The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Saturday, October 7, 1933
Louis Steinhauer died at his home on West Main street Friday evening at 6 
o’clock following a long illness.  A German by birth, Mr. Steinhauer gave to 
the country of his adoption a son, Edward, who died on his way overseas where 
he was going in defense of this country against that of his father’s 
nativity.  Edward had spent nine months training in a Georgia camp but was 
taken ill and died on the boat, and was buried at sea.

Mr. Steinhauer was born in Germany 85 years ago and came to the United States 
with his wife and one son 53 years ago.  The child died shortly after their 
arrival here.  They came almost immediately to Ionia and he had lived here 
since.  He was a shoemaker by trade, and after his arrival here he did custom 
work, maintaining a shop for years on Main street next to the Douglas shoe 
store.  After manufacturing concerns with their mass production encroached on 
his business he began shoe cobbling.

His first wife died in 1903 and he later married Mrs. Bertha Nims, who 
survives him.  He also leaves two sons, Fred and Homer, of Detroit, and a 
daughter, Mrs. Charles Schelen, of Burlington, Ia.  Another daughter, Mrs. 
Hulda Stadlandel, died in Burlington, Ia. about a year ago.  Thirteen 
grandchildren also survive.

He was affiliated with the Evangelical church.  Funeral services will be 
conducted Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Boynton funeral chapel.  Those 
wishing to view the remains may do so at the chapel any time before the 
services.  Burial will be in the Oak Hill cemetery.  Rev. A. L. Bingaman will 
have charge of the service.
