From 1864 to 1870 Julius Schutze and his family moved to Bastrop where he became the Chief Justice of Bastrop County thus earning the moniker "Judge" that would follow him for the rest of his life even though he never would hold such an office again. Judge Julius and his family returned to Austin in 1870 where he became a publisher of a German newspaper and would live the rest of his life until his death in 1904. Judge Julius had ten children - Albert, Edward, Hugo, Julius, Adolf, Nono, Henrietta, Alvina, Clara, and Julia.
