Schneider, Magdalena (Blaschke)

The death of another old and valued citizen of our section occurred Wednesday when the spirit of Mrs. John Schneider, wife of a prominent farmer of the New Brunn community, passed unto its Creator. Mrs. Schneider had been ill for about a year, suffering with paralysis. She was a most estimable, kind, good-hearted lady, a general favorite in the neighborhood, and her death is deeply and sincerely deplored. The funeral took place Thursday at St. Michael’s cemetery, Rev. Gerlach of High Hill officiating. She leaves a husband, four sons,--E. J., Emil, Ferdinand and Ernst--and two daughters--Mrs. F. F. Winkler of High Hill and Mrs. Henry Guenther of this city. The sympathy of a large circle of friends in this community is extended the bereaved family.

Schneider, Paul W.

Columbus—Paul W. Schneider died in Columbus Hospital Thursday night a short time after the car in which he was riding with his mother went out of control as she tried to keep him from falling out an open door and brushed against a parked car.

Paul, 4, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Schneider. He and his mother were en route home when the door came open. His mother grabbed him by a foot but the car went out of control and sideswiped a car parked in front of the John Peters home.

Then the Schneider car jumped the curb and hit the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet Hastings. Paul was taken to Columbus Hospital but died a short time later of head and other injuries.

Funeral services were conducted at 7:45 a.m. Saturday at the Untermeyer Funeral Home with continued services at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church. [Interment in St. Anthony’s Cemetery]

Beside his parents, survivors include two brothers, M. H. and Ervin Schneider. Houston Post.
