  BIOGRAPHY Dorothea Magdelena Catherina Korte, known as Dora, was the eldest daughter of Christopher and Mary Korte, born in 1875 at Upper Moutere. Dora attended Beaconsfield School in the Manawatu, and in 1887 completed Standard 3. She married Otto Heinrich Julius Schulz in 1896 at Awatuna in Taranaki. The surname Schultz was used after the marriage. Otto was born in what is now known as Letowo, Poland, previously part of Prussia, the eldest child of Wilhelmine Schulz. When he was 18 Otto emigrated with his mother Wilhelmine and his 3 half sisters to Queensland, Australia. This allowed him to avoid military service which was unpopular. He worked in the sugar cane fields in North Queensland between 1883 and 1887. In 1887 Otto emigrated to New Zealand. Otto settled at Hurleyville, south Taranaki, and owned two farms there. Otto and Dora lived at Hurleyville where they farmed for 27 years and raised ten children. Otto was a director of the Hurleyville Dairy Factory for 17 years and had an on-going association with Hurleyville School, being appointed as a school commissioner for the Hurleyville District in 1907. Otto and Dora retired to Eltham in 1927. Otto died in 1933 and Dora in 1942. Otto was buried alongside his mother Wilhelmina in the family plot in Eltham Cemetery. In his will Otto bequeathed one farm to his son Frederick and the second to his son Albert. The Commissioner of Stamp Duties made a claim for stamp duties on the land transfer and this was contested by the brothers. When the case was heard by Mr Justice Balir in 1934 he found in favour of the brothers. The case then went to the Court of Appeal, which found in favour of the Commissioner of Stamp Duties. The brothers lost the case because they had to take out mortgages, which resulted in the transactions being considered as sales. Albert was required to pay £5291 and Frederick £3914. Dora died in 1942 in Eltham and was burried with Otto in Eltham Cemetery. Death of Mrs. D. M. Schultz The funeral of Mrs. D. M. C. Schultz, relict of Mr. Otto H. J. Schultz, whose death occurred suddenly at the home of Miss Morison, Eltham, took place on Saturday and was well attended. Mrs. Schultz lived for a number of years at Eltham and recently lived at Hurleyville. She returned to Eltham some months ago. There is a grownup family of sons and daughters.

Mclnnes, coroner, Stratford, conducted an inquest at Stratford on Wednesday afternoon into the death of Mrs. Dorothea M. C. Schultz, a widow who died suddenly at Eltham on May 28. Mrs. Schultz had rooms in a house occupied by Mrs. Gudopp and on May 27 appeared to be in her usual health, and retired to bed at her usual time at 9.30 p.m. After hearing evidence given by Mrs. Gudopp, Constable Abbott, Eltham, and Dr. D. Steven, the coroner found in accordance with the medical testimony that death was caused by a cerebral hemorrhage. Source: Taranaki Daily News, 5 June 1942, Page 6. THANKS NOTICES.
