PICKED OUT BY LINCOLN
Pottsville, Pa., July 24 - John Schultz, a soldier of the civil war, who
topped 6 feet 3 inches when he was young and straight as an arrow, is dead
at his home here. Because of great height, President Lincoln picked him when he
reviewed the Union troops at the close of the war. It was while the troops
were passing that the President, noticing Schultz, a member of Company G, 129th
Infantry, called upon him to stand with him.
