Looking for information on the John Henry Schroeder and Effie (McClure) Schroeder family
listed in the 1910 census for this county. All their children were born in California.
Effie was born in Wayne Co., Illinois, around 1879, the daughter of Richard R. McClure and
Sarah Jane Campbell. John Henry, her husband, per the 1910 census shows he emigrated in
1875 from Germany and was born in 1861. I know no other information about him. The couple
apparently married in Wayne County, Illinois, although I can find no record there.
The 1910 census shows they had two living sons: Earnest, age 17, and Lloyd, age 7.
The 1900 census shows this family in Douglas County. The census shows two sons, Earnest
and Henry. Henry, showing born in 02/1891, evidently died. The 1910 census shows that
Effie had born 3 children with only two alive.
There is a 1918 County Draft record for a Earnest L. Schroeder who
might have been born in Myers Station, CA - which I think is now the Meyers area SW of
Lake Tahoe Airport. Can anyone confirm the Meyers area is indeed the old pony express
Meyer's Station?
Effie was my grandmother's half-sister. I do have pictures of the family when the
older boys were about 7 or 8 as well as one family picture of two boys grown, with there
also being a young woman and a little girl of about 3 in the picture - possibly wife of
one of the boys and their daughter.
I can find no record of this family anywhere after the 1910 census. So any information on
this family is appreciated. Hope to hear from someone soon.
