Julius Eugene Wilhelm Schultz was born in Prussia in 1846. His father was Heinrich but his mother's name is not known. He was a young sailor when in 1865 he desserted his ship, the Mary E Ray, in South Australia. In June 1866 he married Charlotte Matte. Charlotte was also born in Prussia and came to South Australia with her family and parents. Father, Carl Wilhelm Matte and mother Caroline Wilhelmine Klettner had arrived in South Australia in 1855. Carl was an undertaker (of Stepney) and cabinet maker. They had property in Summertown which Charlotte and Julius Eugene Wilhem worked. Charlotte was widowed young and continued to operate the property and raise her children.
