George Schultz

My Story

George Schultz served as Commander of Otis Sampson American Legion Post 59 in 1923, during the organization's earliest years. As one of the Post's first leaders, he helped guide the young organization as veterans of the First World War built what would become one of Stoughton's enduring civic institutions. His life was cut tragically short when he died on July 3, 1924, at the age of 33. Although few details of his life have survived, his service as one of the Post's earliest commanders remains an important part of the history and legacy of American Legion Post 59.
