A son of soap manufacturers Hans (John) Schuetz and Magdalena Luthi, Gottlieb was born in 1838 in Canton Berne, Switzerland. He married Anna Parli who lived in the same Burgorf District in Canton Berne, Swtizerland in 1863. Having lived in various places in the Burgdorf district between 1863 and 1868, they finally immigrated to Humboldt, Nebraska in 1870. Gottlieb and Anna had ten children, of whom only five survived by the time of Gottlieb's death. Gottlieb might have been a pastor of the German Methodist Church from 1874 and retired some time before his death because of declining mental ability.
Gottlieb's daughter Maria (Mary) Schuetz, born in 1867 in Switzerland took care of him in his last days and started the Dean family line marrying German-born Dirk Sutorius in 1889. Sutorius' daughter Emma, born in 1890 married a recent emigrant from Germany (1908) Edo F. Harms in 1914. All three generations lived in Humboldt, Nebraska in close proximity with various relatives (Emma Sutorius's uncle John Schuetz lived right next door to her family according to the 1930 census).

These four notices tell of Carl Christian Schuetz's death almost two years after he sustained injury in a tornado. A barn collapsed on him, and although he was still alive after his family took him out he was paralyzed and crippled. The whole community sympathized with the family suffering and the funeral was very large, showing that this was an unusual happening in the Humboldt community.

]]>This document comes from the Family of Bill Dean Collection and belongs to the generation of Bill Dean's parents. The school report card from 1925-1926 school year illustrates that the form for school reports has largely remained unchanged for the larger part of the 20th century. The subjects, however, reflect the skills deemed necessary for the school students in that era and include Physiology, Mental Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, and Agriculture. This curriculum would equip a student living in the rural Nebraska (Harms family comes from Humboldt) with the skills necessary to find employment in the local enterprises and agriculture.
