F, b. 1845, d. 1917
  • Marie Louise Wilhelmine (Minnie) Gladigau was born in 1845. She was the daughter of Erdmann Gladrigau and Dorothea.

  • Marie Louise Wilhelmine (Minnie) Gladigau and Carl (Herman) Schultz immigrated in 1872. Carl and Minnie were able to pay their own passage to Australia.
  • In October 1875,her husband, Carl (Herman) Schultz died. He died from accidental strychnine poisoning when he mistook a packet of strychnine for Glauber's salts which he intended to use as a relief for a distended stomach. Minnie continued on the farm with the children.
  • The following article appeared in the The Queenslander on 6 November 1875. " A CASE of accidental poisoning occurred, last Saturday, at Gowrie Junction. Oppressed by the heat of the day, a German settler, named Hermann Shultz, retired to his bed, having previously partaken of a hearty dinner. He subsequently drank a quantity of vinegar and water mixed with baking soda, and, to relieve the pain he afterwards experienced, he took a dose from a packet which he believed to contain Glauber salts. The packet from which the dose was obtained was found in a hat left by a countryman in Shultz's possession, and it contained poison —strychnine— for poisoning native dogs. Three grains of the powder given to a dog on Sunday at Toowoomba, terminated the animal's existence in twenty minutes. The quantity taken by deceased in mistake for salts was sufficient to poison fourteen or sixteen persons. At the enquiry, held on Saturday, before the Police Magistrate, Minna Shultz, wife of the deceased, deposed: We have been at Gowrie Junction for six months; yesterday deceased went to work as usual; he came home at dinner time, and partook of a good dinner ; the weather being hot he went to lie down; about three o'clock he was seized with a fit; he said he had a cramp in his stomach; he had three severe fits, and two that were not so bad; he died about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon; he has not been well for some time past; he was in the thirty-seventh year of his age ; we have been three years in the country; and have three children. Caspar Ulrich deposed: I have been shepherding on Weranga station; I arrived at Toowoomba about fourteen days since; I met deceased but Wednesday week at Wockner's hotel; I went with him to Benjamin's store to buy material for a pair of trousers; deceased was a tailor, and was going to make trousers for me; I bought a hat as well; my old hat was rolled up in the parcel with the cloth, and taken away by deceased; when he brought me the trousers I asked him for the old hat; he said, "It was thrown away at Benjamin's;" there was poison in the lining of the hat; I hid it for poisoning native dogs at the Weranga station; I forgot that the poison was in the lining of my old hat; I kept it in my hat because I had previously kept it in my pocket, and had tasted it when chewing my tobacco; I did not afterwards carry it with my tobacco in my pocket; the packet in my hat contained strychnine; I had a couple of glasses of grog, and never thought of the poison after buying the cloth; the poison was given to me by Mr. Sele, the manager of the station. Minna Shultz, recalled, said: After dinner deceased drank a lot of vinegar and water and baking-soda; he took also a portion of a powder I have given to Dr. Roberta; it was the first time he had taken any of that powder; I found the powder in an old hat belonging to a shepherd; a man at Wockner's public-house gave the hat to deceased.— D. D. Gazette."
