History |
George Henry Schneider (1896-1979) and Ottilia (Tillie) Schneider (1900-1966) were the youngest children of Anthony Schneider (1856-1937) and Magdalena Haller (1861-?) of Kitchener, ON. George enlisted with the 118th Battalion on March 21, 1916. The postcards sent home to his family indicate that George received several promotions and became a part of the 10th Battalion. He survived the war and returned home to Kitchener, ON. George married Eleanora Fischer (1900-1986) on December 29, 1921. On their marriage certificate, George is listed as a carpenter and Eleanora is listed as a rubber worker. Together they had six children - Barbara, Mary, Rita, David, Elizabeth, and Eileen. Tillie Schneider married Henry John Haus (1900-1974) from Louisville, Kentucky on April 20, 1920. On their marriage certificate Henry is listed as a tire finisher, and presumably worked at Dominion Tire. They lived in Waterloo Township. |
