Frederick D. Schroeder, general farmer and stock-raiser, now permanently located in one of the most beautiful homes in Deep Creek Township, on section 27, is the subject of this historical sketch. He owns about 105 acres, all well improved and supplied with good farm buildings, and is quoted as one of the first class citizens and prominent men of this section. He was born in Holstein, Germany, Oct. 9, 1839, and his father, Louis, was a farmer, who came with a part of his family to the United States in 1864, and settled in the aforementioned township, where he remained until death called him away. He had lived to an advanced age and died in 1885.

Our subject's mother, Margaret (Lillienthal) Schroeder, was born and reared in Holstein, and is yet living, making the home of her daughter, Mrs. Johanna Roennfeldt (see sketch of Hans D. Roennfeldt) her own. She lives in Center Township. Mr. S., of whom we write, was educated at home in his native tongue, and lived with his father until his marriage, March 10, 1862. he then untied with Miss Caroline Hagedore, born in the same Province in Germany, Feb. 23, 1840. She spent her youthful days at home and since her womanhood has reared three children, as follows: Charles F., living at home; Johanna M. and Sophia D. The two eldest of the family are well educated, as they received their training at the South side Institute in Chicago.

Mr. Schroeder is one of the most practical and progressive citizens and farmers in this section of country, and is highly esteemed for his progress and success in his chosen field of industry. His homestead is considered one the best in this township. Politically he is a Democrat.
