Death of Anthony Schoenenberger

Anthony Schoenenberger, a large land owner and a wealthy farmer of Walnut township, died at his home last Friday morning after an illness of about two weeks from pneumonia. He was 57 years of age, was born in Ohio and came to Madison county with his parents in 1855 and has lived here ever since. He has one grown son by a first marriage and two children from a second marriage, who with their mother survive him.

Anthony Schoenenberger was one of the best men in his township, or in fact, in the county. He was a man of large business operations and honest and reliable in all his dealings. He will be greatly mourned by his large circle of acquaintances.

The funeral services were held in the M.E. church at Peru last Saturday, and a very large concourse of his friends and neighbors followed his remains to their last resting place which were interred in the Peru cemetery.

PERU NEWS

It is with deep sorrow that we chronicle the death of Anthony Schoenenberger, which occurred this (Friday) morning at about 2 o'clock, after an illness of two weeks and two days. He was getting better, when on Wednesday he took a relapse which terminated a useful life in a few short hours.

Mr. Schoenenberger will be greatly missed from our community. He was one of our progressive farmers, very energetic, a stock raiser on a large scale, a heavy buyer and shipper, and a business man and financier of more than ordinary ability.

He was one of Peru's heavy tax-payers, and had unselfish interest in wanting the town to grow and improve, by standing by its interests.

It is not definitely known when the funeral will occur as his son Walker, who lives in Canada, is 75 miles from a railroad, has not been hear from.
