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.
