Hazleton Sentinel; Monday, May 21, 1883:
John Schutter, who for the past forty years has been in the employ of A. Pardee & Co., died at his residence on East Broad street about twelve o'clock, Friday night, after about one weeks illness caused by inflammation of the lungs. He is classed among the oldest and most respected German citizens of Hazleton, and was widely known and esteemed among his neighbors. For the past thirty years he was employed as stationary engineer at the No. 3, and Laurel Hill collieries and was generally considered to be the most careful and trustworthy man that could be placed in charge of machinery. He was very industrious and leaves a comfortable house for his family all of whom are married with the exception of two daughters who reside at home with their mother. Mr. Schutter was a devout christian and one that made a practice of assisting all who applied to him for charity or assistance when in need. He was a member of Hazleton Lodge No. 65, I.O. of O.F. and also of Beaver Encampment and as an Oddfellow he invariably carried out the benevolent principles of the order and maintained a character for honesty and consistency in all his dealings that caused him to be held in high esteem in the community. The funeral takes place to-morrow afternoon from his late residence on East Broad street at half past two o'clock. Interment in Vine street cemetery.

Hazleton Sentinel; Wednesday, May 23, 1883:
The funeral of John Schutter, who died at his home on East Broad street, Friday evening last, took place from his late residence yesterday afternoon. About one hundred members of Hazleton Lodge, No. 65, I.O. of O.F., of which deceased was a member were out in full regalia to pay the last tribute of respect to his remains. Notwithstanding the inclement weather all classes of people in the borough and many from the surrounding villages attended the funeral which was one of the largest that has taken place here for many a day. Laurel Hill colliery suspended work at noon and the employes together with those of the Lehigh Valley shops turned out to a man. The pall bearers appointed by the Odd Fellows were Robert Lynn, Robert Stevens, Reese Jones, James Lane, John Struck, Conrad Miller, Henry Schaffer and Alex Stewart. In the procession we noticed many of the officials of A. Pardee & Co.'s collieries together with those of the L.V. RR. Co., and a very fair representation of the prominent business men of our town. The remains were taken into Salem's Evangelical church, where appropriate services were conducted by Revs. D.B. Stauffer and Alex. B. Jack. Rev. Stauffer preached in German, taking for his text, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. He was followed by Rev. Alex. B. Jack in English. His subject was God's sovereignty in affliction, and his vindication of God's ways of working was simply magnificent. At the conclusion of the services the remains were conveyed to Vine street cemetery and deposited in their final resting place after the burial services of Odd Fellowship had been read.
