Ionia Standard, 14 Feb 1890

The funeral of John G. Scheurer, at the Evangelical Association church, at 2 
o’clock Saturday afternoon, was well attended by the long-time friends of 
deceased, whose home had been in Ionia for nearly forty years.  The services 
were conducted by Rev. C. C. Staffeld, pastor of the church.  Interment was in 
Oak Hill.

John George Scheurer was born in Bondorf, Wurtemburg, Germany, March 9, 1826.  
He was married in 1851, to Pauline Louise Walter, and in 1853, they came to 
America, settling first at Ann Arbor, where they remained three years, locating 
in Ionia in 1856.  His wife died in 1866, and in 1866 he was married to Louise 
Gastler.  By the first union there were seven children, five of whom are 
living, and by the second, three, two of whom survive.  The names of the living 
children are:  Louise, Fred, Mina, John, Emma (wife of J.W. Phillips, Lowell), 
Mary and Bertha.  The only other relative of deceased living in this county is 
Mrs. Frederick Stebb, of Ann Arbor, who with her husband, attended the funeral.

Deceased had once been an active man in business affairs, and enjoyed the 
confidence and respect of the community.  Of late years, he had been feeble, 
and had dropped out of the turmoil, but was known as a man of kindly impulses 
and social disposition, which gave him a strong hold upon many old-time friends.
