Read More	Magdalena Schneeberger Magdalena Schneeberger the second of five children born to Johann Ludwig Schneeberger and Maria Magdalena Koll, was born in Rothbach, Bas-Rhin, France on 14 January 1810. Her family was well known in the area and dates back to the 17th century when her great-great grandfather, Hannss Michael, was born on 20 September 1671. Her younger brother Ludwig followed her to America settling in Shelby County Ohio. With the unexpected death of her husband Michael, Magdalena was left with four young children to raise, as Philip was only 16 at the time of his father's death. It is uncertain if George, who was 20 when his father died, was still at home to help his mother. On the 18th of December in that same year, the first daughter of Michael and Magdalena would marry, and two years later, in 1854, their son George married. A strange event occurred in 1856, and the records do not show what may have led to the situation. On the 7th of February, Magdalena, acting as guardian to Philip, Michael, and Louis, filed a petition with the Court of Common Pleas in Auglaize County against her son George and his wife Sophia Zwiebel. The petition asked the court to force the sale at auction of property in George's name in Auglaize County. On 28 June 1856, the court ordered the sheriff to sell at public auction the property located on Pusheta Creek, and it was sold to Christian Elsass for $1500.00. Somewhere between the sale of the property and March of the next year, George and his wife and one son relocated to Papillion, Nebraska. In February, 1858 Michael and Magdalena's daughter Sophia married; two months later, in April, their son Philip married and joined his brother George in Papillion Nebraska. Magdalena, with two young sons to raise, appears to have gone to work as a governess in Clay Township. The 1860 U. S. Census shows her living in Clay Township with Michael, age 12, and Louis, age 7. At age 50, her occupation was governess. Her real estate was valued at $1300.00 and her personal property at $75.00. In 1867, according to another land record, Magdalena appears to have sold the balance of the Zwiebel property in Clay Township. The record filed on the 8th of October shows Magdalena Zwiebel, wife of Michael Zwiebel, received from Christian Elsass the sum of $400.00 for eighty plus acres bordering on Pusheta Creek. Sometime between the sale of the property in Clay Township and 1870, Magdalena moved to her sons home in Port Jefferson. The 1870 U. S. Census taken on August 2nd shows Magdalena enumerated with Michael, his wife Sophia, and one son, Lewis. Before the census taker could reach Pusheta Township on the 24th of that same month, Magdalena had moved in with her daughter Sophia, her husband, and five children. The same census shows her oldest daughter living on the next farm with her second husband and seven children. Her age is shown as 60, and she was still working as a domestic servant. Magdalena apparently remained with Sophia until her death in 1894, as she was enumerated there in the 1880 Census. Auglaize County death records show she passed away in Pusheta on the 24th of August 1894 at the age of 84 years 6 months and 10 days. Her body was laid to rest in St. Marks Cemetery, where her husband was buried,thus bringing to a close the eventful journey that started across the Atlantic some 44 years previous.
