Elizabeth G. Shults, Chenango Union, January 2, 1896: The Pasadena correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, of December 16, writes of Mrs. Elizabeth G. Shults, wife of Prof. James H. Shults, who was Superintendent of Schools in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] before Prof. Griffith came here:
"The illness of Mrs. Elizabeth G. Shults, wife of Dr. James H. Shults, professor of physics in the State Normal School, ended in death early this morning at the family residence, No. 103 Orange Grove avenue. Mrs. Shults was a woman of exceptionally bright intellect and of unusual literary culture. She was graduated from the Rochester (N.Y.) Free Academy at the age of 13 years, having then read in Latin the "Eclogues" and "Aeneid" of Virgil. She subsequently took a four years classical course in Syracuse (N.Y.) University. Dr. Shults was a member of the same class, and he and she were married at her home in Rochester the day after their graduation. Mrs. Shults taught for a time in the Rochester Collegiate institute, and afterward filled the chair of classics in one of the New York State normal schools. But she preferred the life of the home, and refused several other flattering offers of positions in schools. The loss of a daughter while residing in Cleveland so saddened her life that her health from that time on was gradually impaired. With her husband she came to Pasadena from Syracuse, N.Y., in 1888. She was the second president of the Shakespearean society of this city, and was a member of the First congregational church, but failing health compelled her to almost wholly abandon all work outside her own home. In it she was, to the end, a devoted, self sacrificing Christian wife and mother, and she leaves three children, two sons, aged 17 and 19 respectively, and a daughter, aged 9, as well as numerous friends. Dr. Charles A. Davis, of this city, and Mrs. Requa, of Los Angeles are cousins of the deceased. Mrs. William Emerson, a sister, who recently came here on account of Mr.'s Shults' illness, returned to her home in New York a week ago, not expecting the sad end would come so soon. The funeral, which will be private, will be held tomorrow, Rev. D.D. Hill, of the East Los Angeles Congregational church and former pastor of the church here officiating."
