Well that's interesting!
Described by some as a "genial, powerfully built man, over six feet, red, sandy complexion," Schultz claimed to be a physician who had attended Oberlin College, as well as Victoria University in Cobourg, and to have graduated from Queen’s Uni­ver­sity in Kingston. However, there is no evidence of his having received a medical degree or having been licensed by Victoria University. Lady Aberdeen, wife of the Governor General at the time of his death, recorded during a visit to Winnipeg in 1895 that Schultz and his wife had been "intensely unpopular." Thus, on reading the complimentary description on Schultz’s tombstone, she remarked, "What a pity we knew him."
