Altoona Mirror, May 13, 1924, p. 1, J.A. SCHWAB DIES AT LORETTO HOME – Venerable Father of Steel Magnate, After a Short Illness, Succumbs to Stroke of Paralysis. – WAS PRESIDENT OF WILLIAMSBURG BANK – During Long Life Was Variously Engaged as Manufacturer, Liveryman, and Banker. – John A. Schwab, the venerable father of Charles M. Schwab, died this morning at 10 o'clock at his home in LORETTO, Cambria county, death following a few weeks' illness caused by paralysis and complications incident to advanced age.
Mr. Schwab was a native of Cambria county, but early in life became a resident of Clover Creek, near WILLIAMSBURG, where he conducted a woolen factory in conjunction with his father for a time and later operated it by himself.
He then moved to WILLIAMSBURG and went into business, conducting a store there for a number of years, when he disposed of the business and moved back to LORETTO, Cambria county, where he went into the livery business and from where he operated stage coaches and carried mail between Johnstown and a number of mountain towns. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schwab and was born Aug 11, 1839. While he was a resident of WILLIAMSBURG, he acquired business relations which he never relinquished, being at the time of his death president of the First National bank there.
Married in 1861. John A. Schwab and Miss Pauline Farabaugh were united in marriage on April 23, 1861, in a chapel built at LORETTO in the early 30's by Prince D.A. Gallitzin, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Father Terrence S. Reynolds. Mr. Schwab was one of the few remaining people who were baptized by Prince Gallitzin, who died in LORETTO on May [6], 1840.
To this union were born eight children, four of whom preceded this father in death. The surviving members of the family are Charles M. Schwab of LORETTO and New York, Edward H. Schwab of Bethlehem, Gertrude, wife of David Barry of Johnstown, and Mary Schwab, known as Sister Cecelia of the Sisters of Charity, Seton Hill, Greensburg.
Up until his recent illness, Mr. Schwab enjoyed remarkable health for one of his age and divided his time between his home in LORETTO and his business interests which included the presidency of the First National Bank in WILLIAMSBURG and president of the Grange National Bank at Patton and the First National Bank at Cresson.
Loved His Home and Church. Mr. Schwab was of a rather quiet and unassuming disposition. He preferred the quiet of his home and his greatest pleasure was in having as his guests his sons and daughters and his grandchildren, and he was devoted to his church and gave it his support, liberally, and always took a keen interest in educational affairs and especially in St. Francis college and seminary, which he could see from his home on the opposite side of town.
He was a member of St. Michael's Catholic church where the funeral will be conducted on Thursday morning at [9] o'clock, with a solemn high mass of requiem. Interment will be made in the cemetery adjoining the church where he worshipped for so many years.
