mail delivery system in Watertown. A
fact in connection with the same is that George
Weber and Frank Schulz, present carriers, have been in the service ever
since the inauguration of the system.

Tragic Death
Watertown
Gazette, 09 17 1915
About 11 o’clock last night Frank L. Schultz
[Schulz], a former city mail carrier, was found
leaning forward impaneled on the picket fence of Mrs. Frederick Wagner, 315
Seventh Street, just one block west of Mr. Schultz’s home, his intestines being
perforated by the pickets. It was with
considerable difficulty that he was taken from the fence. He was immediately taken to his home and a
physician sent for, but before the arrival of the physician Mr. Schultz had
died. He was 52 years of age and is
survived by his wife, four sons and four daughters. At this writing no arrangements have been
made for his funeral. Mr. Schultz was
well thought of in Watertown by a large acquaintance, and his tragic ending is
greatly regretted.
