EMANUEL SHULTZ, manufacturer and an ex-congressman from Ohio, was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania., on July 25, 1819, a son of George and Mary (Vinyard) Shultz. His paternal grandfather, Frederick Shultz, was a native of Hesse-Cassel, in the Prussian duchy of Nassau, and came to America prior to the Revolutionary War. He became a soldier in the American army during that great struggle for independence and served his adopted country well. 

Emanuel Shultz attended the common schools until he was eleven years old but, when his father died, he depended on private study and self-teaching. He learned the shoemaker's trade through a seven-year apprenticeship in Philadelphia. In 1838 he moved to Ohio, locating in Miamisburg, where he established himself in the boot and shoe business, employing from five to fifteen journeymen. 

He continued until 1846, when he changed his occupation to the general commission and mercantile trade. Soon he was one of the largest and most successful operators in the Miami Valley, and took a leading part in the establishment, organization, and development of all the prominent enterprises of Miamisburg. From 1853 to 1870 Shultz dealt in leaf tobacco and did much to encourage the growth of what was an important staple product for the state of Ohio at that time. (The Miami Valley was one of the noted tobacco-growing regions of the state, comprising about 7,500 square miles, and the average yield of its best soils reached as high as 1,800 pounds per acre.)

Shultz helped to establish the private bank of H. Groby & Co. in 1865, and he maintained an interest until 1888. Shultz was the principal projector of the Miami Valley Paper company, which he organized in 1871 with Dr. William H. Manning. He continued with this latter enterprise until 1889. In 1881 Shultz was one of the organizers of the Lima Locomotive Works, was a stockholder, and served as vice-president until he sold his interest.

Mr. Shultz married Sarah Beck, daughter of Conrad and Mary (Anspaugh) Beck, of Miamisburg on July 23, 1840, and they had three children: Mary A. (Mrs. Dr. William H. Manning), Amanda M. (Mrs. A. T. Whittich), and Sarah Aletta (Mrs. H. C. Schuberth). 

In religion Schultz was Lutheran, and fraternally belonged to the Masons, Odd Fellows, and Knights of Pythias. He was a Royal Arch Mason and a Knight Templar, and a charter member of Marion Lodge #18, I. O. O. F., of Miamisburg, which was organized in 1843. Shultz was made a Master Mason on October 3, 1844. He was Minerva Lodge treasurer from 1876 to 1881. 

Before the organization of the Republican Party in 1852, Mr. Shultz was a Whig and held every office in Miami township and Miamisburg but one, that of township clerk. Elected commissioner of Montgomery county in 1859, he served three years. In 1873 he was a member of the convention that revised the state constitution, which, upon being submitted to the people, was rejected. In 1875 he was elected to the state legislature but was not a candidate for re-election. In October 1880, he was elected to the United States Congress from the Fourth district, a position he filled with credit to himself and to the satisfaction to his constituents from 1881 to 1883. 

Legislation of the 47th Congress included: 

• An act granting the franking privilege (ability to send mail without postage) to Lucretia R. Garfield (widow of the late president).

• An act to permit Ward Hunt, an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to retire.

• An act authorizing and directing the Architect of the Capitol to make certain changes and repairs in the House wing of the Capitol

• An act in reference to the Trustees of the Lincoln Monument Association

• An act to amend section fifty-three hundred and fifty-two of the Revised Statutes of the United States, in reference to bigamy, and for other purposes

• Several acts in 1882 to authorize the Secretary of War to furnish condemned cannon and cannon balls for the soldiers' cemeteries at Gallipolis, Milan, Mansfield, Portsmouth, and Hamilton

• An act to amend an act entitled "An act to incorporate the Masonic Mutual Relief Association of the District of Columbia”

• An act directing the Secretary of War to pay over to the Society of the Army of the Cumberland seven thousand five hundred dollars, to aid in the erection of a statue or monument to General James A. Garfield.

In 1889 Shultz was appointed by President Benjamin Harrison to be postmaster of Miamisburg, and filled the office in a most capable manner for four years and five months, retiring on the appointment of his successor in 1894.

Mr. Shultz was known as a gentleman of sound and shrewd business judgment, a genial disposition, and the ability to win friends. He could read at a glance the character and disposition of those with whom he came in contact. A ready conversationalist, he was thoroughly at home in any discussion. He fully enjoyed the fruits of his own industry, which he has accumulated through half a century’s exercise of good business tact and a comprehensive survey of the tendencies of commercial movements and the necessities of his fellow men. 

Brother Emanuel Shultz died on November 6, 1912 and is buried in Hillgrove Cemetery.
