Ray Schneider Dies Suddenly at Two Rivers
TWO RIVERS—Raymond Schneider, 63, operator of the clothing establishment of
Schneider, Inc., at 1600 Washington St., the city’s second oldest mercantile
enterprise, for the past 35 years, died unexpectedly of a heart attack on his
40-acre woodland tract adjoining Point Beach State Forest, at 10:30 a.m.
Sunday.
Mr. Schneider, an overseas veteran of World War I, had driven his jeep into
his property along the Lake Michigan shore with a long-time friend, William
Hill of Sheboygan, also an ardent out of town enthusiast. The former clothier
was stricken after walking some distance from the vehicle in the vicinity of
Molash Creek.
Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, who was summoned pronounced Mr. Schneider’s
death as a result of a heart attack. The latter had been in poor health for the
past few years.
Funeral Wednesday
Funeral services for Mr. Schneider will be held at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the
Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels here and at 10 a.m. at St. Luke Catholic Church,
the Rev. Patrick McMahon officiating. Interment will be in Pioneers’ Rest
Cemetery here.
Mr. Schneider was born in Sheboygan on April 1, 1892, a son of the late Simon J.
and Josephine Schragge Schneider. In 1901 he was brought to Two Rivers by the
family when his father took over the downtown Two Rivers establishment which
had been operated for a number of years by the latter’s brother, William
Schneider.
Attending the St. Luke Parochial School and graduating from Two Rivers High
School with class of 1911, Raymond Schneider assisted his father in the operation
of the store until he entered the Army in 1917. While he was serving with the Army
of Occupation in Germany his father died here in February of 1919. In the meantime
for a period of several months, until Mr. Schneider’s return, the establishment
was operated by a sister, Marie, now Mrs. Kenneth J. Conant Sr., of Boston, Mass.
In 1920, Mr. Schneider married a former Two Rivers high school schoolmate, Esther
Kaufman. She died on May 16, 1938.
Leaves Two Sisters
Besides Mrs. Conant, Mr. Schneider leaves another sister, Mrs. J. Hewitt (Leona)
Watson of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who has been personally operating a law book
publishing company in that city; and two nephews, Kenneth J. Conant Jr., of Two
Rivers, and John S. Conant of Cambridge, Mass.
Friends may call at the funeral home until the time of services and from there
the Rosary will be recited at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday.
