AFTER YEARS OF EXHAUSTIVE RESEARCH AND TIRELESS HOURS COMBING THROUGH RECORDS AT 
COURTHOUSES, AND HISTORICAL SOCIETIES I HAVE FINALLY OBTAINED EVIDENCE OF JOHAN 
SCHAEFER'S EXISTANCE!! I FOUND HIS OBITUARY WHICH STATES HIS AGE TO THE MONTH AND 
DAY, AS WELL AS A CHURCH RECORD OF HIS DEATH WHICH ALSO STATES AGE AND CAUSE OF DEATH 
AND PLACE OF BURIAL , ALL WHICH MATCH UP TO DATES AND PLACE OF HIS DEATH DATE AND 
BURIAL. I DEDICATE THIS FIND TO ALL THOSE RESEARCHERS WHO HAVE WORKED FOR YEARS WITH 
NO RECORD OF HIS EXISTANCE, THIS IS FOR THEM.  PLEASE CHECK OUT THESE NEW DOCUMENTS 
ON JOHAN SCHAEFER'S PAGE AND AS ALWAYS... ENJOY!!  -MIKE

SHEAFFER AND MARY CATHERINE STEIDLER. THIS HAS LONG ELUDED ME AND WAS FOUND BASICALLY 
BY ACCIDENT.
