      DEATH:
      21 Aug 1853 in Tuscola County, Michigan. Date from gravestone inscription.

      BURIAL:
      Juniata Township Cemetery AKA Watrousville Cemetery Juniata Township, Tuscola, Michigan. Gravestone reads J K Shultz, died 21 Aug 1853, aged 41 years 11 months, 21 days.

      NOTES ON GRAVESITE:
      Basically Watrousville is a few buildings on the corner of M-81 and Ringle Rd in Tuscola County. Just west of the corner on the north side of the road is the Juniata Township Cemetery. The cemetery is also referred to as the Watrousville Cemetery. The cemetery is small, just a few hundred graves. I found it to be quite clean and well maintained.

      The first group of stones I came to look for consists of 3 graves, but 2 stones. The taller stone, about a 3 1/2 foot tall spire, is engraved on the left side J.K. Shultz DIED Aug. 21, 1853 Aged 41 yrs 11 mos 21 days. The opposite side is engraved Hannah Shultz DIED Dec 10, 1865 Aged 50 yrs 1 mo 5 days. Right next to this taller stone is a stone engraved C.A. Schultz Co F 2 Mich Inf. Next to the stone is an American flag. Right behind the stone is a metal plaque which reads Albert C Schultz Corp Co F 2 Mich Inf Civil War. (Note how it went from C. A. to Albert C.)

      The next group of stones I wanted to look at consists of 3 stones in a row with a fourth stone in the middle represented only by a base in the ground. The first stone is engraved Lucia E wife of Andrew Shultz died Mar 13, 1867 Aged 27 yrs 1 mo 27 dys. The 2nd stone is engraved Lucia (hard to read-but here goes) 22 Aug 1877 10 yrs m 20dys daughter of A & L Shults. The third stone is the one which is missing. (According to Gloria Hall in 1939 the stone was read as Andrew Shults died 18 Jan 1873 age 63 yrs 3 mo 14 dys. With a note in the 1990’s that the stone is now missing.) The fourth stone reads Samuel infant son of A & L Shults Died Mar 9, 1866.

      The final group of stones which I wanted to see consists of 3 stones. The first reads Emiley Smith(Emily Shultz) Died Jan 1 A.D. 1865 Aged 17 yrs 7 m’s 8 d’s. The next stone reads George Spickerman Died Sept 5, 1883. Aged 10 yrs 5 mos 21 dys. The final stone reads Harriet C Spickerman Mother of George Spickerman Apr 21, 1851 Apr 13, 1929

      NOTES ON PROBATE RECORDS:
      File #1-89, Tuscola County, Michigan Probate Records, Estate of Jesse K Shultz:
      We show Jesse Shultz dying in 1853, but the probate file was opened in 1866. Hannah, Jesse's wife died in Dec 1865 which is what triggered the probate, because now the real estate and other assets had to be disbursed to the heirs. I think that the prevailing law is that the real estate belongs to the husband, but the wife can stay there until she dies, then it goes into probate. Many of the papers mention the estate of both Jesse K Shultz and C Albert Shultz, deceased. (he is also referred to as Albert Shultz or Charles Albert Shultz on one paper). C Albert is one of Jesse's sons on the census, so apparently he died between 1860 and 1866. There is also a reference to the estate of Hannah Shultz. So all 3 people are included in this one file.
      Jesse Fox (the spouse of Lucinda Shultz) was appointed guardian of the minors; Thomas Shultz, Harriet Shultz and Jesse Zephaniah Shultz (also referred to as Zephaniah Shultz or Jesse Z).
      The date of death is almost never mentioned, it is always the previously deceased, so I would guess that the date is not important to the probate court. Fortunately one of the receipts for services rendered listed an approximate date for Jesse's death. William Johnson, apparently a Doctor billed the estate for services performed: "surgical services provided to Mr. Shultz in 1852 (“or at the date of his death”) and on Mrs. Shultz at her death in December 1865; (only one paper had an actual death date for Jesse K, but it was not entirely legible, I could read Aug 1853), (from cemetery transcriptions we know Jesse K died 21 Aug 1853 and Hannah died 10 Dec 1865).
      So, who are the heirs?
      Lucinda Fox (who also purchased the rights of Joseph Shultz in the estate of C.A. Shultz), Mary E Russell of Juniata (Mary’s husband, Henry E Russell is the administrator of the estate) Thomas Shultz of Fairgrove, Harriet Shultz, Zephaniah Shultz and Albert A Smith (this would be the child of Emily who died 1 Jan 1865, leaving 2 month old Albert without a mother). (Emily was married to Alanson Smith, I do not know what happened to him). Also David Altingburg (Altingberry?) purchaser of the rights of Joseph Shultz, I believe in regards to Jesse K estate. Apparently my ancestor was in need of quick cash at the time.
      There is a receipt where Joseph Shultz signed for his share of the estate of C Albert Shultz. He received $48.84. It is signed Joseph O. Shultz.
      58 papers in the file, some of them written on both sides, so a lot to look up. Other items of interest.
      Gearhart Kile filed an objection to the sale of the estate in that it was not handled fairly. He stated that he was prepared to offer $2000 for the real estate, as were other people and that it was sold for too little. Gearhart apparently wanted to purchase the estate using credit terms for part of the payment, which is why his bid was not allowed.
      The auctioneer filed a statement that the sale held at the hotel of G.W. Buddington of Watrousville was conducted fairly. He obtained a bid of $1662. He announced to everyone in the room, that if he did not receive a higher bid he would close the sale. He then closed the sale. The judge ruled that the sale was conducted fairly.
      There was also a petition filed by Jesse Fox that Henry E Russell had concealed and disposed of certain assets. I cannot tell what that was about.
      There is also a note that papers are missing from the file.
