They landed at New Orleans and thence made their way up the river to Davenport. Soon afterward they went to Moline, Illinois where they remained for two months after which Mr. Schneckloth purchased eighty acres of partially improved land in Scott county, and took up his abode thereon. Thomas Schneckloth began his education in the schools of Holstein, Germany and continued his studies after he came to this county with his parents. In the summer months he worked in the fields and throughout his life carried on general farming. He remained upon the old homestead until his death which occurred June 9, 1901. In the meantime he had added to the boundaries of the original farm by the purchase of an adjoining tract of land of forty acres. He made all of the improvements upon the place added substantial buildings for the shelter of grain and stock fenced his fields brought his land under a high state of cultivation and utilized modern machinery in planting caring for and harvesting the crops. He carried on general farming and was also a stockholder in the Farmers Creamery Company of Eldridge. His study of the political issues and questions of the day led him to give earnest support to the republican party and his interest in the cause of education prompted his efficient service as school director for many years. After a lingering illness which carried into despondency, Thomas Schneckloth, shot himself. (History of Davenport and Scott County Iowa: Illustrated, Volume 2 By Harry E. Downer)
