J. J. SHULTZ DIES AT DELPHl Heart Trouble Fatal to Carroll Physician Delphi, May 21—Dr. Judson J. Shultz, 80, beloved physician, died at midnight after a short illness with heart trouble. Born in Camden,(1855) Carroll county, he came to Delphi at the age of eight years. He attended Delphi schools, and DePauw university for three years. He was a member of the class of 1879 and belonged to Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He graduated from the Electic Medical school of Cincinnati, and began his practice here fifty years ago with his father, Dr. Francis Aabury Shultz, who was a graduate of Asbury college, which later became DePauw university. In 1881 he and Miss Ella Home McClure, also a Delphi resident, were married. Mrs. Shultz died in 1929. Three children are living: Dr. lone Clayton, who was associated with her father in the practice of medicine; Mrs. Jean Taylor, Lafayette; Mrs. Helen Voak of Wahpeton. N. D. Mrs. Voak and son Judson McClure arrived in Delphi today. Grandchildren are Virginia and William Clayton, the latter a student at Columbia university; Judson Taylor, of Indianapolis; Stanley Patterson and Judson M. Voak, of Wahpeton. Dr. Shultz was a member of Carroll County Medical society. Funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 from the family residence, Rev. Wilbur Day, of the Methodist church, officiating. Burial will be in Masonic cemetery. Diagnosed Tularemia Dr. Shultz, though old in years, was young in ideas. He studied the new methods in his profession and only three weeks ago diagnose a rare and unusual disease, which, had baffled physicians younger than he. Dr. Shultz was the first in the county to diagnose tularemia when it became prevalent a number of years ago. He was an authority of botanical subjects, and was an entertaining conversationalist on any scientific subject. He was a boy with the boys. He was a basketball enthusiast who followed the team wherever it went. A few weeks ago he secured from the county clerk his fishing, license. Last week in company with younger men he sought mush- rooms. He was preparing to go on a Canadian fishing trip when a heart specialist told him a few days ago, that such a trip should be abandoned. He gave up the trip reluctantly. Saturday he was stricken. His illness was short as he would have wanted it to be. A long, gully rounded-out life was that of the "family physician" of scores of Delphi families, of the "country doctor" who served faithfully and well.
