• Notes

  [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 2, Ed. 1, Tree #5006, Date of Import: Apr 26, 1997] Excerpt from the 1942 Schneller Genealogy: Because of his studious mind he easily learned to speak the Indian language. He started his Christian Ministry in 1878. Forty-eight converts rewarded his first year's revival efforts at Batavia, Wis. He often preached four and five times on a Sunday. He was the last of our uncles to leave us. Excerpt from Alan Schneller "Story": John did not have the money to go away to school and was married. Three years after the marriage he felt a call to preach and had no rest until his wife consented to go along. He had a library of over a hundred books, kept in a large desk and bookcase crafted by his father, Hans.
