Jacob Schale Dead
Jacob Schale, one of the most respected German citizens of Major county died suddenly Tuesday morning of heart failure at his home a mile east of Fairview. He had risen to go about the days work as usual but complained of not feeling well and lay down again. In a moment he was dead.
Jacob Schale was born in South Russia in 1870 and came to America with his parents at the age of ten. In 1894 he married Florence Seibel and to their union nine children were born, five sons and four daughters. Shortly after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Schale came to Oklahoma and settled in what is now Major county. In the seventeen years that he lived here he won a place of high regard in the hearts of his neighbors and his death is a distinct loss to the community.
The funeral will be held at the South Mennonite Church, Friday at two p.m.

===========
The community was greatly shocked when the word was sent out early Tuesday morning that Jacob Schale had died at his home one mile east of town. He had been in town just the evening before and seemed to be in the best of health, jolly and in the best of spirits. It was heart failure.
Jacob Schale was born February 23, 1870, in South Russia. His parents came to the United States, June 20, 1880, and settled near Hillsboro, Kansas. There he was married to Florence Seibel, September 2nd, 1894. Right after the wedding they came to Oklahoma, settling on a homestead, six miles northwest of Fairview which he had secured in the opening of the Strip. After living there for 16 years, he sold the old homestead and bought the present home where he died on May 25th, at the age of 44 years, 3 months and 2 days.
He leaves a wife and nine children, consisting of five sons and four daughters, besides five sisters, his stepmother and two half brothers with a great host of friends to mourn his untimely death.
Mr. Schale has always been an active worker in the church of his belief, besides being identified with anything which went to make this country a better place to live, always helped in public improvements and at his death was a member of the township board of Fairview township. He was regarded as a model citizen and his presence will be missed in public life.
The funeral services will be conducted at the South Mennonite church, Friday afternoon by Rev. M.M. Just after which the body will be laid to rest in that cemetery.
Sidenote: My husband's great-grandmother, Rebecca Weaver, bought her house from Albert J. Schale in 1930. I believe (although I haven't looked it up) that he was executor to an estate that contained the house. The house has been in the family ever since and now we are the proud occupants.
