  • Notes 
    • "Mary Kunigunda Fisher was born in Berlin [Bavaria], Germany, on March 25th, 1840, the daughter of Margaret and Mathias Fisher. At seven years of age, she came with her parents to Canada. She was married to John Schneider at Karlsruhe, Canada, on June 15th, 1862. To this union ten children were born. These living are: Mary, Rosa, Adam, Lena, Philip, Frank and George. In October 1879 she moved with her family to the United States coming direct to Browerville and settling on a farm about three miles west of here where she lived until the time of her death. On February 16, 1918, she was taken suddenly with a paralytic stroke and hemorrhage of the brain and four days later passed quietly away. Funeral services were held from the St. Peter's Catholic Church on Saturday morning, February 24, at nine o'clock, and interment was made in the German Catholic Cemetery. Grandma Schneider, as she was generally known, was at the time of her death 77 years, 10 months, and 25 days of age. She was a good Christian wife, the mother of ten children, grandmother of twenty-eight children, and great-grandmother of eight children. She was a member of the Roman Catholic church and belonged to the Christian Mother's Society. Her death was the quiet and peaceful passing away of an aged woman, who went happily to meet her Maker, firm in the belief of a just and good reward."
