Description	:	Mathias Schneider, president of the Seneca Savings Bank, is one man whose natural handicaps were not strong; enough to overpower his strong ambition, and the fact that he was born in a foreign land and of poor parents has not prevented him from occupying one of the most responsible places in the business affairs of Nemaha county.

Mathias Schneider was born August 21, 1839, in Prussia, German Empire, and was a son of Peter and Anna Maria (Meier) Schneider. The father, Peter Schneider, was born in Prussia, in Jan 1799, and grew up to follow the occupation of farming. Leaving his native land in 1845, he sailed for America, and upon his arrival here, came to Milwaukee, Wis. He bought a farm near that place, in Waukesha county, and conducted it until his death in 1903. The mother of Mathias Schneider was born in Prussia, in 1799. and died in 1907. Both were members of the Catholic church. They were the parents of five children: Adolph, deceased; Anton, deceased; Mrs. Margaret Wright, deceased; Anna Maria (Wright), deceased, and Mathias. Mathias Schneider left Germany with parents, and after coming to America, he remained with them until he was twenty-nine years of age. He then went to Salem, Neb., where he bought 340 acres of fine farming land. He sold this land in 1880, and bought eighty acres near St. Benedict, Richmond township, Nemaha county, Kansas. In 1892, he sold this land in order to buy the place which he now owns, which comprises 640 acres of the best land in the township, east of Seneca. Mr. Schneider has been an excellent manager, and from the successful operation of his farm he has accumulated a considerable fortune. His general reputation for shrewd and conservative business methods led to his election as president of the Seneca Savings Bank when it was organized. His career was so conspicuously successful as to make him the most available man for the place, and consequently he was chosen as the first president of the organization, whose duty it was to start the bank out on its career. He is also a shareholder in the corporation and invested a considerable sum in the project. The success of this institution is testimony to the ability of Mr. Schneider and justifies the confidence which his fellow citizens placed in him. He was married in 1865 to Elizabeth Birkhauser, who was born May 23, 1842, in Germany, and left there with her parents and came to Wisconsin while she was a young girl. She died in 1879, having been the mother of eight children, whose names are: Peter A.. Mitchell township; Anna A., married Henry Stallbaumer, now a widow living with her children; Jennie, wife of Henry Koelzer, living in Missouri: Elizabeth, now Mrs. Peter Joseph Koelzer, whose husband is a lumberman, of Seneca, Kans.; Gertrude, wife of Peter Smith, Seneca. Kans.; Karl M., Richmond township, farmer. Mr. Schneider is a Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus order. He is one of the foremost citizens of Seneca, and is influential in public affairs. History of Nemaha County, Kansas By Ralph Tennal submitted by FAG contributor, Laura L. #47617185
