Schultz
Charles (Schultz or William as the family thought) was said to have been born June 22, 1845 in New York (according to the 1870 McKinney census) but family information said he was born enroute from Germany. He died of a heart attack at the age of 29, February 2, 1874 while cutting wood in McKinney or surrounding area. He married Mariah Evelaine Lisenby (Lisenbee, Lisenbie, etc.) who was born October 28, 1845 (or perhaps 1847) in Arkansas. She died January 23, 1896 of cancer in Wise County, Texas. Some time after Charles died, Mariah Eveline married a William Brose and moved to Wise County.
Two sons were born to Charles and Mariah Eveline September 12 1874:
1. Bernard Andrew who died September 24, 1965 in Dallas, Texas.
2. William Brisco, who died at age 18 mos.
The boys were named after two doctors who delivered them; names Andrew and Brisco. After Bernard Andrew's mother died, he continued to live with his stepfather, William Brose in Wise County. He always said that his stepfather was very good to him, but one day William Brose left home and never returned. We do not know when this was or how old Bernard Andrew was at the time. It is said that William Brose served in the Civil War as did Charles Schultz (although he must have been very young) but we do not know on which side for sure that either one of them served.
As a young man, Bernard Andrew came to Dallas to earn his fortune. He drove one of the first mule drawn streetcars (among other ventures) and married Bertha Emma Hinkle of Dallas. Three girls and one boy were born to them. The boy died at an early age. The girls were Violet Vera, Bertha Marie and Vivien Louise.
