On September 26, 2014 Cousin Ken Schneider sent the photograph of the burial monument of Nicholas Schneider and Mary Anna, his grandparents, located at St Alphonsus Cemetery near the southwest corner of the property, at Schaefer and Gould, Dearborn, Michigan. Here is the monument as well as a screen shot from Google to show where the monument is as one is standing on the corner of Schaefer and Gould.
Ken recalls the memory of his grandmother's funeral: "I remember walking from Dalton's funeral home on Warren Ave., a block from the church, in a procession with the casket in a light rain. When we were walking back to the parking lot after the service, we saw Henry Ford's chauffeur driven car pull up in front of the cemetery. Henry carried flowers to the grave site and visited a few minutes. Mary had babysat Henry and sold the Schneider farm to him in 1915, his first land buy to build the Rouge plant in Dearborn."
