JOHN H. SCHOLL, 82, MAQUOKETA’S OLDEST BUSINESSMAN, DIES

John H. Scholl, 82, a resident of Maquoketa for many years, passed away at 4 
o’clock Monday morning, at his home on South Vermont Street, after an illness 
of several weeks. Mr. Scholl had been in his usual good health and continued 
to be at his place of business daily until stricken a few weeks ago.
John Henry Scholl, son of James D. and Barbara (Weasner) Scholl, was born 
August 17, 1851, in Berks County, Pennsylvania, and when a small boy came with 
his parents to Iowa. Most of his life had been spent in Maquoketa, with the 
exception of four years residence in Oklahoma. On January 2, 1872, he was 
married to Hannah Reiter at Maquoketa and this union was blessed with three 
children. Early in life Mr. Scholl had learned the shoemaker trade and for 71 
years he continued in this work, and late years had been assisted by his son 
Albert.
His years of labor brought success, but still he was not satisfied to retire, 
but continued to remain at his place of business on North Main Street, where 
he had been located for many years, serving his patrons as of yore, until 
stricken with his last illness.
He is survived by his widow and three children, Mrs. A. H. Moravec of Fulton, 
Mrs. George B. Weeman of Chicago and Albert Scholl of Maquoketa, also several 
grandchildren. He was the last of his family, one brother, James Scholl died a 
few years ago and Mrs. Scott Brady died May 11, 1934. Mr. Scholl had been a 
member of the I. O. O. F. and of the Modern Woodmen lodges for many years and 
was active in the work of these orders.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2:30 o’clock at Harrison’s Funeral 
Home, Rev. H. Dill of the Methodist Church and Rev. C. Edward Holyoke of the 
Reformed Church in charge of the services. Burial will be in Mt. Hope
