Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 2nd ed., 1885, Butler Co. CYRUS C. SHULTZ, Butler County, is a native of Ohio County, Ky., born March 16, 1854. He is a son of Matthew Shultz, who was also a native of Ohio County, born May 8, 1824, and who married Sallie Brown, of Ohio County, in 1844. She died early after marriage, and in the year ----- occurred his second marriage, which was with Eliza Williams, of Ohio County. Matthew Shultz departed this life in 1874, on the fiftieth anniversary of his birth. He followed farming from his youth; was successful in life, and accumulated a fine property. Joseph Shultz, the grandfather of Cyrus C., was of German descent, and by birth a Kentuckian. Cyrus C. is the youngest of a family of four daughters and one son, and upon him devolved, to a certain extent, the overseeing of affairs on the farm. His early education was consequently confined to the common schools, which he was able to attend during the winter for some years, and thus laid the foundation for a fair business education, which he has acquired principally by home reading and close application to business. He is the owner of 300 acres of excellent land lying on the waters of Green River. His farm is well improved and well kept, and is in a high state of cultivation, all of which he owes to his own efforts, and the assistance of his wife, Cynthia E. Drozenden. They were married in 1875, and are acceptable members of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Shultz is a Democrat, and gives some attention to politics in the interests of his friends. He is one of the popular and rising young farmers of Butler County. Shultz Brown Williams Drozenden = Ohio-KY http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/butler/shultz.cc.txt
