The Schultz family provided room and board for employees of the Northwestern Railroad Company; for private log drivers off the Black River; school teachers who taught at the Dells Dam School; and the road gravel pit workers.  Usually there were a group of eight people.  This was income for the family in addition to farming.  In earlier years gravel was hauled for the township roads with horse teams and as progress was made, dump trucks were put into use.  Guy remembered Gordon True, August Hastings and Ed Sullivan as members of a group that boarded at the old boarding house.

The old boarding house stood behind where "Gabby’s" new house now stands.  It was built by the Black river Improvement Company and used by the crews who built the Dells Dam.  The dam was finished in 1910 and went out in the flood of 1911.  Guy’s father, George Schultz, was foreman on the dam and W. L. Murphy was a foreman of the laborers, who were Italians.  These workers could not speak the English language, therefore had an interpreter.  One morning they were all sick, so W. L. Murphy asked, "What happened?"  The interpreter said, "They ate too much ‘Big Eye Chick’".  They had been eating owls.

They kept the horse and mules in a tent outdoors and got the drinking water from a nearby spring.  The spring they used is still running.

Guy’s Grandma Leopold lived in the house when they moved out.  She smoke a corncob pipe and one day the old house burned to the ground.

Grandma Leopold died at the age of 96 years.

The Schroeder-Wren Sawmill was situated at the site of the now Hide-A-Way Tavern.

The Dells Dam Indian Reservation was well known to many of the early settlers.  The Winnebago Indian tribe was quite concerned about educating their youngsters and settle near the school.

Harry Swallow’s granddad, Joe Bearheart, built a teepee near the south side of the Schultz farm and the family lived in it during the winter months while the children attended the Dells Dam School.  During the summer months they moved back to the Indian Reservation.

Andrew Blackhawk built a hoagen in the woods on the north side, east of Gabby Schultz’s house as it now stands.  Harry Swallow built a one room shanty also nar there for his four children and wife Edna, and John Swallow.  The foundation of Harry’s house can still be seen.

Good friends of Guy and Gabby Schultz were John and Jessie Mike; Dan Bearheart; George Garvin; Harold, Wilbur, earl and Clifford Blackdeer, Abel and Frank Green, and Willis and Bennie Winneschek.

Jessie Mike’s mother (Mrs. Kate Mike) received the Gold Star Mother award as her son Dewey was killed in action in World War I.
