Peter Schütz was born in Thalfröschen on November 29, 1821. He was baptized on November 30th. Peter was the second son of Johann Peter Schütz and Maria Leichel. His father was a horsesmith and mentored his son in the family craft. He became a blacksmith, along with his older brother Carl. In 1836, Peter?s mother died when he was only fourteen. On June 4, 1844, Peter was united in marriage to Louise Burkhard in the Protestant church of Thaleischweiler. This union was blessed with six children; a seventh, Adam, died in infancy. Peter?s father died at the age of seventy in 1855 and was buried in Thalfröschen.

After their son Daniel was born, Peter and Louise decided to have another son to receive a bonus from the government. This bonus was military exemption. When their last child turned out to be a girl, they held their situation for a few more years until 1867, when the Austro-Prussian War was on the horizon. They were basically draft-dodgers but their intentions were good; Peter and Louise were very peaceful Germans that did not approve of war and definitely did not want their precious sons drafted. On May 11, 1867, they departed from the port of Le Havre on the steamer ship Tampico. After a relatively short journey, they arrived at Castle Garden in New York on May 29th.

From New York, they traveled a long journey to southern Illinois, around 1868 they came by wagon train through Mascoutah to Johannisburg, where they decided to settle. They went first to Plum Hill, then to Venedy. From there, they scattered around New Memphis, Okawville, and Venedy. It is said that when the Schuetz wagon train passed the school in Venedy that all the children came out to watch it go by.

Peter and Louise lived in Venedy in the 1870?s and Peter worked as a laborer. He believed in giving his children an education and sent them to school. Peter made quite a name for himself and his family and they became very prominent in Washington County.

The winter of 1879 was a bitterly cold one and Peter developed pneumonia on January 9th. He died five days later on the 14th from a severe fever at the age of fifty-seven. The funeral was held the next day at the family home and he was buried in the cemetery at St. John?s United Church of Christ of Johannisburg on the 16th.

Peter married Luise Katharina Burkhard on 4 Jun 1844 in Thalfröschen, Pfalz, Bayern. Luise (daughter of Friedrich Joseph Burkhard and Philippina Luise Keller) was born on 12 Mar 1825 in Thalfröschen, Pfalz, Bayern; died on 20 May 1904 in Venedy Township, Washington County, Illinois, USA.
