When Anton Schneider and Gertrude Huerter were married it was recorded
at the civil level on June 30, 1826, and with the church on July 4th.
Available are copies of both manuscripts. The civil record is
difficult to read and translate because of the old style of the
handwriting itself, and the fact that it is in Old German script.
The civil record is an important document because it identifies who
the parents of Anton and Gertrude were.
Loosely translated, it does provide the following information:
1) Anton Schneider was born in Kehrig on February 23, 1799. He is
the son of Nickolaus Schneider, a farrier (blacksmith), who died
November 5, 1822, and Anna Catharina Martini, who was still living and
present.
2) Gertrude Huerter was born in Kehrig October 10, 1798. She is
the daughter of Peter Joseph Huerter, a farmer, who died March 14,
1807, and Elizabeth Ackermann, who was still living and present.
3) The witnesses were: a) Johannes Bermal, 52 year old
brother-in-law of the bride; b) Martin Huerter, 32 year old (brother
of the bride; c) Martin Ackermann, 59 year old uncle (brother of the
mother of the bride); d) Anton Porsch, not related to the couple.
4) The two mothers could not sign the document because they were
not capable of writing.
Note: There is a point of interest that among the children of Peter
Joseph Huerter and Elizabeth they had a son Adam, and a daughter by
the name of Gertrude. Adam Huerter married Maria Catharina Diewald
and they had a son named Paul. Gertrude Huerter married Anton
Schneider and had a daughter named Dorothea. Paul Huerter married
Dorothea Schneider having been granted a dispensation by the church
for being second cousins.

Anton and Gertrude came to American in 1846 from Kehrig, Prussia, with
their children. This town lies about 30 kilometers SW of Koblenz.
All of their children were baptized at Saint Castor. They eventually
settled in Gross Point, a village a few miles North of Chicago, IL.
In the late 1920s it was annexed by the town of Wilmette. St. Joseph,
the church that served that community, still stands today (1/30/1994)
and there is a small cemetery across the street where the majority of
the earlier Schneider's are buried.
[4]
The ship on which they booked passage was the "Diadem," under the
command of Edwin W. Barstow. It had originated in Holland, with ports
of call in Prussia and Great Britain (London), before sailing to
America.
After arriving in New York, many immigrants continued their journey by
traveling down the Erie Canal and the Great Lakes to the port of
Milwaukee. There are no passenger lists available for this port to
establish when Anton and his family arrived in Milwaukee. There is
however a brief reference made in a newspaper clipping (circa 1935)
from an unidentified source that states that they "settled in
Milwaukee, but soon came to Wilmette (Gross Point) via ox cart." On
page 466 of the [UL:History of Cook County:UL], published by A.T.
Andreas in 1884, is confirmation that the Schneiders settled there in
1846.
[5]
According to St. Joseph Church records in Wilmette (formerly Gross
Point), IL, Anton died 12/24/1875 and Gertrude died 2/7/1863. Early
cemetery records are not available, nor is there a tombstone that
establishes the location of their burial plot.
