The following is taken from a photocopy from the book "Genealogical
and Biographical Record of Cook County, Illinois. Lake City Publishing
Company, Chicago, Illinois, 1894", pp.592, 593: (See the Notes of
Explanation)
"JOSEPH SCHNEIDER, who follows farming on section 31, New Trier
Township, Cook County, is one of the worthy citizens that Prussia has
furnished this country. He was born March 13, 1841, and is a son of
Anton and Gertrude (Huerter) Schneider, who were natives of the same
locality, the former born in March 1799, and the latter in the same
year. In 1846 they crossed the Atlantic, and after a stormy voyage
reached the New World. Making their way to Chicago, Anton Schneider
purchased one hundred and thirty-three acres of land on section 31,
New Trier Township, buying the farm, its crops and stock for $900.
There Mr. Schneider carried on farming during the greater part of his
life, although by trade he was a blacksmith. His death occurred in
1875. In the family were eight children, three sons and five
daughters, of whom two sons and four daughters are yet liveing,
namely: Martin, a retired farmer, of Detroit, Michigan; Katrina, widow
of Anton Carpenter, of Chicago; Anna Maria, wife of William Fackelde,
a carpenter of Muscatine, Iowa; Dorothea, widow of Paul Huerter, of
Gross Point; Joseph, of this sketch; amd Anna, wife of Max Hahn, a
shoemaker of Evanston.
"Joseph Schneider acquired his education in the public schools, and
has become well informed on all questions of the day. He was only five
years of age when he became a resident of Cook County, and since that
time he has lived in this community. He now owns and operates
fifty-five acres of the old homestead, which he has placed under a
high state of cultivation. This is less than one-half of the farm
which his father purchased for $900.00, but his tract, at a low
estimate, is valued at $10,000. Upon it he has erected a two-story
brick residence, a good barn and other outbuildings, which are models
of convenience and which attest the enterprising spirit of the owner.
"On the 4th of February, 1864, Mr. Schneider was united in marriage
with Kathrina Keil, who was born in Prussia, March 20, 1845, and is a
daughter of Mathias Keil, who was born in the same country, and came
with his family to America in 1846. In 1862 he took up his residence
in New Trier Township. Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Schneider, of whom eight sons and two daughters are yet living,
namely: Anton, who was born January 14, 1865, and is a farmer of this
community; Margaretha, who was born November 28, 1866, and is the wife
of Joseph Schaefgen, a carpenter, of Gross Point; Maria, born February
12, 1869; Mathias March 28, 1871; Peter, May 17, 1873; Joseph A.,
September 1, 1875, John G., January 3, 1878; Wilhelm J., June 27,
1882; Frank, January 30, 1885; and Adam, January 11, 1889.
"The parent's and their children are all members of St. Joseph's
Catholic Church of Gross Point. Mr. Schneider has been a Democrat
since casting his first Presidential vote for Stephen A. Douglas, but
has never sought political preferment. He belongs to the Catholic
Order of Foresters and to St. Joseph's Library and Sick Benefit
Association. He is a prominent citizen of the community, widely and
favorably known, and the best interests of town and county receive his
hearty support and co-operation."

[BO:Notes of Explanation:BO]
1) A similar biographical record of Joseph Schneider also appears
in the 75th anniversary issue of the Wilmette Life, published on
September 18th, 1947. It is available to you from the Wilmette Library
and/or Historical Society.
2) A copy of this particular biographical record has been passed
down through the relations over the years. It was retyped by Mame
Schneider, wife of William J., back in 1935.
3) The first paragraph indicates that Joseph was the son of Anton
and Gertrude, who were born in 1799. Due to the French invasion of the
Rhineland there is a gap between 1798 and 1812 in the church records.
As a consequence, neither of their birth/baptismal records have been
located. There is however a civil record of their marriage recorded on
6/30/1826, which states that Anton was born on 2/23/1799, and Gertrude
on 10/10/1798.
4) The 133 acres of land referred to in the first paragraph were
actually split between townships. 80 acres were in section #31 of New
Trier Township, while the other 53 acres were in section #9 of Niles
Township (1861 real estate map by S. H. Burns and J. J. Van Vechten,
Chicago Historical).
5. Please note the spelling of the last name for William & Anna
Maria Fackelde, referred to in the first paragraph. The records from
St. Mary's Cemetery in Muscatine, show their name to end with a "y" --
Fackeldy.
6) The two story brick house referred to in the second paragraph
was constructed around 1874 at 3127 Old Glenview Road. Only the front
half of this house is original, as a large addition to the rear was
added at a later date. Ownership of this house passed from Joseph &
Kathrina Schneider, to his son Joseph A. & Anna Schneider, and to
Joseph & Margaret Schoenbeck (the daughter of Joseph A.). The current
owner is not related to the family.
7) The third paragraph makes reference to Joseph and Kathrina as
having twelve children. It further lists the names of ten children
living at that time. The biographical record printed in the Wilmette
Life for the 75th anniversary lists an eleventh child by the name of
Katherina, and indicates that a twelfth child died at birth. A check
of the baptismal records of St. Joseph Church verify that she was born
on April 15th, 1880. Her name also appears in the 1880 federal census,
but no further records have been found.
8) The third paragraph gives the birth date of Adam (Edward A.) as
January 11th, 1889. The baptismal record for him from St. Joseph
Church indicates that he was baptized on January 12th, and born on
January 10th, 1889.
