Mr. Schneider, a public servant in the Meeme township for 45 years, was feted a year ago at a big public meeting at Kutylen's hall in Meeme, following his announcement that he was retiring from public office.
He was a native of the township, born there on Jan. 13, 1871. He was married to the former Emma Roethel, who also was a native of the town of Meeme, and the couple lived on a farm all their lives. They celebrated their golden anniversary on Nov. 15, 1946. He was a member of the Bethel Evangelical and Reformed church, and for many years was an elder and a church deacon. Among the many offices he held, during his long service to his township, were town chairman, district assessor, and town clerk.
While on the Manitowoc County board, he served as chairman of the board and chairman of the highway committee. He was prominent in advancing many projects in Manitowoc County, among them the sanitorium at Whitelaw. His advice was sought by many in public office, and his value to the people of the county was extolled many times by community leaders.
