ROCK SPRINGS, Wis. — Mrs. Nancy Schulte, pioneer Wisconsin settler, who recalled accompanying her father through the forests when he went to the nearby settlement of Loganville to cast his battle for Abraham Lincoln, died here Monday at the age of 97.
Mrs. Schulte was brought to this state by her parents from Pennsylvania when she was one year old.
After purchasing 80 acres at $1.25 an acre, Mrs. Schulte's father, Phillip Colling, built the family's first permanent home without the use of metal of any kind. Their first harvest, seven bushels of wheat, was ground at a mill in Baraboo which the family reached after an all day trip by wagon.
Another memory of Mrs. Schulte was the sight of Chief Aha Schaker of the Winnebago tribe, who often ate at the family table on his trips to and from the hunting grounds in the north.
************
MRS. SCHULTE lived all of her 96 years in Wisconsin on the same farm homestead except for a short period which she spent with her son Erwin.
Mrs. Schulte's husband died in 1922. Surviving are four sons, Erwin, Rock Springs; Clarence, who lived with his mother at the farm home; Arthur, San Diego; Daniel, who lives on an adjoining farm, and a daughter, Mrs. Ella Klipstein, Des Plaines, Ill.
Funeral services will be held Thursday at 2 in the Methodist church, town of Westfield. The Rev. B. B. Zuener, pastor of the North Freedom Methodist church, will officiate. Friends may call at the Gant funeral home, Reedsburg, until noon Thursday.
