His homestead is located on sections 25, 26, 35 and 36, township 46, range 1 west, and consists of about eight hundred acres of finely improved land, all of which has been acquired by his industry and frugality'. Since settling here he has from time to time made valuable improvements on the place, the appearance of which reflects credit on his energy and thrift. The eldest child of Eberhardt William and Mar}- Elizabeth Schnarre, our subject was born in Wester Cappeln, Germany, May 12, 1833. In childhood he received a good education, and upon completing his studies he learned the carpenter's trade. In September, 1854, he set sail from Bremen for America in search of a new home for himself and for his father's family who remained behind awaiting anxiously the tidings of his progress and success. After a voyage of two months he landed in New Orleans and immediately proceeded on his way to St. Louis, where he found employment at his trade during the winter months. In the spring of 1855 he went to St. Charles County and worked for William Hurst at Schluersburg about two weeks. Then going to Cappeln, he entered the employ of William H. Gerdemann, who was formerly a resident of the same part of Germany as himself. For a year Mr. Schnarre continued to reside in the vicinity of Cappeln, and during that time managed to send sufficient money to his parents to bring them and their six children to the United States. In the fall of 1855 they arrived safely and settled upon a rented farm in Charrelto Township, where they lived for a 3'ear and a-haif. In 1857 our subject for the first time became the owner of land, as he then invested his earnings in two tracts of forty acres each, lying in Hickory Grove Town- ship. Upon one of these farms he is still living, having resided here for nearly four decades. His father and other members of the family came to live upon the farm in the fall of 1857, but the former died in July, 1858. Of the brothers and sisters of our subject, Mina married Casper Ellermann, formerly a farmer of St. Charles County, but now deceased; Henry J. married and settled in St. Charles County, where he died in 1893; Fredericka is the widow of Henry Schroer, formerly' an agriculturist of St. Charles County; Lizzette is the wife of George Schroer, who operates a farm in Lincoln Count}^; Gcrhardt William is married and lives on a farm in Warren County; and Dina became the wife of Herman Schroer, who owns a farm in Lincoln County. The marriage of our subject was celebrated February 27, 1859, at which time Miss Mary Schroer became his wife. She was born in Germany, and in childhood accompanied her father, Gerliardt Schroer, to America, in 1836, settling in Femme Osage Township, St. Charles County, where she grew to womanhood. Two children have been born of her marriage, namely: Lizzette, who became the wife of John Gerdemann, and resides upon the home farm; and Henry J., who also lives upon a part of the homestead. Although Mr. Schnarre has given a portion of his time to his trade since he east in his fortunes with the good people of Warren Countv, his principal occupation has been that of farming and stock-raising. His various enterprises and investments have been almost uniformly prospered, and he ma3' well be proud of the fact that he is owner of one of the largest and best farms in this section of the state. Since casting his first vote for Abraham Lincoln, he has always been a loyal supporter of the Republican party (Portrait and Biographical Record of St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren counties, Missouri - Chapman Publishing, 1895).
