Otto Carl Johann and Cora L. (Meyers) Schulte (a/k/a: Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schulte) are my half 1st cousin, 1x removed.

Not so sure of Math Holtzman, but the Schulte’s farm was on the Town Colby/Green Grove line in Town Colby, about a mile south of St. Paul’s (North Green Grove) Lutheran Church. Not sure of the smaller cheese factories in that area but home of Colby Cheese is a bit further to the south. Possibly he was their processor of milk shipments?
