Ionia Standard - Fri. March 30, 1917

Venerable Patron Saint of His Community Passes To His Reward.

Martin Schnabel, one of the oldest residents of Berlin township, died quite 
unexpectedly Sunday morning at 4:00 o'clock, at the farm home where he had 
lived for almost sixty years. He was 90 years old last August. Death is 
attributed to senile debility, but was totally unexpected. He had been outdoors 
helping with some of the lighter work the day before.

Mrs. Schnabel died in April, 1915, and it was in 1911 that they celebrated 
their sixtieth wedding anniversary. They were married in Germany and came to 
this country in July, 1857. Six children are left: Mrs. John McKernan of 
Postville, Iowa; Mrs. Jos. Sarlouis of Berlin township; Peter Schnabel of 
Odessa, who is  now visiting in Los Angeles, Cal.; Levi Schnabel of Millbank, 
S. Dak.;Thomas Schnabel, who was making his home with his father; and Robert 
Schnabel, also of Berlin township. There are eight grandchildren, and seven 
great-grandchildren, left to mourn the passing of the faithful and loveable 
grandfather.
