Ex-Alderman Schneider Dies 
John Schneider, 85, resident of the Elm Terrace Home at 610 N. Ninth St., was 
found dead in a bath tub there about 4:30 a.m. Friday.

unconscious.

Sachse, preceded him in death in 1954.

JOACHIM SCHNELL

Joachim Schnell, a well-known and respected resident of Town Liberty, 
accidentally drank from a bottle containing lye a few weeks ago. The 
79-yr. old man must have suffered terrible pain until Thurs. last week 
when death overtook him. The Schnell family, consisting of three brothers, 
settled in Town Liberty in 1849 when it was nothing but a wilderness and 
the wolves and foxes said goodnight to everybody. Through hard work the 
brothers beat back the wilderness and established a homestead and the 
family now belongs among the most eminent in the area. The recently deceased 
Joachim Schnell leaves a widow and 5 children.

LOUIS F. SCHNELL    (d. 1953)

Retired Farmer, Schnell, Is Dead
Louis F. Schnell, 73, retired town of Liberty farmer, died Wednesday afternoon 
at Shady Lane Home, following a brief illness.
He had been residing at the home since disposing of the Schnell homestead farm 
last April.
Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Urbanek and Schlei 
Funeral Home. The Rev. Roland Schwandt will officiate and burial will be in 
Evergreen Cemetery.
Born in 1880 
Schnell was born in Liberty March 18, 1880, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Fritz 
Schnell. His grandfather, Fred Schnell, came to the country from Germany to help 
set up the homestead farm in Liberty 104 years ago. He was one of five Schnell 
brothers who came from Germany, landed in Milwaukee, and moved north to Manitowoc 
County.
When Grandpa Fred (Fritz) Schnell died, the farm was taken over by his son, Fred Jr., 
father of Louis. At the death of the latter, his two sons, Alvin and Louis took 
over and operated the farm. Alvin Schnell died in 1942, leaving his only survivor, 
Louis, to take over the farm, which he operated with hired help.
A tradition of the Schnell farm in recent years has been an annual party given by 
Louis Schnell for his friends and neighbors. A highlight of the event was the 
appearance of the Manitowoc Marine band, which gave a concert on the spacious lawn 
of the Schnell home.
Never Married 
In April, Schnell disposed of the farm to a neighbor Reuben Wehausen, and moved to 
Manitowoc. He retained a few of the family heirlooms and one of these, a Swiss music 
box, acquired in 1890, was turned over to the Rahr Civic Center. This instrument, 
which cost over $200, is the equivalent to today's radio and television sets.
Schnell never married and with the death of his brother Alvin, 11 years ago he 
remained the sole survivor of the Schnell family.
Friends may call at the funeral home after 2 p.m. Friday until the hour of services 
Saturday.

CHRIST. SCHOCH

LOSE A GOOD CITIZEN 
Christ Schoch, one of the Pioneer Business Men of the City Succumbs to Last 
Illness 
CAME HERE IN PIONEER DAYS 
One of the City's Most Prominent Residents Yields to Final Summons of Death-
A Good Man Gone Home.
Death came to the relief of Christ Schoch at a late hour Tuesday night, 
releasing him from an illness of two months duration in which time his life 
had frequently been despaired of. An affection? of the heart from which he 
had suffered for a long period caused his demise, which, while not unexpected, 
was sudden and a terrible shock to the family and friends. Shortly after 
retiring for the night, Mr. Schoch complained of severe illness and before 
physician could be summoned he had passed beyond the aid of mortal man, death 
being calm and peaceful and coming to him as he rested in his chair.
Few men possessed a ______ acquaintance or were held in higher esteem by the 
public than was Christ Schoch, who in fifty years of residence here had enjoyed 
the confidence and esteem of the community and attained a reputation that will 
make his death a matter of general regret to the public and a source of deep 
sorrow to those friends who knew him best. Born at Baden Baden, Germany, 
November 11, 1842, Mr. Schoch was at the time of his death 61 years of age. 
When a child of ten years his parents emigrated to America, locating in this 
county where the boy received his early education and on April 18, 1874 was 
married to Miss Anna Maria Gerl, the wife who, with three children, survive 
to mourn his loss. For twenty-nine years Mr. Schoch had been engaged in the 
lumber business, conducting the yard on Main street. He was originally 
associated with the firm of Pankratz & Co., of which he was the last living 
member and in 1898, at the death of his former partners, continued the business 
himself. As a result of industry and honest dealing Mr. Schoch has amassed a 
comfortable competence.
In the death of Christ Schoch Manitowoc loses one of its pioneer business men 
who had ever been identified with the interests which tended to the development 
and advantage of the city. In business and social circles he had always been 
prominent and while of a quiet, retiring disposition, more of a lover of his 
home and family than of the pleasures afforded by society, he was never neglect-
ful of the duty which owed to the public and community. Throughout the county 
his acquaintance was extensive and the announcement of his death will call 
forth many expressions of sorrow. Possessing a kindly and genial nature, just 
and imbued with a high integrity of character, he was ever considered a valued 
friend and many who have been the beneficiaries of his hand will long cherish 
his memory.
To the bereaved family the sympathy of the community will be extended. Besides 
the wife, the surviving family consists of three children, two daughters, Emma 
and Ida, and one son, Frederick. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon from 
the late home on Eleventh street.

Death Tues. evening of Christ. Schoch after a long siege with a combination 
of illnesses which had confined him to his bed for months. The deceased was 
born 11 Nov. 1842 in Baden-Baden and came to America and to Manitowoc County 
as a child. For about 30 yrs. he was active in the lumber business and formerly 
was a member of the firm Pankratz & Co. In 1874 he married Anna Marie Gerl, his 
now surviving widow. Mr. Schoch was a respected business man and was well thought 
of by his fellow citizens in every way. In addition to his widow he is survived 
by 3 children. His funeral will be held tomorrow after from the funeral home on

Former Pupil Dies
Roland Schoenebeck, a former Vocational School student, passed away at the 
Holy family Hospital where he had been removed to undergo an operation for 
appenditis, Sunday, Nov. 19. He was a member of Co. E. 127th Infantry, and 
a full military funeral was accorded him. Permission had been granted by the 
adjutant general at Madison to use the caisson from the battery of Cap. 
Schuelke at Kohler.
Roland became a student at Vocational School when about fourteen years of age. 
During the entire time of his attendance he was in Mr. Watson's Department, 
Pattern-Making. A noteworthy coincidence is the fact that two of Roland's 
fellow students in the department, Harold Green and Silas Pierce, both also 
fellow members of Co. E, were at the hospital at the same time, for the same 
purpose. They are at home now recuperating from the effects of the operation.

his mother, Mrs. Caroline Schomberg, of Manitowoc, one brother, Henry of Centerville, 
two sisters, Mrs. Paul Laesch and Mrs. Wm. Lasch of Manitowoc.
