Germany Schulz - Later Life

Later Life

Schulz worked in the insurance business, including as a state agent for an insurance company in Michigan, from 1924 until his death in 1951. After retiring from football in the early 1920s, Schulz led a private life, and little has been written about the last 30 years of his life. At the time of the 1930 United States Census, Schulz was living in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his wife, Emilie V. Schulz (age 35), his mother-in-law, Emilie V. Sabovian (age 82), and his sister-in-law, Louise Sabovian. His occupation was listed in the 1930 Census as an insurance salesman.

Schulz died in 1951, less than two weeks after being selected as the center on the All-Time All-American Team. Schulz had undergone an operation for a "malignant ulcer of the stomach" in February 1951 and suffered a relapse in April. He died at Detroit's Henry Ford Hospital at age 67.

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    We’ve only just begun to learn about the water and its secrets, just as we’ve only touched on outer space. We don’t entirely rule out the possibility that there might be some form of life on another planet. Then why not some entirely different form of life in a world we already know is inhabited by millions of living creatures?
    Harry Essex (b. 1910)

    Thou art a toilsome mole, or less,
    A moving mist;
    But life is what none can express,
    A quickness which my God hath kissed.
    Thomas Stanley (1625–1678)
