Columbus Journal, May 26, 1909
Shortly after ten o'clock last Thursday evening, Louis Schreiber was stricken with apoplexy, and before medical aid arrived, passed away. The attack which caused his death was similar to several he has had in the past. During the day he had enjoyed his usual health and was resting at home after a hard days' work. When it became difficult for him to breathe, he began walking about the house, as he had done on former occasions. The attack was so severe that the family called a physician, but he arrived too late. Mr. Schreiber was born near Berlin, Germany, October 20, 1851. He came to America in 1871 and for several years followed the sea, making several trips from New York to the East Indies. In 1876 he came to Columbus where he has since resided and conducted an implement and blacksmithing business. On April 1877, he was married to Miss Minna Asche, who with three children, Louie, Otto and Emma, survive him, two younger ones having died in early childhood. Besides the family he leaves a brother and sister in Germany, and one sister, Mrs. Durkopp, residing four miles north of the city. Mr. Schreiber was fifty-seven years and seven months old at the time of his death. He was a member of the local Maennerchor and also the Modern Woodmen of America. Funeral services were held Sunday from the German Lutheran church, being conducted by the pastor Rev. Herman Miessler, and burial was in the Columbus cemetery.
