Funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon for Mrs. Anna Schneider, long time resident of this community, who died at her home on Wednesday evening. The Rev. R. L. Greene officiated at the rites, which were held at the Methodist church at two o’clock. Burial took place in Woodlawn cemetery with, Messrs. Russell Putman, Paul Pierret, John H. Birr, Emmett Johnson, John Meyer and Wilton Johnson carrying the casket.

Mrs. Schneider was born Anna Wellnitz at Lomira on Feb. 3, 1874 and moved to Oconto County with her parents as a child. Her marriage to Jacob Schneider took place on the 18th of April, 1894, and after living in Morgan for a few years moved to Oconto Falls, which has been her home ever since. Mr. Schneider, who was employed by the Water and Power Plant passed away in March of 1913.

Survivors include three daughters, Anna and Dora at home, Katie, Mrs. Paul Wilke of Cedar Grove, and a son Fred of Green Bay; two grandchildren, Kenneth and Mona Mae Schneider, two sisters, Mrs. Carrie Kammerman, of Cecil and Mrs. Emma Schneider of Colby and a brother, John Wellnitz of Mo???.

Mrs. Schneider was a faithful member of the Methodist church, and active in Women’s Society of Christian Service. She was a long time member of the Royal Neighbor Lodge and as she exemplified the principles of these organizations in her life, she will be greatly missed.

Sincere sympathy is extended to her family in the loss of a good mother.
