Site of Schultz Blacksmith Shop

Carl Severin Schultz was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1876. After marrying Nelsona Vestermann (b. 1871), he came to the United States and settled professions, including ownership of a soft drink factory. He later became the village blacksmith and operated his shop on this site, which he had purchased in 1900. Known throughout the town and the county for his fine craftsmanship, Schultz represents the type of settler and business leader who lived in Granbury at the turn of the century.
