Herbert Schnur — Through what has been practically one line of effort although developed in several different positions and under the direction of a variety of employers, Herbert Schnur has risen to a position of great influence and responsibility in the business life of Joplin and the surrounding country, and has gained great esteem and popularity among the people of this section of our wonderful and highly progressive nation. He has shown traits of character, business methods and breadth of view exactly adapted to the time and locality in which he lives and labors, and both through his own efforts and his influence on others has been of considerable service to the city and county of his home and all their interests.
Mr. Schnur was born at Carthage in this county on March 20, 1870, and is a son of Peter and Adeline (Coffeen) Schnur, an account of whose interesting lives will be found in a sketch of Harry A. Schnur elsewhere in this volume. Herbert passed through the common, grammar and high school grades of the public schools, attending them until he was sixteen years old. Soon after leaving school he secured employment as bookkeeper for the Joplin Water Works Company, in whose service he remained three years. His succeeding engagements were with the Joplin Gas Company, and the Gore & Glover Insurance Company in a similar capacity, with each of which he was connected for a short period. He then passed five years as bookkeeper for the Oswego Mining Company, and at the end of that time he became an employe of the Rex Mining and Smelting Company, in which he has risen on demonstrated merit to his present position of superintendent and general manager. He began his service with this company as an office man, and during his connection of sixteen years with it has filled every position of importance between the humble station in which he started and the exalted and exacting one which he now occupies in the working force of the company, earning every promotion he has had and fully justifying the confidence of the directorate in advancing him at every step of his progress. He has been the superintendent and general manager of the companys business during the last four years, and is also one of its stockholders and directors. In addition to his stock in this company he has other mining interests and connection with outside business enterprises of magnitude.
Mr. Schnur has not however, busy as he has been in connection with the industrial activities of the community, given all his time and energy to business. He has taken an earnest interest and an active part in all matters involving the welfare of the people and exemplifying the highest character of their citizenship. He has been a member of the Joplin Rifles and the Joplin Zouaves, military organizations containing the flower of the city's and county's young manhood and reflecting great credit on their inhabitants. He is also a Freemason of the thirty-second degree and a member of the Order of Elks, and in both fraternities he has manifested his deep and serviceable interest, in the benevolent and social forces of his locality. He is also a member of the North Heights Tennis Club and the Joplin Athletic Club. In the last named organizations his love of outdoor sports, particularly tennis and fishing, finds expression and scope for action. It is his custom to make a fishing trip to the lakes every year.
On February 21, 1900,- Mr. Schnnr and Miss Clara Evans were united in marriage. Mrs. Schnur is a daughter of the late O. C. and Jessie (Lamb) Evans, old settlers in Joplin, where she was born on October 19, 1879. She and her husband have two children: Agnes Margaret, who was born on March 10, 1904, and Herbert, Jr., whose life began on July 20, 1906. Both were born in Joplin. The parents are now (1911) erecting a beautiful new home on East Fourteenth street in Campbell's addition to the city, which is one of its most attractive residence sections. The well known hospitality and social culture of its occupants will doubtless make this dwelling a very popular resort for the hosts of admiring friends who always find pleasure and profit in their company, and a readiness to aid in every worthy and commendable undertaking to augment the power, increase the resources or give direction to the energy of the intellectual, moral, social and religious agencies at work in the community.
Mr. Schnur follows the fortunes of the Republican party in political affairs but takes no part in the work of its campaigns, being too much occupied with his business and the other claims on his time and attention to be drawn into political contentions, and too free from political ambition to desire any office of any rank or degree for himself. He and his wife attend the Episcopal church and are highly appreciated factors in all its benevolent and improving activities.
