HUBERT SCHUELTER, a well-known shoemaker, who has efficiently served as marshal in Cassville, Grant county, for the past eight years, and deputy sheriff and constable for twenty-three years, was born in Prussia, Germany, in 1847. He came to the New World in 1854 with his parents, Mathias and Gertrude (FUX) SCHUELTER, also natives of Prussia. Coming directly West, the family located in Potosi, Grant Co., Wis., in October of that year, and there made their home for some time. In 1867, however, the father moved to Harrison township, same county, where he continued to reside until called from this life, in 1879. The mother died in the same township in 1874. To them were born six children, of whom four are still living, namely: Hubert; Mrs. Kate BROCKERT, of Waterloo township, Grant county; Mrs. Margaret GROOMS, of Cassville; Mrs. Barbara DENNEY; and Gertrude and Francis, deceased.
Since the age of seven years Hubert SCHUELTER has been a resident of Grant county, and in Potosi he was educated and learned the shoemaker's trade, which he has followed during his business career. In 1885 he came to Cassville, and has since been identified with its business affairs. At Platteville, Wis., Dec. 31, 1869, Mr. SCHUELTER was united in marriage with Miss Florence CHAPMAN, a native of Harrison township, Grant county, and a daughter of Ammyson and Mary (DRULARD) CHAPMAN, pioneers of this section of the State, who are mentioned more fully in the sketch of A. B. CHAPMAN, elsewhere. Both are now deceased. Mr. and Mrs. SCHUELTER have seven children: Lena, Anna, Henry, Minnie, Wesley, Freddie and Burdean.
During the war of the Rebellion Mr. CHUELTER enlisted at Potosi, in 1864, in the 1st Wisconsin Cavalry, for one year or during the war, and was mustered into the United States service at Madison, Wis., the regiment being assigned to the Western Department of the Army of the Potomac. He took part in many scouting expeditions in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, and as a member of Wilson's cavalry was in many skirmishes with Gen. Forrest's command. Mr. SCHUELTER was personally connected with the capture of Jefferson Davis. He was honorably discharged at Edgeville, Tenn., Aug. 27, 1865, and returned to his home in Potosi. He became one of the charter members of Beetown Post, G.A.R., but is now connected with Joseph Mueller Post, No. 218, of Cassville, which has eighteen members in good standing, and a strong Ladies Relief Corps. Mr. SCHUELTER is quite prominent in Grand Army circles, and is now serving as commander of his post. A stanch supporter of the Republican party, he takes an active interest in political affairs, and never withholds his aid from any enterprise which he believes will prove of public interest.
