Fourth Generation

29. Peter4 Schneider (Martin3, Anton2, Nickolaus1) was born in Detroit, MI 6/12/1863. Peter died 8/4/1928 in Detroit, MI, at 63 years of age. His death certificate states he was 63 years 1 month and 22 days of age, and that he was born 12 Jun 1865. The records of the Martin Schneider family from Holy Redeemer Church in Detroit has Peter's date of birth written as 1863.

He married Clara M. Hackett whose parents were Bridget Meagher, 1797-1876 and Michael Hackett, d. 1875? Clara died 17 Mar 1932, (see her death cert.). Peter was a machinist, Clara bought and sold homes, and rented out apartments.

Edit by John Schneider: from information my Dad gave me on or about July 20, 2001:
Bridget Meagher, 1797-1876, married Michael Hackett. Both born in Ireland. Had the following children; John, Michael, Mary, Margaret, Patrick, Charles. Patrick Hackett married Dora Egan and they had the following offspring: Maire (Markey), Dora (Minahan), Wiliam, Gertrude (McNamara), Robert, Lucy (O'Hearn), Ella (Norton), Daniel, John, Clara (Schneider) my grandmother. I remember her when I was very young. You know the rest- Clara married Peter Schneider and had Viola (Haner), Hilda (Golata) - (Jan's Mother), Harry, Marcus, Clarence and my dad, Louis James. I don't know how much if any of this is news but here you have it. So Bridget would be your great-great-great grandmother. Right?

Schneider is listed as 52 years of age living in his own mortgaged home at 393 Virginia Park, Detroit, with his wife, Clara M Hackett, 49 years of age, with his 3 youngest children, Clarence (23 years of age), Louis (21 years of age), and Marcus (18 years of age), and his father-in-law, Patrick C.
