homestead. He was 84 years
old and had been in good health up
to Dec. 13.
Mr. Schroeder, in an interview
several years ago, said, "It gets
pretty tiresome sitting around all
day doing nothing after being active
for so many years, so I take
the ax and chop a little wood
around the place for amusement
and exercise."

Germany, Dec. 5, 1850 and came to
the United States with his parents
in 1855. They landed In New York
and the same year moved to Port
Washington. In 1856 the family
moved to the town of Rockland.
His father, Paul Schroeder, made
a clearing tn the woods and built
a little one room log shanty which served the family for five years
A new and larger log house was
then built, consisting of four
rooms.
Louis Schroeder took over the
farm in 1885. By that time public
roads had been constructed so
Louis built the present homestead
near the road. The farm In later
years has been operated by a son,
John.

married Roselina Strodthoff. Mrs.
Schroeder died in June, 1921.
