George Schneider of Early is Dead
End Come at Woodward Sanitarium Sunday - Stolen Car Recovered.
Early - George Schneider, a well-known citizen of this
community, died on Sunday, March 30, at the Woodward sanitarium where he
has been receiving treatments for a long lingering illness. The body was
brought to Early where the funeral was held on Thursday forenoon from
the Sacred Heart church and burial was made in the church cemetery by
the side of his parents.
George was born in Rochester, N. Y. December 6, 1860, and at the age of
14 years moved to Iowa with his parents and settled in Clinton county.
Eight years later the family move to Sac county where he continued to
make his home. His father died soon after they came to Sac county and
the mother passed away about 35 years ago and since her death he made
his home continually with his sister, Mrs. Frank Thorpe, until her
death. He continued to reside in his sister's home until August 28,
1929, when his condition necessitated constant nursing care, and he was
taken to Woodward, Iowa, for care and treatments.
He is survived by one brother, Peter Schneider of Early, and two
sisters, Mrs. Mary O'Keefe of Rochester, N. Y. and Mrs. Anna Stock of
Spooner, Wisconsin, and a number of relatives of this community.

Schneider Sells Americans at Early, Iowa
This picture shows a wee bit of Early, Iowa, a town about 430
miles from Chicago, and one of the 400 of its distinguished residents.
Out of this number thirty-five read the Chicago American daily. That is
a mighty good percentage, and George Schneider, our dealer there, is
responsible for bringing these folks in contact with the outside world.
George is pretty well along in years now, and is handicapped with
a physical disablement, but nevertheless, he is always on the job rain
or shine, peddling his papers and thereby acquainting the public with
the latest.
George Schneider is so well liked by his friends, and winning
more daily, that it is probable he will soon increase his order to fifty copies. |
