John J. Schneider [Source: The Spirit of Democracy Issue: Woodsfield, Ohio, Thurs., Nov. 6, 1902]
John Jacob Schneider, one of the oldest residents of this community, died October 30, 1902. He was born at Vorderweidenthal, Rhimphalz, Bavaria, March 1, 1829. When he was four years of age, his parents came to America. His father died very soon after they had made their home here in this new land. In those times, this part of the country was wilderness, and as the father=s support was gone, many hardships were left for the mother with the little children. Hard work was experienced by them all, but it had its rewards. Mr. Schneider was married February 24, 1852, to Miss Eva Christman. Two sons were born to them, who with the widow mourn his death. He was a member of the Lutheran Church of Woodsfield and one of those who helped to organize the congregation.
The funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon by the Reverend T. A. Hafell. After a short service at the house, the remains were taken to the Church in Woodsfield, where a funeral sermon was delivered in the German language. A number of the members of the congregation sang a few well known German hymns, and as the organ gave forth the time of a funeral march the remains were taken from the Church to their resting place, the Woodsfield cemetery. A great many friends attended the funeral. Mr. Schneider was a well respected and well known in this community. His last days were days of great suffering, but he endured it all with Christian patience and found consolation in the great truths of the gospel making its hope also his hope. His age was 73 years, 7 months, and 29 days.
