Luis was one of the founders of the first radio station in Venezuela in 1926. The following is from radiodx.com and is copyright of Ragusa Media Group, PO Box 14339, Wellington, New Zealand:
This year marks the 77 years of the issuing of the first official license to install a radio station in Venezuela; this first license was granted by the Ministry of Public Works and Economy the 25 of September, 1925, to Mr. Arturo Santana and Mr. Luis Scholtz, who founded "Arturo Santana, Scholtz & Company" with the purpose of operating the "Empresa Venezolana de Radiotelefonía"; it was Mr. Alfredo Muller who had the honor of being the first official announcer of this station, thus becoming the first ever radio announcer in Venezuela. This license not only gave them the exclusive rights to broadcast, but also the exclusive rights for the commercialization of the receivers. Friday, April 2, 1926, arrived at the port of La Guaira from New York the equipment for the first Venezuelan radio station.
This first station was called AYRE Broadcasting, their studios were located in a building in the corner of El Tejar, and the antenna and the transmitter in a lot nearby the bullring the "Nuevo Circo", not to far from the Bolivar square in Caracas. AYRE began its transmissions the night of May 23, 1926.
The newspaper El Universal, in its edition of May 24, 1926, depicts its inauguration as: "The Station AYRE Central Broadcasting of Caracas, inaugurated last night, was constructed by the powerful American company Western and its reach is of 2,000 miles, it is moved by two electrical motors, its power is of 12 horses. Its height is 65 meters".
Thanks to the technical capacity of Mr. Luis Scholtz, AYRE was as good as any of the best stations of its time; the station consisted of a transmitters made by the Western Electric and towers of 65 meters height to support the antenna. Some historical reviews indicate that its power was 1 Kilowatt, but if what was published by the newspaper El Universal is correct, and its power was 12 horses, then its actual power was + - 9 Kilowatt (12 HP multiplied by the conversion factor that is 746).
Unfortunately this station was in the air a very short time; the dictator of the moment, General Juan Vicente Gomez, did not see Mr. Arturo Santana with very good eyes, Santana was also a colonel in the Venezuelan army and aide-de-camp of his older son, General Jose Vicente Gomez, who was exiled in Switzerland for political reasons; and taking advantage of the serious political turmoil of April 7, 1928, when two military bases in Caracas revolt and a military conspiracy starts up, in which also some university leaders who in the end would finish jailed participated, Gomez, adducing reasons of "state security", ordered the closing of the station, this action marked the end of the first chapter of the broadcasting history in Venezuela. AYRE was born thanks to the political influence of Colonel Santana, and is this same political influence what determine its closing.

Malcolm was Rí Alban or Rex Scotiae both meaning "King of Scotland" from 1005 until his death in 1034. His nickname was "the destroyer". From Wikipedia:
To the Irish annals which recorded his death, Máel Coluim was ard rí Alban, High King of Scotland. In the same way that Brian Bóruma, High King of Ireland, was not the only king in Ireland, Máel Coluim was one of several kings within the geographical boundaries of modern Scotland: his fellow kings included the king of Strathclyde, who ruled much of the south-west, various Norse-Gael kings of the western coasts and the Hebrides and, nearest and most dangerous rivals, the Kings or Mormaers of Moray. To the south, in the kingdom of England, the Earls of Bernicia and Northumbria, whose predecessors as kings of Northumbria had once ruled most of southern Scotland, still controlled large parts of the south-east.
Malcolm fought many battles with Norwegian and British armies.

Malcolm, King of Scots (Alba) from 943-954, ascended to the throne when his brother abdicated to become a monk. He is said to have been killed by men of Morey (a lesser Scotish kingdom) and is buried on Iona, a small island in the Inner Hebrides.

New York Times obituary for J Henrique Scholtz
J Henrique Scholtz, Coffee Importer, 81
J Henrique Scholtz, a founder and former member of Scholtz & Co, coffee importers, died yesterday in his home, 1 Fifth Ave, after a short illness. His age was 81. He was born in Caracas, Venezuela, where he still maintained a residence, and came to the US in 1902.
Formerly a coffee planter and exporter in Venezuela, Mr. Scholtz founded his concern here in 1906. He retired in 1948.
He was a Venezuelan representative at the Pan American Coffee Board here and at the Inter-American Coffee Board in Washington.
Mr Scholtz was a former member of the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange and the New York Cocoa Exchange.
Surviving are his widow, Berta; two sons, J Henry Jr.. and Arthur; three daughters, Miss Gertrude Scholtz, Mrs Norman Smith and Mrs Fredrick Cooper; two sisters in Venezuela, six grandchildren and a great-grandchild.
As a child he went to the docks with his father and got a rowboat. He rowed out the ships coming in and traded with the captains. He was doing so well that one of his sisters decided to invest in his operation. She bought another rowboat and hired someone to row it. Later he started to import Steinway pianos. They became a status symbol in Caracas and he did very well until he saturated the market. At one point he had a plantation (possibly coffee) outside of Caracas. One day the foreman came into town and said that he was having trouble with one of the workers. Henrique told him that he did not want to hear about it and that he, the foreman, was paid to solve the problems himself. The next time the foreman was in town Henrique asked how he solved the problem with the worker. The foreman said he shot the worker. At that point Henrique decided to sell the plantation. He first came to America in 1896 where his brother Carlos and uncle Joseph lived. After marrying in 1900, he and his family went back and forth between New York and Venezuela. Arthur (the only one child born out of Venezuela) was born in Brooklyn but on his birth certificate his parents residence was listed as Caracas. In December of 1908 a new dictator took over the country the people were hopeful things would finally improve. Henrique and his friend Lorenzo Marturet went to the palace where a crowd of people were calling for the new leader to come out and speak. The leader came out on the balcony and said "Let the people be quiet." The leader then returned to his room. Henrique turned to his friend and said that it was time to move out of the country and move to New York. His friend said that he would go only if New York had a good opera. Henrique and his family packed up their things and arrived in New York on 3 May 1909. Marturet and family didn't arrive until 1911. They bought adjoining Brownstones in Brooklyn. Within a year his friend moved back to Venezuela. Back around 1905, Henrique, his brother Carlos and Marturet founded Scholtz & Marturet. By 1915 when Martruet had returned to Venezuela the company became Scholtz & Co. Henrique worked there until he retired in 1948.
In the 1910 census he was listed as a merchant whose general nature of business was commission. He rented the home where he lived with his family, his mother-in-law and his sister Louisa who had just come that year. While in Brooklyn he had all his relatives from Venezuela and Curaçao over at Christmas time. Not all the families were as well off as his so all the children were very happy when everyone of them received a present.

No original Will of Abraham Browne has been discovered, but in the files of the County Court for 1670, is found the following, which, by the concluding certificate, purports to be a copy of it. "The last Will and Testament of Abraham Browne, of Watertowne, dec’d being of good and perfect memory but Weake, as is witnessed by us whose names are here under written. Impr. : after the decease of his wife, he gave and bequeathed onto his two sones, Jonathan and Abraham Browne, his house and lands ; but giving liberty to his wife, that if shee had need shee might sell some parcels of it. Also, he gave and bequeathed onto his two daughters, Sarah Browne and Mary Browne, each of them one ewe sheep, having each of them one before, as was testified. The rest of his goods and estate he gave onto Lydea, his wife, making her his sole executrix to perform this, his Will and Teatament. Witnesses Richard Browne, John Whitney. Entered out of the original on file with the Register, at Cambridge, in the County of Midd., in New England, and is a true coppie, being compared and examined by Tbomas Danforth, Recorder,"
This instrument resembles a synopsis, more than a literal copy of an original Will. It is not improbable that it was a nuncupative Will, and the above a copy of the declaration by the witnesses of its provisions.
