 acknowledge how nundi they owe to Leo

JACOB SCHULZ. 



A Tribute. 



Jacob Scliulz is no more! The dean 

 of the Louisville florists, the friend and 

 counselor of the struggling young man 

 just embarking ui)on a business career 

 with little or no means, the honest, up 

 right, conscientious type of German 

 manhood transplanted upon American 

 s(dl for two gener.ations, has passed intc 

 ''the uiuliscovered country, from whose 

 bourn no tr;i\-eler returns.'' 



Verily a n(dde man hath gone fron 

 our midst! 1 can never forget the moral 

 - — ami I might say the financial-- en 

 couragenuMit given me by this friend 

 of the needy ;iMd struggling upon my 

 first visit to L(Uiisville thirty-two years 

 .ago. When the world looked dark and 

 things in general were most discourag 

 ing, it was Jacob Schuiz who came to 

 my rescue by his encouragement, advice 

 and suggestions, jiutting new life, as it 

 were, into me. 



Jac(d) Schuiz has left a host of 

 friends, who will sincerelv mourn his 

 loss. S. S.'Skidelsky.
