Schroeder For the second time within a comparatively short period death has entered the home of Aug. Schroeder, and this time the head of the family was called. Mr. Schroeder's illness was of only about a week's duration. He caught a severe cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia and he succumbed to the disease last Saturday morning. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. B. Harrison at the Congregational church Monday afternoon. The arrangements were in charge of the local G. A. R. post and the ladies of the G. A. R. The later organization also assisted in the services in accordance with their beautiful ritual. Floral offerings were numerous and the flag of his country which the deceased had served faithfully, added to their beauty. Many of those who were not able to gain admittance to the church joined in the procession to the Pebble cemetery, where the dead soldier sleeps his last peaceful sleep. Following were the pallbearers; Carl Kreibel and J. C. Corliss, of Hooper; E. C. Burns, Jacob Wuite, G. G. Stone and W. L. Golder, of Scribner. All were old soldiers and the first named served in the same company with the deceased. Aug. Schroeder was born in the kingdom of Prussia on Jan. 13, 1841. At the age of sixteen he came to America with his parents and Watertown, Wis. was his home until 1861, when, at the age of twenty, he enlisted in a Wisconsin regiment, serving the full term of three years. He came to Nebraska in 1870 and has since made his home on the homestead which he then took. Besides the widow a large number of children, the youngest about four years of age, survive him. As a soldier and as a citizen Mr. Schroeder's conduct was always such as to win for him the highest respect of his comrades and friends. He was prominent in G. A. R. circles and at the time of his death was adjutant of the local post. In politics he affiliated with the republican party and last fall was the candidate of his party for county supervisor. The sterling qualities which he exhibited in his youth on the field of battle were exemplified in his pioneer days and entered his every day affairs during the remainder of his life.

He took a homestead of eighty acres of wild land, upon which he placed good improvements, including a good residence 18x30 feet, built in 1883; also a barn, cribbing, good granary, and a bored well provided with windpower. He also set out an orchard of one hundred trees. The farm now consists of one hundred and eighty acres, one hundred and fifty of which is under the plow. He brought about one thousand dollars to the country with him, but being here through the terrible ravages of the grasshoppers, he saw many hard times, but all in all has made a successful farmer. To acquaint the reader with this man's earlier career, let it be stated that he was born in Germany in January, 1841, the son of William and Charlotte Schroeder, natives of Germany, who had six children, named as follows; Robert, August, Charles, Bertha, Minnie and Emma. Our subject remained in Germany until seventeen years of age, when he emigrated with his parents to America. From New York they came direct to Dodge County, Wisconsin, where he worked out for a time and bought a farm upon which he remained thirteen years, and then came to Dodge County, Nebraska.

He was mustered in at Milwaukee; belonged to the Fourteenth Army Corps, was sent to Kentucky, and was in the engagements at Perryville, Chichamauga, Stone River, and Murfreesboro, but came out of the service without receiving a wound, after having served three years.
