Bio
The Plainview News June 14, 1912 PIONEER RESIDENT OF COUNTY Leaves Large Family to Mourn Death of Loving Mother Mrs. Christian Schad who has boon ailing for several months, passed suddenly away on Friday morning, June 7, at 10:30, at the farm home two miles south of the village. Celia Ruff, was born at Corlina, Ills., September 29, 1851. Together with her father and an only sister she came to Minnesota in 1858, locating on a farm in the town of Glasgow. Her mother passed away when she was yet a child. She was married to Christian Schad in 1870, and to this union eleven children were born, the oldest two died infancy. After their marriage they took up their home on a farm in Highland, where they lived until 1897, when they purchased their present magnificent farm home two miles south of the village, and where they have since continued to reside. Mrs. Schad was truly a home woman, her love and effection were given to her home and children. A kind neighbor, an indulgent mother and a most helpful wife, devoting her life to those nearest and dearest to her. A woman whom the whole community held in high regard, none knowing her but to admire and respect her. Kind to all, yet it was her special pleasure to lend aid where most needed, and many a neighbor and friend will carry kind remembrance of her for the acts of pure kindness. She was a faithful member of the St. Joachim's catholic church and was a faithful christian woman. Though hard to part with loved ones, those left behind will find a true heritage in the noble life of this wife and mother. Beside the faithful husband she is survived by nine children, August of Elgin, Frank of Plainview, Sr. M. Athanasius of San Antonia, Texas, Mrs, L. G. Cook of Winona, Mrs. H. H. Bigelow of Elgin, Frances, Edward and Clare at home: an only sister, Mrs. John Schad of Gainesville, Texas, and seven grandchildren.
