Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)
FOLLOWUP
Both of John's parents were born in Germany. [census-us-1910-ps-sd-davison-135-6b]
John's father may have been Joseph Nick Shoenfelder, born 10 Sep 1826 in Schurgast, Kreis Falkenberg, Preußen, and died 21 Nov 1910 in Parkston, Hutchinson County, SD. His mother may have been Louise Jackish, born 14 Feb 1833, and died 9 Apr 1915 in Parkston. Joseph may have married Louise in 1853 in Germany.
Find A Grave has a gravestone image for Joseph Nick Schoenfelder, Sr. (memorial #13608808) and Louise (Jackish) Shoenfelder (memorial #13608815) in Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Cemetery, Dimock, Hutchinson County, South Dakota.
His paternal grandparents may have been Joseph Schoenfelder and Susan Kojak, both born about 1805 in Germany.
John may have been born in Schurgast, Kreis Falkenberg, Preußen, Germany.
Is his middle initial H short for Henry? That is, is he a "Senior" to his son John's "Junior"?
John and Theresia may have married in Mitchell, South Dakota.
The family of Joseph Schoenfelder (45) and his wife Mary, can be found two dwellings away from John and Theresia Schoenfelder in the 1910 US Census. Were they brothers? [census-us-1910-ps-sd-davison-135-6b]
John may have been active in local politics in Mitchell, South Dakota, and there are several pieces in The Mitchell Capital that include a John Schoenfelder in relation to political roles or office in the late 1890s and early 1900s.
