About Hulda Rash Shultz

HULDA RASH was born February 14, 1864 in Iowa, and died about 1931 in Canada. She married (1) JAMES NATHAN SHULTZ Feb. 22, 1880 in Iowa, son of Jesse and Elizabeth Mincer Shultz. He was born April 21, 1861 in Iowa, and died July 29, 1913. She married (2) DICK F. BUCKNELL Aug. 6, 1914 at the Baptist parsonage in Eldora, Ia., Rev. W.E. Stanley officiating.
More About DICK BUCKNELL: Residence: Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. Born about 1864 in Illinois, son of Charles J & Eliza Bucknell.

To clear up questions about the spelling of Shultz and Hulda, attached a photo of grave marker to this profile.

Then, to fog things up again, I point out that she has two grave markers. One with first husband Jim Shultz in Iowa, and one with second husband Dick Bucknell in Canada. Which one is she really buried at? I don't know. But, because the one in Iowa has a birth date but no death date, and the one in Canada has both dates, my guess is Canada. Also because she lived there until she died, so they probably buried her there.

Hardin County Ledger, p 8, Eldora, Iowa, Aug 13 1914, Hulda Rash weds Dick Bucknell:
R.F. Bucknell and Mrs. Hulda Rash Schultz were quietly married the latter part of last week. A little story is current that this is the culmination of a romance begun in girlhood and boyhood and, truth to say, there might be many stranger things when one hears that these two grew up within two miles of each other. At any rate, all their friends are wishing them a pleasant life in the new relation they have assumed. It is understood they will make their home in Union for the present but later may return to Canada, where Mr. Bucknell has prospered.
