Narrative:

John H. Eischeid was born on 8 Jan 1872 in Waterloo, Black Hawk Co., IowaG.4,5,6 He appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Waterloo, Black Hawk Co., Iowa, G in the household of his parents, John Eischeid and Margaret Haas.12 He appeared on the 1885 State Census of Vine St., Waterloo, Black Hawk Co., IowaG, in the household of his parents.13
     In the 1880 census John was identified as an "idiot," which was defined as "a person the development of whose mental facilities was arrested in infancy or childhood before coming to maturity." In his case the cause was recorded as sickness that occurred at age one. Whatever the issue at that age he clearly went on to have a family and a successful career.14

Moving to ShenandoahG --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     John moved to ShenandoahG by 1893.
     John married Elenora Shurtz, daughter of Frederick J. Shurtz and Sarah Elizabeth Riegel, on 20 Oct 1897 in Page Co., IowaG.7,8,9
     John and Elenora appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa G, enumerated 4 Jun 1900, reporting that they owned their home, free of mortgage. Their son Mark was listed as living with them.2
     John and Elenora appeared on the 1905 State Census of 312 Valley Ave., Shenandoah, Page Co., IowaG, reporting their home was valued at $1,500. Their son Mark was listed as living with them.15,16,17
     John and Elenora appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa, at 312 Lowell Ave. G, enumerated 12 May 1910, reporting that they owned their home, free of mortgage. Their children Mark and Sarah were listed as living with them.18
     John and Elenora appeared on the 1915 State Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa G, presumably in the same household, although this census does not identify who was living together. He reported that he owned a home valued at $4,000. Their children Mark and Sarah were listed as living with them.19,20,21,22
     John and Elenora appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa, at 512 Elm St. G, enumerated 7 Jan 1920, reporting that they owned their home, free of mortgage. Their children Mark and Sarah were listed as living with them.23
     His wife died on 20 Dec 1922 in Grant, Montgomery Co., IowaG.24,25
     John appeared on the 1925 State Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa, at 706 7th Ave. G, reporting that he owned a home valued at $7,500, and carried $5,500 in insurance on it. His children Mark and Sarah were listed as living with him, as was Harry T. Shurtz, brother of his late wife, and Emma Medbergel, a housekeeper.26
     John appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa, at 706 7th Ave. G, enumerated 10 Apr 1930, reporting that he owned a home valued at $7,500 and owned a radio. His children Mark and Sarah were listed as living with him, as was his late wife's brother, Harry T. Shurtz.27
     John reported his church affiliation as Catholic.20,26

A Substantial Career Path --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     He began working for the Omaha & St. Louis Railroad in Shenandoah, IowaG, in 1893, working there as a telegraph operator and as an agent.28,29
      In 1902 he became an express agent for Pacific Express Company, maintaining that role until 1905. At the same time he was working as a clerk for Economy Hog & Cattle Powder Company. In 1907 he acquired a financial interest in that company, and was made vice president and secretary of the company. In the 1915 census he reported having earned $2,160 the prior year.28,30,31,32 He was also the president of Iowa Wagon Company and a stockholder in the Commercial National Bank by 1909.28
     In the 1920 census his occupation was shown as "none." Apparently he had left his position with the stock feed company, and was focusing on his investments. He was known to lend money to people, secured by property, and acquired a number of properties when the borrowers were unable to repay their loans.33,34 However, on 10 Jul 1923, John was the secretary and an incorporator of two companies whose articles of incorporation were filed in Des MoinesG. Both two companies intended to publish stock journals. They were Swine World Publishing Co., intending to devote attention to Poland China hogs, and Duroc Publishing, each capitalized at $35,000.35
     Strangely, in the 1925 census, his occupation was indicated by checking the box for "laborer unclassified" after the box for "professional services" was checked and crossed out. The meaning of this is unclear. By the 1930 he had returned to the Economy Hog & Cattle Powder Co. as traffic manager but no longer listed as an officer of the company.36,37,38
     John died on 4 Jun 1939 in Shenandoah, Page Co., IowaG, at age 67.10 He was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Shenandoah, Page Co., IowaG.11

Narrative:

John Eischeid was born on 9 Jun 1833 in Oberwennerscheid, Rhein-Sieg-Kreis, Königreich PreußenG.4,5,6
     John married Margaret Haas on 26 Sep 1868 in Neunkirchen, Königreich PreußenG, followed by a marriage in the Catholic Church of Neunkirchen three days later.7,8,9
     John and Margaret Haas applied for permission to emigrate with their infant son Henry, reporting that they were taking 800 Taler (a silver coin containing about 40% more silver than the U.S. silver dollar) from Siegkreis, Nordrhein-WestfalenG, on 23 Aug 1869.13 They arrived in Baltimore, MarylandG, on 11 Oct 1869, aboard the S. S. Baltimore having departed Bremen, traveling in steerage class.14,15
     John and Margaret appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Eagle Twp., Black Hawk Co., IowaG, enumerated 20 Aug 1870, living with Harry Feldood and his wife Catherine, who according so un-sourced online trees was his sister. John reported real estate valued at $1,600 and personal estate of $150. Their children Henry and Peter were listed as living with them.16
     John and Margaret appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Waterloo, Black Hawk Co., Iowa G, enumerated 21 Jun 1880. Their children Henry, John, William, Mary, Frances, and Margaret were listed as living with them.3
     John and Margaret appeared on the 1885 State Census of Waterloo, Black Hawk Co., Iowa, at Vine St. G. Their children Henry, John, William, Mary, Frances, Margaret, and Catherine were listed as living with them.17
     John identified himself as a farmer when he immigrated, and in the 1870 census.18,16 A 1909 local history, in a sketch about his son John tells us that his father "later engaged in merchandising" in WaterlooG until 1886. However his would appear to be an example of such publications' practice of embellishing family histories in order to increase sales, as John reported his occupation as laborer in the 1880 and 1885 censuses.19,3,20
     John and Margaret moved to Clyde, Nodaway Co., MissouriG, in 1886.19 There, the same suspect source tells us, he was engaged in the hardware and implement business until his death.19
     John died on 23 Jun 1890 at age 57.10,11 He was buried in Saint Columba Cemetery, Conception, Nodaway Co., MissouriG.12

Narrative:

Mark Eischeid was born on 6 Jan 1900 in IowaG.4,5,6 He appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa, G in the household of his parents, John H. Eischeid and Elenora Shurtz.2 He appeared on the 1905 State Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa, in the household of his parents.12,13,3 He appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa G, in the household of his parents.14 He appeared on the 1915 State Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., IowaG, apparently in the household of his parents.15,16,17,18
     Mark registered for the draft for World War I on 12 Sep 1918, while living at 512 7th Ave., Shenandoah, Page Co., IowaG, reporting he was employed as a clerk by Economy Hog & Cattle Powder Co.19
     He appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa G, in the household of his parents.20 He appeared on the 1925 State Census of 706 7th Ave., Shenandoah, Page Co., IowaG, in the household of his father, at 706 7th Ave.21 He appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa G, in the household of his father, at 706 7th Ave.22
     Mark's father was disabled during the last years of his life and Mark provided care for him. As a result he declined to marry while his father was still living, but he was married a few months after his father's death in Jun 1939.23
     Mark married Gertrude Thelma Broyles, daughter of David H. Broyles and Bessie Louise Rice, on 23 Aug 1939.7,8,9
     Mark and Gertrude appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa, at 706 7th Ave. G, enumerated 15 Apr 1940, reporting that they owned a home valued at $5,000, that he had lived in the same house in 1935, and she had lived in the same county.24
     Mark was named an heir in the will of Harry T. Shurtz, his mother's brother, who died 15 Sep 1941, under which a trust was established to contain all of the estate and Mark was to be trustee. Income from the trust was to pay $50 per month to the widow, and the remainder to be paid equally to him and his sister Sarah. At the death of the widow Mark and his sister were each to receive one third of the estate, with the remaining third to go to the widow's two daughters. However she elected instead to received instead the one-third widow's share of the estate and forgo the income offered.25 Disputes over adjusting for the reduced size of the trust resulted in litigation with the two step-daughters which ended up in the state Supreme Court, which finally decided the case 18 Oct 1949.25
     A separate case arose around the treatment of certain expenditures by Mark as the trustee. He said they should be charged to the principal of the trust, thus reducing the amounts ultimately distributed to all, while the step-daughters claimed they should be charged to income, reducing the payments to Mark and his sister during the life of the trust. This case also reached the state Supreme Court, which decided it 6 Mar 1951, agreeing with him on some expenditures and not on others.26
     Mark was bookkeeper for a stock powder company until 1930, then held a similar position with Shenandoah Hatchery, owned by his uncle Harry T. Shurtz.27,28,29
     Mark and Gertrude lived in Omaha, Nebraska, at 4902 Capital Ave., in 1941 while he attended Creighton University. He took classes there in bookkeeping and accounting.30,31,32
     After their return to ShenandoahG Mark worked as a bookkeeper or accountant for a number of local firms.23 He worked for a time as chief clerk for the west Page Co. rationing office. In Nov 1943 he resigned along with two of his clerks, requiring the office to close for two days while someone from Omaha traveled there to take charge. The reason for the sudden resignations has not been learned.33,34
     He returned to accounting by 1950, when he was working for a retail seed and nursery, reporting in the 1950 census he had worked 40 hours the prior week.35
     Mark and Gertrude appeared on the 1950 Federal Census of Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa, at 706 Seventh Ave. G, enumerated 7 Apr 1950, reporting they lived in a home that was not on a farm. Their two eldest children were listed as living with them.36
     Mark died on 3 Jul 1957 in Shenandoah, Page Co., IowaG, at age 57.10 He was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Shenandoah, Page Co., IowaG.11
