Schneider, George Schneider

Source: Newspaper clipping, Monroe County Ohio, March 1916

  Once again the Angel of Death has visited our midst and claimed one of our dear ones. George Schneider was born August 12th, 1857 in Monroe County, Ohio, and departed this life at his home near Antioch March 8th, 1916, after an illness of several weeks, being at the time of his death 58 years, 5 months, and 26 days old.

  At the age of 15 years he united with St. Paul's Evangelical Church of Woodsfield, Ohio, of which he remained a member until his death.

  On September 25th, 1884, he was married to Letetia Jeffers. To this union were born two sons, Everette A., at home and Walter G. who preceded him to the Great Beyond 15 years ago. He leaves to mourn his departure a loving wife, one son, an aged mother, one brother, 4 sisters: Mrs. Theodore Muelbach of Lower Salem, Ohio; Mrs. Henry Hoff of Antioch; Mrs. John McMahon of Shadyside, Ohio; Miss Anna Schneider, and John Schneider of near Woodsfield, beside a host of other relatives and friends who will sadly miss him.

  He was a kind and loving husband and father and ever ready to lend a helping hand to his neighbors and friends.

  Funeral was held Saturday morning. Short services were held at the home by Rev. Gilmore of Antioch. The remains were then taken to Mt. Carrick where services were conducted by Rev. Seybold of Woodsfield. He was then laid to rest in the Mt. Carrick cemetery to await the resurrection morn.

  It is hard to part with loved ones here on earth but we realize there will be no separation in Heaven. Only a few short years and we will all be called to meet him and form an unbroken family around the throne of God.

 .

Call not back the dear departed

Anchored scfe where storme are o'er.

On the border land we left him.

Soon to meet and part no more

When we leave this world of changes

When we leave this world of care,

We shall find our missing loved one

In our Father's mansion fair.

 .

We miss thee from our home dear father

We miss thee from thy place

A shadow o'er our life is cast.

We miss the sunshine of thy fcce

We miss thy kind and willing hand

Thy fond and earnest care

Our home is dark without thee

We miss thee everywhere.

 .

Earth has lost its look of gladness

Heaven seems to us more bright

Since the spirit of our dear one

Took its happy homeward flight

And we long to cross that river

Long to rest upon that shore

There to see and know and love him

With the Savior, evermore.

                                          A Niece, K. C. S.

                            CARD OF THANKS

    Dr. John Jacob Sulsberger, aged 44 years, died at his home on Eastern Avenue Tuesday morning, September 26, 1916, at 9:30 o’clock after a serious illness of a little over two weeks. He had been in rather indifferent health for the past year or more, yet no serious alarm was felt until quite recently, when spasmodic neuritis in a form baffling all medical skill attacked his weakened constitution.  He was born at Woodsfield, Ohio on May 28, 1872, as the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sulsberger. He received early religious training in his home and at the age of 14 on April 18, 1886, he was admitted into membership with St. Paul’s Evangelical Church by the rite of confirmation.
    In early manhood he taught public school for a number of years, but latter entered the Dental College of Northwestern University of Chicago, from which he graduated in 1898.
    On December 29, 1901, he was united in marriage with
Miss Louise Diehl, with whom he established and maintained a Christian home. To this home came two children, Diehl and Harry.
    Not only as a successful dentist but in Church and Sunday school work, in politics and education, he was well known throughout the County. He was at the time of his death president of the Woodsfield Board of Education and Tuesday afternoon the schools were dismissed for the day out of respect to him.
    He leaves a wife and two sons, father and mother and several brothers.
    The funeral services were conducted at the home on Eastern Avenue Thursday, September 28, 1916, by the Reverend E. Seybold, pastor of the Evangelical Church, assisted by the Reverend R. L. Ryall, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and the Independent Order of Oddfellows. The male quartet composed of Mr. L. G. Ditzler, Mr. T. E. Drum, Mr. Delno Webb and Dr. Ewing Thornberry, rendered two very beautiful and appropriate selections.
    The procession, the largest in the history of our town, passed between two rows of school children who assembled on Easter Avenue, scattering flowers as a tribute to one who had proven his friendship for them in life.
    Interment in Oaklawn cemetery, Woodsfield.
