The Evening Journal April 28, 1906
  Philip Shrader, one of the pioneers of Washington county, died this morning 
at a few minutes after 3 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. D. 
Hesseltine, southeast of the city. Mr. Shrader had been ill but a very short 
time, and the end came quickly. The cause of his death was general wearing 
out, together with a complication of kidney and bowel trouble.
  Mr. Shrader was born in Butler county, Pa., July 16, 1819. He lived there 
until he was eighteen years of age when taking all his possessions wrapped in 
a handkerchief, he went to Pittsburg, where he apprenticed himself to a 
carpenter for three years. When he had learned his trade he went from 
Pittsburg to Wheeling, W.Va., from there to St. Louis, back again to Wheeling, 
and then came west to Rock Island, where he worked for a year before coming 
here. He arrived in Washington fifty-two years ago and has since lived in this 
town and vicinity. Mr. Shrader was the early contractor of Washington. He came 
here about the same time as Norman Everson, and these two mean were always 
closely associated in business affairs. Mr. Shrader built most of the older 
buildings of this city, the Academy, the Hotel Colenso building, the Masonic 
Temple and many others. At that time the carpenter had notheing to work with 
other than what he had made himself, and Mr. Shrader often told of how he had 
even to make the window sashes for the buildings which he built.
  Mr. Shrader was married at Allegheny, Pa., August 31, 1946 to Louisa A. 
Logan. Mrs. Shrader died in October, 1897. Nine children were born to them. 
Two little girls died in early childhood, one son, Andrew, was killed on the 
railroad, and John died about four years ago. Those who are living are Mrs. 
Lizzie Murphy, of Butler county, Pa; Mrs. Sadie Rawhouser, of Columbus City; 
James. S. and Harry Shrader, of this city, and Mrs. Ida Hesseltine, at whose 
home his death occurred. Mr. Shrader was one of a family twelve children, of 
whom all are dead excepting one brother and two sisters. In early years Mr. 
Shrader was a member of the I.O.O.F., and also of the Presbyterian church, but 
since living here, while he was a regular attendant at all the church 
services, he had never been identified with the local church. 
  The funeral service will be held tomorrow, Sabbath, afternoon at 2 o'clock 
at the home of Mrs. W.D. Hesseltine, five miles southeast of the city, 
conducted by Rev. L.D. Young. The interment will be in the city cemetery.
