw him on his own resources -- if he canot make a living
now he never will. I am sure the boy can make a good living -- he is out of the
way of his enemies and will have notheing to do but to work. You can all
address your letters to me in this city and I will forward them to him and when
I leave in the Spring. I will make arrangements in which he can get his letters
if it is necessary to conceal his whereabouts. I am expecting a letter from him
from Galveston. He went across the gulf. Tell his mother not to be uneasy about
him, he is all right. Advise him to be saving and industrious and to be
contented in our place. I will remain here until April 1st, then perhaps I may
visist you all in Tessnessee. I will live south. I do not know exactly when.
Kindest regards to all.
Yours,
J. P. Shultz

Letter to Benj. F. Cloud and wife, Hulda Schultz Cloud at Tazewell, Tenn.
Following Civil War.
Springfield, Missouri
December 28th
Dear Brother:
After a silence for several years, I now feel it is my duty to write you a few
lines -- knowing that we have all shared the same fate as it respects our
property, but the death of Mr. Schutlz is the greatest affliction that has ever
befallen my family.
We were all anxiously awaiting his return, knowing that he was a good hand to
manage and arrange business, but to our sad misfortune, he only came home long
enough for us to see him -- I have nothing left but the land, my timber was all
destroyed, and all of my buildings burned, and all of my stock taken -- although
I think we will make a raise again. I have my whole farm under fence and four
hundred acres in cultivation. This year we have ten renters and have any
quantity of corn and hay.
I spoke of going to Tennessee this winter, but owing to Benj. F. not coming
from Texas, I will have to postpone the trip until Spring.
I want you to write to me immediately upon the reception of the letter and give
me the particulars of the Countyry and see if the debts can be collected. You
know, Mr. Schutlz has a great many unsettled debts and I stand in need of it
all. Let me know the situation of Barnard, Evans, and Hodges and all others of
interest.
Dr. J. P. Schultz is in Minden, Louisiana practicing medicine. My son, D.A., is
dead I expect, as we hear nothing from him. He was at Vicksbury at the
surrender and came on to Little Rock, and no account more. Billie is at home
and Hugh had been with me all the time. Let me know what has become of yours
and Emmaline's sons.

Letter from Mary e. Smith to Aunt Hulda Shultz Cloud
Harlon County
New Middleton
July 23, 1866
Dear Aunt Hulda:
Nine long years have been numbered with the eternal (past?) and we have parted
and few indeed are the words we have spoken to each other all this lapse of
time. No one could believe that we would become such perfect strangers, but
such is human nature. Your years of blood and carnage of suffering and woe have
flown and left us with grief in our bosons -- that eternity can only efface.
The bones of our beloved and honored dead bleach on a thousand hills. We are
oppressed and downtrodden and what have we gained? Cold blooded murders have
been and are still present, but I am thankful to have escaped with my life.
All are in good health except Ad who has been sick for some time. She is at Red
Springs. She has five children. Martha has two children, Alexander and Carrick,
the last I named after my pet. Zed (or Jed) is living in Texas and she will
visit in this fall. Ad, Cloud, and Martha all live in New Middleton. Cloud's
wife has been dead over a year. John R. Moore was shot down in his home by some
robbers.
Our negroes are all gone except Nance and child. Aunt Sally and her boys have
bought some land and are living on it. She has requested me to write you a
thousand times. About Cath and children, when you write tell me all about them
so I can tell her. What has become of Lizzie? Do you remember her prophetic
words about negro freedom. I have thought of it often. Is Sarah Jones still
living? Where is Dan? Let me hear from T. P. Shultz. Are you and Said as good
friends as ever or did the war divide you?
Is Mary Chadwell married? My love to Aunt Emmeline. I guess Mary Cloud is
nearly grown. What has become of Eck and Carrack. I have a fine album and would
be so glad to have it adorned with your photographs. Tell uncle that I think he
might visit Mother once more. Mother's health is good. Pappa has made a good
hand in his hay this summer. Worked more than he has in 20 years. He is a s
young and spry as ever. All the family join me in sending love to all. All my
love to uncle and his cousins.
Your niece,
Mary E. Smith
P.S. Guess you have heard of Aunt's great misfortune, uncle's death. We are
expecting Mary Schultz every day to come and attend Middleton Academy. She will
remain three years. I have a thousand thing to tell you when I see you.
Mary

My Dear Father and Mother:
It has been some time since I have heard from you and I am afraid that I will
hear bad news. I am in good health at present and hope that these few lines may
find you enjoying the same blessing.
We have been in and out of the plains to fight the Indians. We captured a Sioux
village and a Cheyenne village and burned the Cheyenne village.
We are statined at Ft. Riley at the present and we are making a garden for the
Company I belong to. I have some Indian bows and arrows that I will send you
this summer and several other things with them. I am on guard today and will
close till I hear from you.

Dear grandfather and grandmother:
I seat myself this morning to inform you that I am in good health and present.
I hope these few lines will find you enjoying the same blessing. It has been
sometime since I heard from you. I want you to write as soon as you get my
letter. We had a big snow the night of the 15th. The weather is very warm at
present. We have had a nice winter so far, has not been very cold. Grandfather,
would I be safe if I came to see you? If you know what I mean, would the people
kill me if they knew I was a Union soldier in the U.S. Army? If you think that
I would be safe I would come to see you as soon as my time is out and I will
fetch Emmeline with me if we should live that long. And I could put up a small
store there and make a living for me and Mr. (I.?) Willis. This is the 30th of
December. We had a nice Xmas dinner. We had turkey and cranberry sauce,
potatoes, coffee, roast pork and beef, lager beer and apples all that we could
eat and drink. I pray to God that I may take a Xmas dinner with you before I
die. I am coming to see you if God spares my life till next autumn. Father and
Emmeline is in the South and are mad at me because I am in the U.S. Army. He
won't let Emmeline write to me and that is the way with others, so I am like a
lost sheep. I lie in my bed every night and think about my people and cry. I
pray to meet them in heaven. Sometimes I wish I was dead. I think about it so
much that I can't eat and weight 129 lbs.
I will send you my photograph the next time I hear from you. We will muster
tomorrow for pay. Time is pretty good here. Everything is plentiful here. Write
to me and all of my cousins and uncles and aunts. I want to hear from them all
and will answer every letter I get.

Letters to Mrs. Polly Shultz, wife of George Shultz from Louisiana Cloud Shultz
(her sister-in-law).
Springfield, Mo.
October 30, 1872
My Dear Sister:
For the first time, I will attempt to write you a few lines. I t is sometime
since brother George has written and thinking perhaps he had forgotten to
write. I would say that we are in common health at present and hope these few
lines may find you enjoying the same blessing and we should count as one of the
greatest blessings that can be bestowed on poor mortals.
We are very busy getting away our crops, have just finished getting our apples
in the collars. Have finished sowing 130 acres in wheat and are busy getting
the corn, though corn I worth nothing - only to feed the hogs. We have 30 up
fattening and it hardly pays to raise pork. I received a letter from Ben's
wife, waying he would soon leave for Missouri and other places.
I was very sorry to hear that Emmeline's health is so bad. I was in hopes that
she could leave for Texas since her great anxiety is to go to her daughter,
Mary, and family. I reckon you have another girl staying with you since sally
married and left. You would not know any of my children, Lizzie and Billy. Hugh
is fair and Sandy is dark complected and Mary is light with blue eyes. Lou has
black hair and very dark blue eyes and you would not see any resemblence to the
family. Mary is down in Arkansas on a visit and will be out to your country
this winter with Benjamin. Lou is going to the city to school and is trying to
graduate. She is taking music lessons.
My children are all anxious to see you and their uncle George. My boys are so
closely engaged on the farm that they can't find time to visit. They would not
know how to farm in Tennessee. Our farm is one mile across and our turn rows
are 1/2 mile long. You can plow all day without touching a rock. My boys are
systematic farmers although their father was not much of a farmer.
Well, Polly, I would like to see you, but it is a long and expensive trp and we
are all very poor and I am getting old and my health is not good. I have been
considerably afflicted for the last month with something like neuralgia.
How is Benton and family getting along? Is Huldah better reconciled than when I
was there? I suppose the country is improving some and your printing office in
operation and says very little. I have been taking Ben's paper for several
weeks but I don't find any interesting news in it…
Polly, you would like to hear something of Lizzie. She is one of the best you
ever saw. She is a splendid cook and can do anything around the house. She has
six children living. Her baby died this summer. She speaks often about visiting
the place of her birth and childhood. She was four children going to school.
Her oldest daughter is grown and very good looking.
Well, you are tired of so much stuff. I will close by asking you to answer
soon. My love to all of the cousins and a liberal share for yourself and
George.
I remain, your affectionate sister,
