His wife died nine years ago, and he is survived by six children - John, Jacob and George Schechter, Mrs. Margaret Trinler and Miss Katherine Schechter, of New Albany, and Christian Schechter, of Chicago. He was a member of the German Evangelical church, at which place his funeral services will be held to-morrow afternoon."
