Death Claims 1874 Immigrant At Steinbach
Steinbach, Man. — Frank H. Schroeder, 98, believed to be one of only two surviving immigrants to come here from Russia in 1874, died at the Rest Haven Home here on Sept. 22.
Mr. Schroeder was born in the Bergthal Colony in Russia in 1872 and came here with an immigrant family late in 1874. The first settlers, members of the Kleinegemeinde group, had arrived earlier in the year.
It is believed that the only remaining 1874 immigrant to the Steinbach district is Henry D. Penner, who will reach his 100th birthday on Jan. 1, 1972. He is now a resident of the Salem Home at Winkler, Man.
