Other Events:

• Name: Johan C. Scholtz

Notes:

Biography:
He and his family lived in Caracas. He was Consul in La Guaira, Venezuela for Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and others because he was fluent in several languages. Today, La Guaira is just a few minute ride down the hill from Caracas, however, before the turn of the century it was a long trip. So, Johan used to live during the week in La Guaira and go home to Caracas when he could.
Johan had a sister named Mimi. This we know from a circa 1860 picture with the caption "Tia Mimi hermana mia querada de Papa LH" and a picture of Carlos with the caption "Para mis queridos tia Mimi, Mamachi + Papachi, de su sobrino Carlos, Julio 16/1894"

Died:
His son Henrique's 1921 passport application stated he was dead about 15 years.

Johan married Louise Morton. Louise (daughter of George Morton and Sara Jane Hodge) was born about 1876 in St. Thomas; died in 1958 in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Louise had moved to Laguira probably with both parents by 1891. She moved her family along with her mother to Trinidad around 1903, possibly when Johan was expelled.
