    Leopold Schoenling. Leopold Schoenling is a well-known factor in the
business circles in Hamilton county, especially in Harrison, Ohio, and
surrounding country, and is one of the best known real estate men in that
portion of the county. His business record is one which will bear the closest
investigation and scrutiny, for his methods have ever been honorable and
straightforward, and his connection with the real estate and mercantile
interests has been characterized by untiring diligence and strong purpose. Mr.
Schoenling was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, August 30, 1866, a son of Peter and
Rosena (Frie) Schoenling. Both father and mother were natives of Germany and
came to this country in 1851. They located in Cincinnati, where Mr. Peter
Schoenling engaged in the rope making business. Later he engaged in the charcoal
business, and after continuing at this some time, engaged in the mercantile
business. In 1880, he moved to a farm in Morgan township, Butler county, Ohio,
where he continued in the agricultural business until his death, which occurred
in 1902. Two years later Mrs. Schoenling died and both are buried in the Glen
Haven cemetery at Harrison, Ohio. Mr. Schoenling was a Republican in politics,
but never cared to hold office. In religious affiliations he was a member of the
German Lutheran church, and both he and Mrs. Schoenling were active in its
affairs. Fraternally, he was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
and was one of its most valued members. To Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schoenling were
born seven children, Christian, Peter P., Carrie, John H., Charles G., Edward
H., whose biography appears upon other pages of these volumes, and our subject.
Leopold Schoenling received his education in the public schools of Cincinnati,
and after completing his studies, went with his father to his farm in Butler
county, Ohio. Here he continued to help his father until he went in business for
himself, purchasing a farm in Morgan township, Butler county. This he sold in
1913, and went into the real estate business, which he continues at the present
time. In 1918, he became a member of the Tebbs Mercantile Company, of which he
is president. Mr. Schoenling is very popular in fraternal circles, being a
member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the various Masonic bodies.
In religion, he is a member of the Christian church, and is assistant
superintendent, and teacher of its Sunday school. Politically, he is a
Republican, but never cared to accept office. On the 25th day of November, 1892,
Mr. Schoenling married Miss Margaret Ellen Livingston, a daughter of John and
Emeline (Biddinger) Livingston, of Harrison, Ohio. In closing, it may be said
that Mr. Schoenling's integrity and worth, are above question, and while he
occupies an honorable and creditable position in the business world, he and his
wife occupy an enviable place in the social life of the community.
