OBITUARY OF THE LIFE OF PHILIP SCHNEIDER

Philip Schneider was the son of John Schneider and wife, deceased, born on
March 27, 1860, on the old homestead near Hinton, Iowa, and passed away in
the early morning of December 17, 1936, at his home in Hinton after a
lingering illness. He reached the age of 76 years, 8 months, and 21 days.

On December 8, 1886, he was united in marriage with Miss Caroline Koenig, of
LeMars, who preceded him in death in 1912. Into this home, eight children
were born, two of whom died in infancy. The oldest of the children, Mrs.
Kathryn Taylor, died in 1917. Those who survive with their father are
Rudolph, Robert, Ralph, Burdette, and Mrs. Lucille Beguin, all of Hinton and
vicinity.

In 1919 Mr. Schneider was united in marriage with Mrs. Jessie Lawrence
Messick, of Hinton. From this second marriage he is survived by his widow,
and a son, Philip Lawrence. Besides these, the departed is survived by two
sisters, Miss Frederica Schneider of Hinton, who because of illness was
unable to attend the funeral, and Mrs. Mary Koenig, of Sioux City, but at
the present time in California, and four grandchildren, also a large number
of other relatives and friends.

He was known and respected by a throng of friends who knew him for many
years as son of one of the early pioneers of this community who helped
develop this territory. But his life work was not connected only with the
temporal development of this territory. It was during his very early life
that the first Evangelical missionaries were welcomed into the home of his
parents, who became charter members of the Melbourne Evangelical church, of
which the departed became a member when a young man. Death is not the end.
We hope for a blessed immortality in the life to come.

The funeral service was largely attended at the Melbourne Evangelical church
Saturday afternoon, Dec. 19, the pastor, Rev. Karl Kaupp officiating. A
mixed quartet composed of Miss Carolyn Bogenrief, Mrs. Evelyn Winter, B. A.
Bogenrief and Allen Schindel, sang two appropriate hymns.

Interment was made in Graceland Cemetery, Sioux City.
