comments
The 1904 Inscriptions from the Old Village Cemetery state, "Schneider, Arthur, d. Nov. 9, 1897, ae 16." Arthur was born 2 December 1880. His obituary was in the 12 November 1897 edition of the Berea Advertiser. It reads: “Arthur Lewis Schneider, son of Mrs. P. F. Schneider, was born Dec. 2, 1880 in Berea, O., and died on Tuesday morning, Nov. 9, 1897 at the family home on Bagley road, of typhoid fever. After a hard struggle with disease he was at last compelled to surrender his young and very promising life. The best medical assistance, the loving and tender care and solicitude of friends, coupled with his own strong will power, prolonged his life through six weeks of painful suffering but brought no permanent relief. He bore his sufferings patiently until the last, and through all his sickness he exemplified the spirit of a true and devoted Christian, and his death was happy and peaceful. Surrounded by his mother, only sister Estella, and a few other relatives, his angelic soul took its flight to ‘The beautiful land on high.’ The death of one so bright and promising is a great shock to the community in general, and a severe blow to his family, who have the sympathy of all who know them. Arthur was a senior in the high school, and had his life been spared, would have graduated next June with high honors. He was a general favorite among his schoolmates and teachers; and the senior class loses one of its foremost members. He was popular among all his acquaintances in the village, and his death is deeply deplored among the young people. The funeral services occur this morning at the German M. E. church.” Arthur was 17 at the time of his death. His remains were exhumed and moved to Woodvale. The Cuyahoga County Cemetery Inscriptions states, "Arthur L. Schneider, died Nov. 9, 189?7 age 16."
