        JOHN SCHUBACH is one of the technical graduates of Ohio State
University School of Agriculture, where the practical experience gained on
his father's farm and in the trade of cheese making was reinforced by
theoretical and practiced courses in dairying. For twenty years since
leaving the university Mr. Schubach has been a prominent factor in the
growth and development of one of the largest milk distributing concerns in
Northern Ohio, the Sanitary Milk Company at Canton, of which he is
secretary, treasurer and general manager.
        Mr. Schubach was born in Jefferson Township, Tuscarawas County,
Ohio, January 30, 1877. His parents, Joseph and Mary (Welty) Schubach, were
born in Switzerland. Joseph Schubach as a youth served an apprenticeship at
the trades of cooper and cheese maker, and at the age of twenty-two came to
the United States. He followed his trade as a cheese maker for a number of
years, and later settled on a farm in Tuscarawas County, where he lived
until his death, May 11, 1899. He and his wife were active members of the
Reformed Church.
        John Schubach grew up on the home farm, was educated in public
schools, in the Normal School at New Philadelphia, and as a boy learned
cheese making from his father. He worked as a farmer until he was
twenty-two years of age, when he entered Ohio state University, in the
dairying department, and took the full scientific course of two years,
graduating in 1903.
        As a young man of demonstrated technical qualifications he came to
Canton, in September, 1903, to act as superintendent of the Sanitary Milk
Company, a business that had been established in 1901. At that time its
distributing facilities were limited to five milk wagons and one ice cream
wagon. Since then the business has steadily grown until it requires a score
or more of delivery vehicles. The business was reorganized in 1912, at
which time Mr. Schubach became the chief stockholder and was made
secretary, treasurer and general manager. He is also director of the
Supreme Dairy Company at Alliance, and is president of the B.L. Romar
Manufacturing Company. He is a director of the Canton Bank and Trust
Company, and has also accepted some important responsibilities in the civic
affairs of his community.
        He is a member of the Kiwanis Club, is a member of the Canton Young
Men's Christian Association, is a Mason, Knight of Pythias and an Elk. He
served as a member of the first board of park commissioners of Canton, and
is a member of the First Reformed Church.
        Mr. Schubach married Miss Pearl M. Catcott. She was also born in
Tuscarawas County, daughter of James Catcott. Their children are: Hellen,
born in 1904; Catherine, born in 1905; Joseph, born in 1910; John Robert,
born in 1913; and Stella, born in 1915.
