HON. HENRY C. SCHROEDER.
MR. SPEAKER—Your committee appointed to prepare suitable resolutions respecting the life, character and public services of the Hon. Henry C. Schroeder, late member of the House of Representatives of the Thirty-second and Thirty-third General Assemblies of Iowa, beg leave to report the following memorial:
Hon. Henry C. Schroeder was born October 5, 1854, in Germany, and died at his home in Schleswig, Crawford County, Iowa, July 13, 1911. He attended school in Germany until fifteen years of age, whence he emigrated to this country in 1870, and was engaged in farming in Illinois until 1878, attending school and private (evening) school. In 1878 he moved to Crawford County, Iowa, where on January 27, 1882, he was married to Miss Minnie Zabel, to which union three children were born, respectively, Hulda Schroeder Reinking, Clare Schroeder Jessen and H. H. Schroeder. He was identified with the Democratic party and was active in the council of same. In the fall of 1896 he was elected Township Clerk and re-elected in 1898. In 1900 he was elected a member of the Board of Supervisors, serving his people faithfully for six years, and in 1906 he was elected Representative and re-elected in 1908, where he served the people of his county and state in a faithful and capable manner, which has reflected credit to himself and those whom he was called upon to represent. Mr. Schroeder was a man who was loved and respected by all who knew him and his life, character and public services were such as to command respect and admiration from all who knew him. Therefore be it
Resolved, That in his death the county and state has lost a citizen of worth, and whose influence has done much. Be it further
Resolved, That we extend to his family and friends our sincere sympathy, and that a copy of these resolutions be entered upon the Journal of the House, and a copy of the same be forwarded to the bereaved family of the deceased.
