OBITUARY
SCHUSTER
John William Schuster, Son of John G. and Magdalena Schuster
was born at Warsaw, Illinois, March 2d, 1856.
Died at his late and permanent home east of Wyaconda, Missouri, May 1st,
1926. He was 70 years, 1 month and 29
days old. His death was timely and
apprehended for some time, but the end came suddenly and peacefully.
He was the son of pioneers. His parents
were numbered among the first settlers of this vicinity, locating here in the
spring of 1865. Mr. Schuster was a
native son of Illinois, accompanying and settling with his parents in Clark
County, in the neighborhood contiguous to the late residence of his death.
Mr. Schuster was united in matrimony to Miss Joanna Blizzard November 21,
1880. His wife, Mrs. Joanna Schuster,
preceded him in death June 1901. To this
union were born three children: Miss Grace B. Schuster and Mrs. Ethel May
Barber, both of Wyaconda, Missouri, and George William Schuster of the Cama community.
There are numbered among his near relatives one sister, four brothers and four
grandchildren.
The deceased was a man of find character, possessing a fine spirited personality,
influential and highly respected in the community in which he has long resided.
He was a member of the Carmel Methodist church.
His conversion and admission to the membership of the church was under
the minister of Rev. Matt Sexsmith January 1889. He revered, loved
and served his Lord and Master, and maintained an undiminished faith, clarity
of noble purpose and certitude of Christian grace and experience unto the
end. He possessed a character worthy of
honorable mention on this occasion, and the community has lost one of its
finest citizens in the passing of Mr. Schuster.
May we not pass to his dependents and friends and
neighbor his express wish: his fatherly benediction; his brotherly comity and
cordial words of fellowship to those whose presence here today would perpetuate
a listing memoir to this good man, this loving father, and faithful friend and
brother.
