Private, U.S. Army, Civil War
Company B, 28th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment

Albert Joseph Schultz joined Company F of the 28th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment on August 26, 1862. This regiment distinguished itself in the battle of Antietam as the first unit to ford the creek above the bridge. The battle was fought while he was still in training at Camp Dennison near Cincinnati, Ohio, so he did not participate in it.

He was wounded in the leg during the Battle of Piedmont at Augusta County, Virginia on June 5, 1864. After being hospitalized, he was transferred to Company B (veterans company) of the same regiment. He was mustered out with the regiment on July 6, 1865 at Wheeling, West Virginia.

After the war, Albert resumed his civilian occupation as a tailor in Cincinnati. He married three times, fathered thirteen children and was affectionately known as "Soldier Grandpa" by his many grandchildren. He passed away at the family home at 1815 Bremen (now Republic) Street in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati.
