Mildred Schopp's grandmother was Aunt
Johnnie. Aunt Johnnie was Phillip's daughter. Also
Mildreds husband's (who has passed away) grandfather, Phillip
Schopp, came over from Germany with Phillip Schwartz and
Christopher Everhart.
Mildred is not into geneology at all. Mildred and my dad [Kenneth
Elwood Swartz] were the same age. Mildred's grandmother
"Aunt Johnnie" married a McManama.
Remember, they ran the hotel in Middle Grove.

I know nothing about Phillip before he came
to America. The date 1840 -- well I had heard that he came
over in 1844, but that could not be correct as he had children
before that. I noticed this from grave stones. As for the
other information about being a stowaway, that came from my
grandpa [Ray Swartz] and Mildred Schopp knew the same
information. Grandpa had all the information about his
dad's brothers and sisters wrote down, so Mildred ask Norma Jean
about it and NJ gave her the information.

Phillip Schwartz
settled in Middle Grove, Mo, after stowing away on a ship headed
to the USA from Germany. Along with him was his brother
John Schwartz, Phillip Schopp and Christopher Everhart.
While hiding on the ship they were discovered and had to peel
potatoes for their fare. After landing on USA ground they
walked to Middle Grove. This took place during or close to
1840. He met Mary Meyes and settled about 3 miles south
east of Middle Grove on land that is now on Rte Y. His
family after 162 years still has ties with Middle Grove community
and the Christian Church there.

The McManama
Hotel was the home of Hiram and Mildred (known as Aunt
Johnnie) Swartz McManama.
They were the owners, operating the home as a
hotel, accomodating various people of all occupations:
traveling salesmen, doctors, dentists, artists and anyone coming
along looking for a place to spend the night and have a good
meal. The large oak table, reaching from one end of the
large room to the other, was spread with the best food in the
country.
Their younger son, Phillip, his wife, Lil, and
their daughter, Martha, lived in the house long after the hotel
no longer served the public. They owned a grocery store
next door, where they supplied the neighboring community with
groceries and other supplies such as hardware. He also had
a barber chair in the building. You could get your weeks
supply of groceries and get your hair cut all in the same
afternoon.
It was a gathering place for the country folks
to get caught up on the happenings of the community at that
time. Everyone seemed to be related and one big Happy
Family.
