Charles William Schult ^{2 3 4 5 6}

   Other names for Charles were Charles William Schults ¹ and Charles William Schultz.^{7 8 9}

  General Notes:

Beginning with the 1900 US Census and the 1905 Wisconsin State Census, it appears that he changed the spelling of his surname from Schultz to Schult, effectively dropping the "z" at the end. Some assume it was to avoid confusion with the multiple other Schultz families in the area but there were multiple other Schult families as well.

  Marriage Notes:

The marriage date of 23 DEC 1879 doesn't seem right when Charles was listed on the 1880 census as SINGLE and still living at home with his parents. Their first child was not born until Nov 1881 so a more logical marriage date could be 23 Dec 1880 instead of 1879.
