View a history of Terre Haute.

Under this head we propose to give extended biographies or personal sketches of a large number of the leading citizens of Terre Haute and vicinity, not only of early settlers, but also of the more modern. The items have been obtained, as far as possible, from the parties themselves, or their intimate friends, and are believed to be perfectly reliable. Many of the subjects have already been mentioned in the preceding pages, but we believe it will add vastly to our work as a book of reference and as a basis for the future historian, to give to this department a most minute detail. As far as practicable, the sketches have been arranged in chronological order or rather than in the order of coming to the township or county.--[Ed.

HENRY SCHAEFER, hotel keeper, Terre Haute, though one of the more recent comers to the city, has already in his line, with the help of his son, Chas. F., built up a good business. Mr. SCHAEFER is a native of Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, where he was born October 15, 1818. Before leaving his native country he had secured a good business education and had learned the trade of a weaver. In 1836 he emigrated to the United States, and for about two and a half years after his arrival remained a resident of Baltimore. He removed from there to Newark, New Jersey, and there resided for about eight years, during which time he learned and followed the trade of a coach lace weaver. From Newark he went to Louisville, Kentucky, but finding he could not make it pay there he went to Evansville, Indiana, in 1849. There he remained a resident till September 15, 1878, when he bought the establishment in Terre Haute owned by Mr. BLOOMANBERG, which since, under his management, has been known as Schaefer�s Hotel. During his residence in Evansville he was engaged most of the time in the saloon business, though from 1865 till 1869 he was in the woolen trade. His principal business now is liquors, in the sale of which he keeps a neat, orderly place at No. 639 Main street. This branch of the business, though, is principally under the charge of Mr. Chas. F., his son. Mr. SCHAEFER was married in February, 1850, to Miss Carolina CAPPLER, she being a native of Baden, Germany.

FREDERICK WILLIAM SCHALEY, grocer, Terre Haute, is a German-American. He is a descendant of the old Germans of Hesse-Cassel, who took prominent part in the Reformation, and of whose views and traditions he is a representative. He was born in the province of Hesse-Cassel, Germany, November 15, 1823. At the age of twenty he emigrated to America, landing in Philadelphia, in 1844. After spending two years in that city he went to Pittsburgh and engaged in the grocery business with the firm of McCullough & Hanna. In the fall of 1850 he visited Terre Haute, and settled permanently here in 1853, engaging in the grocery business, in which he has been quite successful. At the present he is living a short distance from the city, but with a view to return to his business soon. Mr. SCHALEY started out in life a poor boy, but by energy, economy, and strict integrity he has made his way to a good standing among the business men of the city, and has made his occupation and his life a success. He justly stands high among his fellow citizens, having made his property by straightforward and legitimate business. He is a man of excellent moral and christian character, and is one of the founders of the German Reformed church of Terre Haute, and has been superintendent of the Sunday-school, almost without intermission, from the time of its establishment.

Mr. PHILIP SCHLOSS, one of the most prominent dealers in, and manufacturers of, clothing in Terre Haute, is a native of Bavaria. At the age of thirteen years he left his native country, and emigrated to the United States. At this early age, he had already acquired something of an education, and had learned the trade of a bookbinder. Shortly after his arrival in the United States, in 1849, he became a resident of the State of Maryland. Being wholly dependent upon his own resources, he realized the necessity of learning the English language as speedily as possible, and also the laws and customs of the Americans, so far as they were taught by the common schools. With a view to this, he immediately began attending school, and as he says "the only words of my teacher that I could understand were yes and no," but in three months' time he had learned to speak the language quite fluently, besides having mastered several other studies in that time. In 1854 he became a resident of Terre Haute, where he has since resided, excepting the time spent in the Union army, during the rebellion of 1861-65. He first joined the state militia known as the Fort Harrison Guards. This company was at that time commanded by Capt. TOPPING, and during his command was called into active service. He was afterward in the thirty days' service, in 1863, under Capt. REIMAN, and at the expiration of this term of service he reenlisted in the same company. During the time of his service in the army he was also interested in the mercantile business in Terre Haute, as he has been identified with the clothing trade of Terre Haute for the past twenty-five years. He first began as a clerk for S. REIDELBERGER, and was afterward in the employ of J. BISHOP, then for a time was with J. GRANAUER, and afterward began with Mr. GOODMAN Sr., with whom he became a partner in the business in 1862. They continued to do business together for about five years, when he began on his own account, and has since without the aid of a partner, built up one of the largest business houses in the city, in his line. It is located at No. 420 Main street, and is 20 feet front by 120 feet in depth, and is stocked with everything pertaining to a complete line of clothing and gents furnishing goods. He gives employment to three salesmen and twenty-four tailors, and has the reputation of manufacturing the finest goods in his line in the city of Terre Haute. The building up of this extensive business has been the result of his own energy and good financiering, as when he landed in New York city, in 1849, he was but a poor boy thirteen years old, left dependent upon his own resources, his "stock and store" being but a suit of clothes and $2 in money. In 1874 he was elected a member of the common council of the city of Terre Haute, and has since served the people in that capacity, this being the only office he has ever accepted at the hands of the people, and he declares that the term of 1879 shall be his last as a member of council, or as an office-holder.

WILLIAM SCHMITT, car inspector of the Vandalia railroad, Terre Haute, is a native of Germany. In 1854, when he was twenty-six years old, he emigrated to the United States, stopping first at New Orleans. From there he went to Evansville and then to Vincennes, and a short time after came to Terre Haute and began work for the Vandalia company. He began first in the company's carpenter shop, where he remained about three years, and then took his present position of car inspecting. While attending to his duties in this line he has found in all about $4,000 in money, which he has returned to the rightful owners. These acts of honesty have only increased the confidence of the company in him. He now has two boys in the employ of the Vandalia company, Chas. W., who is running on the road, and Frank C., who is now firing. Before leaving Germany Mr. SCHMITT received a good education, and was also in the arms for three years. Now he is holding a good position, and is one of the sober, industrious citizens of the city. He is a member of Schiller Lodge, No. 4, A.O.U.W.

L.H. SCHROEDER, grocer, Terre Haute, of No. 1000 South Second street, though a resident of Terre Haute only since February 18, 1879, has already established a good business in the line of groceries, provisions, wines, liquors, etc. His establishment is 25x60 feet, and is well stocked with everything pertaining to the grocery trade. It is very seldom that a dealer in so short a time builds up a trade so extensive as that which he now enjoys. It is probably owing to his keeping a fine stock of fresh goods, selling them at low prices, and delivering the quantities sold to customers free of charge. Mr. SCHROEDER is a native of Prussia, and has now been a resident of the United States but about seven years. He first stopped in Baltimore for a time and then went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where for about two years he was employed in a foundry. He subsequently removed to New Orleans, where he also remained about two years and then went to Memphis, Tennessee, and from there to Terre Haute. He remained in Memphis during the yellow fever epidemic of 1878, and left in February, 1879, without ever having been troubled with it himself. Since coming to the United States, he has been entirely dependent upon his own resources. With the start he has now acquired in Terre Haute he bids fair to become one of the more prominent dealers in his line of business.

JAMES SEATH, superintendent of the Terre Haute Car and Manufacturing Co., of which a history will be found in another place in this book, is a man of many years' experience in railroading as well as in manufacturing. A great portion of the success of the company of which he is superintendent is due to his thorough and practical knowledge as a machinist. He is a native of Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1833, when he was six years old, his people emigrated to the United States and became residents of Albany, New York, where he remained until twenty-one years of age. While there he learned the trade of a machinist and received a good education. At the age of twenty-one years he went to New York city and entered the employ of the Hudson River Railroad Company, with whom he remained about five years, the time being spent both in the shops and on the road. At the end of five years he left this road and took the position of master mechanic on the Hudson & Berkshire railroad. This position he also held for about five years, when he changed again and accepted the position of master mechanic on the Chicago & Alton railroad. He remained with this company about two years, when he went to Missouri and took the position of foreman for the Missouri Northern railroad, and the second year he was made master mechanic of the road. He remained with the Missouri Northern road until 1862, when he went back to the Chicago & Alton, where he remained until 1867, in which year he became a resident of Terre Haute. In 1868 he began the business of manufacturing in company with Mr. J.B. HAGER, and, as before stated, is now superintendent of the Terre Haute Car and Manufacturing Co. His wide and varied experience as master mechanic of different railroads has given him a thorough knowledge of the necessities of a railroad. He is a man of whom the people of Terre Haute speak very highly, and justly so, as the importance of the success of the Terre Haute Car and Manufacturing Co. is appreciated by all good citizens of the city.

W.B. SHERBURNE, engineer, Terre Haute, is one of the few men whose connection with the Vandalia railroad dates back to more than twenty years of those who are still in the employ of that company. He is a native of Ontario county, New York, and is now a man of forty-six years of age. His residence has been in Terre Haute for the past twenty years, though he has been connected with the Vandalia line, or, as it was called at that time, the Terre Haute & Indianapolis railroad, since 1854. He began first as a fireman, but has now been running an engine for about twenty-two years. During all this time he has never been suspended, and has never had any difficulty with the company. By carefulness and a close attention to his business he has made for himself a record of which any engineer may well be proud, though he is modest enough to attribute his reputation to good luck. Two years ago he engaged in the drug business in Terre Haute in company with a Mr. BRYAN. He shortly after bought Mr. BRYAN's interest in the business and then took a Mr. FREEMAN as a partner, the firm name now being Freeman & Sherburne. Their establishment is known as the Depot Drug Store, and is lcoated at No. 930 Chestnut street. They have on hand all that class of goods pertaining to a well stocked drug store, and in connection they do quite a jobbing business in cigars. During Mr. SHERBURNE's connection with the drug trade he has still retained his position on the road, and is now, as he has been for years, one of the thoroughly reliable engineers of the Vandalia line.

JOSEPH H. SIMMONS, grocer, Terre Haute, though but recently connected with the grocery trade of Terre Haute on his own account, has already established a business ranking with the more important houses of the city. He is a native of Parke county, Indiana. His father was one of the early settlers of that county, he having located there as early as 1816, where he continued to reside until his death, which occurred in 1876, when he was in his eighty-ninth year. He was a native of Pennsylvania, and during the war of 1812 served his country as a soldier and loyal citizen. He came to Parke county poor in property but rich in energy and a stern determination to win a home and comforts for himself and his.

He remained with Mr. OLIVER until September, 1879, and in the following October he began for himself. His place of business is No. 512 Main street, where he is occupying a building of two floors, 16 feet front and 120 feet deep.
