10. Evelyn³ Marie Affeld (Julia Gertrude² Tischbein, Joannes Albert¹) was born 3/21/1899. Evelyn died 7/2/1969 in Detroit, MI, at 70 years of age. Was visiting friends in Carmel Hall, a type of nursing home owned by the Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit, (formerly the Detroiter Hotel). Her husband was in the Chapel having his devotions when she passed away. She said to him that morning that she felt a strange peace (told to me, John Schneider, in the days after her death).

Evelyn's name is listed in a variety of ways. Her 1899 birth record shows her name being Evylina M. Affeld. Her 1920 marriage record has it as Evelyn Mary Ann Affeld. The draft cards of her husband Louis James Schneider and of her son Louis John Schneider has her name simply as Evelyn Schneider.

She married Louis James Schneider in Detroit, MI. Louis was born in Detroit, MI 9/8/1897. He was the son of Peter Schneider and Clara Hackett. Louis died 2/24/1978 in Farmington Hills, MI, at 80 years of age. He died of cancer, spending many of the last months of his life residing with his daughter Eve Ann's family in Farmington, MI. His last month or so was spent in a Farmington nursing home. Louis and Evelyn are buried in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery (25800 W 10 Mile Rd, at the intersection of West 10 Mile Rd. and Beech Rd.), Detroit, section 10, lot #196, Louis: grave 1, Evelyn: grave 2. Thier grave markers and grave sites can be seen here.

Louis was elected in Detroit, MI, Nov 1932. Was elected to the Michigan State House of Representatives for 2 terms, in 1932, and again in November, 1936.

From Biographical Sketches, Michigan Legislative Manual:

"Of Detroit, representative from the first district of Wayne County, was born in Detroit, September 9, 1898 (sic). His education was acquired in Central High School, Detroit, University of Detroit, Warner's Pharmacy School, and Detroit College of Law. He has always taken a keen interest in public affairs and for ten years has been a student of political science, economics and social welfare. For two years he was associated with a reputable law firm but for the past five years has engaged in private practice. Before taking up the study of law, Mr. Schneider was a drug salesman, a bookkeeper and a collector. He is married and has three children. He was elected to the legislature on the Democratic ticket in 1932, and re-elected November 6, 1934."

Louis was elected in Detroit, MI, 1936. According to his son Lou, a Circuit Court Commissioner had a standing a little lower than a Circuit Court Judge. Judge Schneider didn't desire to handle cases involving divorce, which is why he didn't attain to the higher level of the bench, as he was a very devout Roman Catholic. Circuit Court Commissioners handled, among other cases, matters of property and tenant cases. His Bailiff was his wife's brother, Elmer "Bud" Affeld.

Louis James owned a home at 1923 Glynn Court, Detroit, MI, where he raised his family. After retirement, he and his wife moved to a house on Longacre, in Detroit, on the NW corner of Schoolcraft Rd, a few blocks away from where his daughter Eve Ann and her family lived.
