In a letter dated August 9, 1935, written by A.D. Hiller, Executive Assistant to the Administrator, Veterans Administration, Washington, it was noted that Adam Schlott of York County was a pensioner of the Revolutionary War.
The Revolutionary War Record which follows was obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W.2870, based upon his service in that war.
"John Adam Schlott was born on 26 December 1761 in "Hessee Cassele", Middelsie, District of Schwartzenfeld, Germany. The names of his parents are not given.
While residing in Berks County, Pennsylvania he enlisted sometime in August 1776, and served one month as a Private in Captian John Golden's company under Colonel Dickender in the Pennsylvania troops; he immediately enlisted in the Flying Camp and served six months in Captain Jacob Bower's Company, Colonel Haller's regiment and was in the battle of White Plains.
He was allowed pension on his application executed January 8, 1833, then a resident of Windsor Township, York County, Pennsylvania, where he had moved in 1788 from Berks County. He died August 3, 1833.
John Adam Schlott married April 29, 1788, Catharina Holderrien. It is not shown where they married; the place of her birth is not given, nor are the names of her parents stated.
The soldier's widow, Catharina Schlott, was allowed pension on her application executed June 17, 1839, then aged seventy-two years, eight months and twenty-five days, and living in Windsor Township, York County, Pennsylvania.
The following are the names of their children as found in the claim:
John Migel born March 7, 1789 Elisabeda born March 3, 1791 Johannes born October 8, 1792 Kaderina born July 20, 1794 Maria born March 18, 1797 Rebecka born April 29, 1799 Sofyia born January (?) 23, 1802 Machtdelena born August 11, 1805"
In 1941, the Rev. Edward C. Ruby, D.D., prepared a paper titled "Data Concerning Several Branches of the SCHLOTT, SLOAT, FAMILIES IN THE UNITED STATES (York, Pennsylvania). He noted that Johan Adam Schlott arrived on the ship "Union" from Rotterdam, and qualified on September 30, 1774. He cites the Penna. Archives, 2nd series, 17th Vol.---Immigrants.
He further noted that the Pennsylvania census of 1790 contains the names of- Michael Slutt -1-4-4 (4 sons under 16 and three daughters) Adam Slutt -1-1-1 (1 son under 16).
His paper supports the children listed above as children of Adam and Catharina. He obtained their names and birthdates from records at the Canadochly Lutheran Church in York, Pennsylvania.
He also wrote that Adam Schlott's Will is recorded at the York County Court House. In the will, which was made on August 25, 1832, and probated on September 3, 1833, the following children were mentioned: Michael; Elizabeth, wife of Jacob Liphart; John; Catharine, wife of John Kramer; Anna Maria, wife of George Atting; Rebecca, wife of Wm. Matthias; Sophia, wife of George Dellinger; and Magdelena, wife of Adam Kromling.
The Slothower family of York County are descendants of Niclaus Schlotthauer, b. abt 1730 of Hesse Cassel, Germany and his wife Anna Elisabeth. Many of the family changed their name to Schlott and Sloat.
Niclaus and Anna Elisabeth had the following children:
Heinrich Anthon Schlotthauer, b. 14 Oct 1753 chr. at Sherman's (St. David's) Union in West Manheim Twp, York, PA. Maria Christina Schlotthauer, b. 23 Dec 1755 chr. at Sherman's Union Johan Michael Schlotthauer, chr. 26 Jun 1757 (Rev. Jacob Lischey's Record) Christinia Elisabetha Schlotthauer, b. 2 Apr 1759 chr. at Sherman's Union Anna Margreth Schlotthauer, chr. 10 May 1761 (Rev. Jacob Lischy's Record) Johan Adam Schlotthauer, b. 26 Dec 1761, (Canadochly Church Cemetery) Peter Schlotthauer, (Name from St. Matthew's (Hanover) and Strayer's (West Manchester Twp.)) Magdalena Schlotthauer, b. 3 Dec 1770 chr. St. Matthew's (Hanover)
I come through the above Johan Michael Schlotthauer who shortened the name to Schlott.

Anna Margaretha (Schmidt), wife of Daniel Cramer, on the baptismal records of her daughter, Eva Elisabetha Cramer. Often shown as the daughter of Heinrich SCHMIDT.
However, Scott Michael Troutman, smtroutman@atlanticbb.net, in February 2005, had the following in his notes about the family of Heinrich and Anna Margaretha SCHMIDT: "Research of William S. CRAMER in Smith family file 2711, 1992, York Historical Society Library states that "Henry Smith emigrated aboard the ship Pennsylvania Merchant 11 Sept 1731 (Strassberger & Hicke pps 43,45,46.) List as Johan Hendrick Smit and Johan Hennrich Schmidt with Margarite Smit (his wife). Children also include a Rosina Smit.
Daughter Anna Margaretha is thought to be married to Daniel Kramer. Info in the Smith family file at York Historical Society give her birth as 1740, death 1803. However, she is listed in fathers will ca 1771 as married to Jacob Harbaugh, and NOT Daniel Kramer. IF Daniel Kramer died before 1771, or if Anna Margareta divorced and remarried, this might be possible. Otherwise, the information that Anna Margaretha Schmidt-the daughter of Heinrich Schmidt-was married to Daniel Kramer MAY BE IN ERROR."
Clarence E. Cramer writes that "The 1779 Tax Records show Helfer Cramer then owned a farm of 124 acres in Codorus Township (see page 12), and his mother is listed seperately as "Widow GRAMER" with the parental acres." (P. 52)
In September, 1815, Helfrig Cramer was the administrator of the Estate of Anna N. Cramer, widow, of Codorus Township. Tenet in $200. Inventory filed March 11, 1816. Account filed December 24, 1816, shows a balance of $9. 41 1/2.

Vivian Schoenfeld Solares found eternal peace on June 15, 2022, at 10:35 am, with her family by her side at the age of 82 years old, with her final words being "I'm ready to go".
Vivian was born March 11, 1940, in New Orleans, Louisiana to Eugene and Vivian Schoenfeld and was the second of five children. Vivian lived a full and eventful life as she grew up in New Orleans. She attended high school at the Academy of the Sacred Heart and graduated from Dominican College. While growing up in New Orleans, Vivian enjoyed spending time with her grandmother, Mere. Vivian was the family historian, and told many stories about grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and even family pets.
Vivian was always ready to face challenges head on, and was often an outside the box thinker, inventing many things throughout her life to help with her day-to-day living. There was never a challenge or project that was too big for Vivian, she always did things little by little until they were completed. After starting a family in 1963, Vivian and her husband moved to Thibodaux, Louisiana where they had three more children, before settling into her home in Harahan, Louisiana in 1972. It was in her house in Harahan where Vivian raised her four children and would eventually help raise her grandchildren at different stages of their lives. Vivian, a teacher by profession, made it a point to show her children and grandchildren the importance of education and hard work.
During her life Vivian was able to imprint lifelong lessons on her family and friends that will carry on her legacy. As Vivian liked to say, "despite everything that happened it was a wonderful life". Vivian also loved gardening and going to her cabin in Kiln, Mississippi.
Vivian will be missed dearly by those who knew her. Vivian was preceded in death by her husband Sigmund A. Solares, her father Eugene M. Schoenfeld, her mother Vivian M. Schoenfeld and her brothers Eugene M. and Robert M. Schoenfeld.
Vivian is survived by her older sister Kathleen S. Casey, her younger brother Noel D. Schoenfeld, her four children Jessica S. Cristina, Rachel R. Solares, Vivian S. Cahill, and Sigmund J. Solares (Brandy), her eight grandchildren Ashley F. Millet (Jordan), Madeline Cristina, Michael Cristina, Alexandra V. Demac, Olivia R. Demac, Corey C. Cahill, Ryan W. Demac, Arden J. Demac and great-grandchild Leo D. Millet.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend the memorial service in the chapel of Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, on Monday, June 27, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. Visitation will be held at the funeral home beginning at 9:00 a.m. Per
Vivian's request, absolutely no flowers. Instead, please make donations to the Ozanam Inn in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Anna Cora Schoff to Herbert Randall 17 Sept 1879, Washtenaw County, MI Source: Marriages for Washtenaw County, MI USGENWEB
However, if Anna Schoff married in 1879, she must have been born sometime before 1863, so she is too old to be a child of John and Margaret. Perhaps she is some other relation?
When she applied for her Social Security Account in 1942, her last name was listed as Anderson, and she was a co-owner of Anderson Pennywise Drug Store at 5436 S. Tacoma Way in Tacoma, Washington. She indicated that her last full time job, with Anderson, had ended on October 20, 1941. She listed her home address as Box 193 in South Tacoma.

His great-grandson and namesake, Jake Schopf of Kirkland, Washington, writes that Jacob "Jake left the family one day on the train to find work in Charlevoix, Michigan. He never returned." Jacob left to search for work around the same general time period as the sinking of the Champlain (more details about this accident appear in a Bob Miles re-write of an article in the Charlevoix Journal on June 23, 1887). J.M. Ingalls, also a descendant, speculates that Jake Schopf may have perished in this accident. It is also possible, based on prior health problems as reported by his family, that he may have suffered from a heart attack while searching for work.
According to Mae Schopf Ingalls, Jacob's family were heirs to the estate of Maria Schopf nee Zimmerman, deceased 23 June 1953 in Gerlingen, Germany. (These papers, containing a list of heirs as of 1962, were prepared by Ackermann of Hoerner-Bank gmbh Heilbronn a-n, Lohtorstrasse 26, Telefon 3428 und 3493, Telegramm-adresse: Hoernerbank Heilbronneckar).
Jake Schopf writes that his grandfather "grew up in Michigan and became involved in logging. He followed the trees west to Washington He worked his way up the career ladder until he became Mill Superintendent of the Day Lumber Company of Big Lake, Washington. At that time it was the largest mill in Western Washington."

In 1986, Philip Schopf reported that his parents were Jake and Isabelle Schopf, and that they were Baptist missionaries living in Taguaginitia De Norte, Brasil. Philip said he was the second born of their four sons. He indicated that both his parents were around age 62 in 1988.
In a brief biographical sketch of his father, Jake Schopf, Jr., writes that "Jake was a stand out athlete at Everett High School, where he lettered in Football, Basketball, Baseball and Track. He was offered full scholarships in football and baseball at several colleges but chose instead to attend a small Bible college in Los Angeles, California to prepare to be a missionary." He received his bachelor's degree from Los Angeles Baptist Theological Seminary.
Jake later wrote that his father "was born again and called to the ministry at age twelve through the ministry of John R. Rice. The day of his conversion he, along with some friends, went throughout Everett inviting people to come to the evangelistic services. As a young man at Calvary Baptist Church his heart was touched by the missionaries who filled the pulpit and taught Sunday School. Jake was a leader in the youth group....it was during this time that he first got to know the one who would become the love of his life, Isabelle Gates."
For over 40 years Jake and Isabelle served the Lord in various parts of Brazil; Ceara, Belem in Para, Sao Jose in Sao Paolo, and Brasilla. He retired from the foreign field to be Western Representative of Baptist Mid-Missions. Around 1992, Jake retired again and wound up first as interim pastor, and later as senior pastor, of First Baptist Church of Soap Lake, Washington.
On the Fourteenth Cenus of the United States (1920), a John S. Schopf and family is found in Ferry County, Washington.

Ferry County, Washington, was created from Stevens County on February 8, 1899. Republic is the county seat. Ferry County encompasses 2,313 square miles, the ninth biggest county in the state. It extends from the international boundary line with Canada, on the north, to the Columbia River on the south, and from the Columbia and Kettle Rivers on the east, to Okanogan County on the west. The United States census of 1900 gave Ferry County a population of 4,562; by 1903 this had increased to 4,646. In 1990, the population was 6,295. The 1998 state of Washington Yearbook gave the county an estimated population of 7,300.

It is possible, but not likely, that he is one of the six children (as per the 1900 census) of John Jacob and Margaret (Irwin) Schopf. It was very common for all the sons in German families to be given the first name of Johann/John, and to be called by their middle names. However, if his age on the census is accurate, he would have been born between George and May, but born in Indiana whereas they were both born in Michigan. I also noted that he showed both parents as born in Indiana, which is not correct for either John Jacob or Margaret Irwin. He was not listed as a son of Margaret Schopf on the 1900 census, however, and at age 15 would *probably* still been at home, especially as his 17 year old brother George was still at home. However, the obituary of Margaret Schopf did show she was both the mother of a son named J.J. (John Jacob?) and a son named John. Need to follow up further.
Preston Wright, on his "All Families combined" tree at WorldConnect, shows that Joseph was born in Patfulu, Hungary (now Podersdorf, Austria) and died in 1963 in Spokane. He was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Spokane.

In 1913, the family moved to Spokane, WA. He graduated from Gonzaga Prep High School in 1930, and moved to Seattle, where he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, working with the Forestry Service and in the construction of Ross Dam.
In 1934, Larry entered the Marine Corps, was discharged in 1938, and re-enlisted in 1942, during WWII, where he served in the Pacific Theatre as an Artillery Platoon Sergeant until the end of the war. After the war, Larry returned to Spokane were he began working for the Federal Government. In 1952, he married his wife Shirley and moved to Hauser Lake, Idaho, where he built a log home for his family. The Idaho life allowed him to fulfill his dream of gardening, fishing, hunting, and country living. Upon the closure of the Naval Supply Depot in Spokane, Larry was reassigned to the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, where he worked as a firefighter. He and his family moved to Mt. Vernon in 1960.
Although Larry retired in 1971 from the Naval Air Station he remained active in his retirement. He went on to work for 20 years at the Moose Lodge, where he was a lifetime member. In 1992, in Larry's words, "I retired for good." Larry was active in his church, Immaculate Conception, volunteered in the St. Vincent de Paul Society for many years, and was a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus. Larry lived by the motto "Once a Marine always a Marine", through his involvement in the Marine Corps League of Skagit County, in which he was honored as the oldest Marine in the League. Larry was always willing to help anyone in need, particularly his neighbors in Park Village where he and his wife have lived for the past 31 years. He enjoyed an active life of travel, gardening, fishing and camping. His greatest pleasure was spending time with his family.

Obituary information from Farmer and Son Funeral Home.
The daughter of Andreus SCHROPFER and Faustina NUN. Minnie was picked up by a neighbor at school on the day of the famous Blizzard of 1888. It was her first night away from home, and she cried all night. The 1910 census showed her as the mother of 4 children, three of whom were still living (Milligan, p 334).
He was the second son of Josef and Marie Schultz nee Buchar, a family of eleven children, born in Zahajske Lhoty [Zalesni Lhota] Okres Jilemic, Kraj, Jicin, Bohemia about 40 miles northeast of Praha. He served in the German Army for six years listed as Franz Scholz. (Milligan, p. 477). Kathleen Peterson notes that their last name was listed as Scholz in Nebraska records, and that he farmed the E/2 of the NW/4, section 35-16N-5E, Chester Precinct, Saunders County, NE. This 80 acres was bought in 1883 for $1000 and sold in 1890 to Mary Kaspar for $2675. This farm was apparently originally owned by (Frank's brother?) Joseph Scholz (Sulc/Schultz?) and wife Maria.

The following two articles appeared in the October 20, 1961 Michigan City (Indiana) News Dispatch:
SEVENTH OCTOBER VICTIM
Victor C. Schultz, 49, R. R. 2, Box 91, was fatally injured in a one car accident in Trail Creek at 4:50 yesterday afternoon.
Schultz became the 31st person to die in LaPorte County traffic fatalities this year and the seventh this month.
Police said Schultz suffered a crushed chest when the front bumper of his car land on him after he had been thrown out.
Before Schultz was tossed from the vehicle, it knocked down a Nothern Indiana Public Service Co., utility pole and lines. Much of the area was temporarilty withought electrical power part of the evening as a result of the accident.
The crash was heard and sparks from the felled wires (were) observed several blocks from the accident scene--E. Michigan Street just west of Warnke Road. The mishap occured just a few feet outside Michigan City's limits. At the location, the center of Michigan Street is the boundary line between Trail Creek and Michigan City.
Patrolman Jack Wilson of the Michigan City police department investigated the accident. He said Schultz's eastbound auto went off the right side of the highway, travelled about 25 feet, knocked down the utility pole, traveled another 50 feet, rolled over throwing the driver out, and came to a rest on its wheels facing the highway.
The read of the car was on an incline, police said, and the front bumper pinned the driver to the ground. He could not be removed until a tow truck arrived and the bumper was lifted off him.
Schultz was pronounced dead on arrival at Doctors Hospital.
The victim was the father of three boys and one girl. One of his sons came upon the accident and was a witness to the attempted rescue operatio
The county's fatality toll for 1961 is rapidly approaching the total for 1960 at the same date. At this time last year, 33 persons had been killed in county traffice accidents.
With 19 days elapsed, October already has equalled the total for the previous worth traffic month in the county---August when seven persons were killed. More than half to the county's traffice fatalities for 1961---16 of them----have occurred since August 1.

Elaine Jean Harkrider, 80, passed away on December 3, 2016 in Nacogdoches, Texas. Mrs. Harkrider was born on March 24, 1936, the daughter of Edwin Henry Fredrick Schulze and Rose Martha Henneman Schulze. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, December 17, 2016 at 2:00 PM at Laird Funeral Home with Bro. Robert Harkrider officiating.
Elaine graduated from East High School in Denver, Colorado, and then attended Abilene Christian College where she met the love of her life, David Harkrider. They married December 14, 1954 and spent a wonderful 53 years together until his passing in 2009. She was a member of the Church of Christ and taught Sunday School her entire life.
Her passion was her family. We called her Mamaw. Everybody did. Because that's who she was - Mamaw. Mamaw loved the Lord. She loved the Lord and his work. And she loved her family. She had three children, but she counted five, including the two daughters she gained through marriage. She had six grandchildren, again, nine, adding three more through marriage. Then came her eight great-grandchildren. She was so proud of all her children and felt comfort to know they were all striving to be faithful to the Lord.
She moved to Nacogdoches three short months ago, after living in Colorado for most of her life, and while she loved every minute of it, she said that her next move would be to heaven. In those few months, she touched the lives of many through her kindness, her gentleness, her sincere interest in others ??" something the family has always known but takes comfort in knowing others saw her the same way. We have fond memories of her card playing ability. Hand and foot was a favorite holiday tradition. She could keep us laughing with her coy way of being the sweet, poor old grandmother when in fact she was pretty sharp in her play. Her pantry would be stocked with special cookies and treats for her grandchildren. Spoiling them was a job she took serious. She thought she could talk her way out of anything. Once, she took her favorite hand lotion and almost caused us to miss the plane because she was adamant the TSA agent should let her keep it! She smiled and acted surprised every year as she looked in her stocking and found a bag of cough drops! She played Cinderella in the kitchen, would go to all the ball games, loved secret Taco Bell stops, loved going on road trips - after she got there. Of course, she had to "help" the driver the whole way up and down the mountain! Her silly side demonstrated in the orange pumpkin dress she wore at Halloween ??" there are so many fond memories we all have and share. These will get us through this sad time and be cherished for a lifetime. "You know who you are, and you know what you can do," she would say to her grandchildren. We will miss her phone calls, and seeing her rocking on the porch with our Papaw. Mamaw and Papaw were a great pair. She took care of him, and him her. Papaw called her 'Mother Fear" but he would reassure her that everything would work out. But above all, Mamaw loved the Lord. She devoted herself to her bible studies and spoke often of His wondrous Word. Her life was one of a righteous, faithful woman ??" one in which stood as an example to both young and old. We will miss seeing her rock on the porch with a bible in her hand and Dewey at her feet.
She will be missed, more than any words can express. But she's been working her whole life for this, for Heaven, and now she is home. She is with Papaw and with her Creator, and He is taking care of her. We love and miss you, Mamaw. Mrs. Harkrider is survived by her sons, John David Harkrider and wife, Jenell of Nacogdoches, and Paul David Harkrider and wife, Jana of Cypress, Tx.; Daughter, Wendy Lee Harkrider of Nacogdoches; Brother, Dr. Paul Schulze and wife, Marilyn of Stephenville, Tx; Father-In-Law, J.D. Harkrider of Nacogdoches; Grandchildren, Ross David Harkrider, James David Harkrider, Conrad David Harkrider, Colin David Harkrider, Jordan David Harkrider and Sydney D Harkrider; Great-grandchildren, Beaux David Harkrider, Emmett James Harkrider, Chase Donald Harkrider, Brooklynn Kate Harkrider, Layna Claire Harkrider, Nora Belle Harkrider, Hensley Blou Harkrider, and Denver Craig Harkrider. She was preceded in death by her husband, David Rawson Harkrider, her parents, and one brother, Dr. Donald Edwin Schulze.

Louisa LaVonne (Schwab) Manning was born on September 4, 1927, to John Oran and Margaret Elizabeth (Myers) Schwab at her parents' home two miles west of Exeter, Nebraska. She died at Heritage Crossings in Geneva on Tuesday, June 20, 2023 at the age of 95 years, 9 months, and 16 days.
Her grandfather, Philip Schwab, homesteaded across the road in 1871. Some of the history of her Grandma Melissa Whitaker Schwab's family is on the monument in front of the Fillmore County Courthouse.
When asked as a small child what her name was, Louisa said something that sounded like "Wee-wee," and her Dad never called her anything else. Her favorite place was outside or being in the barn with her dog, "Ernie." She continued to enjoy dogs all of her life.
Louisa attended rural school District 91 through the fourth grade and Exeter Public School where she graduated with the class of 1944. She enrolled in classes at Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln and pledged Alpha Gamma Delta as a sophomore.
Louisa took the bus to work at the Havelock Goodyear plant the summer of 1945 working to cover WWII B-24 bombers' fuel tanks with seven layers of rubber to protect them from bullets. The tanks were bigger than caskets. She was a real "Rosie the Riveter!"
Louisa received her teaching certificate in 1946 and taught fourth grade in Sutton, Nebr. for one year. She had 20 students and remembered many of their names more than 70 years later. Louisa traveled to New York State the summer of 1947 to visit Schwab relatives and the graves of ancestors.
Louisa was baptized and confirmed by Rev. Samuel Beechner at the Exeter Methodist Church on April 9, 1939, in the same class as her future husband, Richard Manning. They were married in an 8:00 p.m. ceremony on Fri., November 14, 1947, at the church. A wedding dance followed in Burress on the snowy and sleety night.
The couple lived on the "Abbott" place east of the Fairmont Airfield without electricity, plumbing or telephone. They moved into Dick's parents' home next to the Manning Grain Company headquarters in Burress in Nov. 1953 and then into the house they built in the east "suburbs" of Burress in May 1960.
Louisa loved her home and family and enjoyed caring for their large garden and lawn, sewing, and canning. Her wedding memory album showed that her greatest ambition was "to be a good cook." Dick said he taught Louisa how to make grilled cheese sandwiches, but it was noted that she baked her first pie, an apple, for her folks' 30th anniversary three weeks after their wedding to serve with the rabbit that Dick had shot. Family and friends were beneficiaries of Louisa's great meals and baking: cloverleaf and cinnamon rolls, breads, kolaches, cookies, pies, and many angel food birthday cakes with seven-minute frosting. Her frozen sweet corn was priceless.
Louisa was a long-time member of the Exeter and Geneva UMW and American Legion Auxiliary Post #218, serving in various offices. She was a past member of the Exeter Women's Club. Since building their home and moving to Geneva in March 1992, Louisa had volunteered for Save for American at the elementary school, at the Red Cross Bloodmobile, and at Heritage Crossings. Louisa and Dick enjoyed delivering Meals on Wheels together. They established the Richard and Louisa Manning Scholarship Fund in 2008 to benefit Exeter-Milligan and Fillmore Central graduates attending a University of Nebraska school. They also made gifts in 2009 to the Nebraska and Exeter Area Community Foundations.
In later years, Louisa and Dick continued to enjoy their new home, computers, reading, tending their flowers and garden, and attending their grandchildren's activities and events. They traveled extensively. Some of their trips were by small plane piloted by Dick, including to Las Vegas and Canada. Louisa and Dick celebrated their 50th anniversary on Nov. 9, 1997, with a buffet dinner at Chances R Restaurant in York and their 60th anniversary and 80th birthdays with an open house buffet at Stone Creek in McCool Junction on November 17, 2007.
Dick died on October 13, 2011, following surgery in October of 2010, and Louisa could no longer care for her home and yard. She moved just down "J" St. to her Heritage Crossings assisted-living apartment on June 10, 2013. Her dear friend there was Dick's cousin, Jim Biba. Louisa moved to skilled nursing on November 18, 2015.
Louisa was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Philip and Waverly (infant); husband, Richard; and daughter-in-law, Roxanne Manning.
She leaves to cherish memories and gratitude for her life her children Jim of Lincoln; Mary Jane (Ken) Havick of Omaha; Margie (Chris) Hayes of Osceola; Scott of Omaha, and Don (Joan), of Burress; eleven grandchildren Leslie (Pat) Huggins, Kirk (Elisha) Havick, Amy (Justin) Mollak, Kara (Brad) Geelan, Jena (Jeff) Depue, Austin and Landon (Jamie) Hayes, Megan and Madeline Manning, Rachel (Robert) Powell, Jr., and Shane Manning; fifteen great-grandchildren Brooks, Brynn, and Blake Havick, Nora, Levi, and Rio Depue, Elle, Luke, and Gavin Mollak, Maggie, Kora, and Kylie Geelan, Benjamin Powell, and Layla and Maxwell Hayes. Also surviving are many cherished nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives and friends and neighbors, including members of the Burress Belles group.
Louisa's message to all who knew her: "Thanks for being a player in my life. I've been very lucky!"
Mark 14:8: "She has done what she could."

A Good Man Gone
Mr. Andrew Schwegler, died at his home in the township on Christmas Day. His demise was the result of heart trouble which was greatly aggravated by a severe injury received about two years ago.
Mr. Schwegler was born in Germany January 9, 1849. In the year 18?? he imigrated to this country and located for a few years in Alton, New York, where his brother Jo?? resided. In 1874, Mr. Schwegler came to Cass City, and a few months later was united in marriage with Louisa BENKELMAN, who survives him. Besides his widow five children are left to mourn his loss. One child has preceded him to that better land beyond. Mr. Schwegler has been a resident of this township for the past twenty-five years and was one of the most industrious and succesful farmers in the county. The present homestead is the result of hard work and wise management.
Mr. Schwegler was a member of the Evangelical Church and held various positions of trust during his connections with the society. He was a man of genial nature, beloved in his home circle, and had left a host of friends to whom his sudden death has come as a severe blow. His death was a victorious one. He spoke of it in a matter of fact way for several days before he passed away. He retained his consciousness up to the last moment, and finally at 8 o'clock, on the day when God proclaimed peace and good will to all men, his spirit left the mortal body and went to that eternal rest where all hardships of life forever cease.
He and his brother Edward jointly operated a home Dairy Farm in Charlotte for a time, selling their operations in 1952, according to the STRIFFLER-BENKELMAN BROADCAST.
