Bronholly Park was a small hilly tract set up in 1924 by Dr. Carl Schultz (1850-1935), a German immigrant who was in-between marriages at the time. Schultz was living in Los Angeles by 1902, when he established the Naturopathic Institute and Sanatorium downtown. “Bronholly” is an obvious portmanteau of “Bronson” (as in Bronson Canyon and Bronson Avenue) and “Hollywood”. Another street on the tract, Carolus Drive, is simply a latinization of its owner’s first name. Little is known about Dr. Schultz’s private life, but I can tell you that he married Englishwoman Ellen Greenwood in 1903 and divorced her fifteen years later on grounds of desertion. In 1926, he wed a much younger German named Marie Von Ende (née Hellwig), who had a daughter. She stuck with him ’til the end.
