HENRY SCHNELT, a brother of John B., left his fatherland in 1864, or four years after John's departure, and taking passage at Bremen, sailed for New York, from which port he came west as far as St. Louis, where he remained three years, engaged in teaming. In 1867 he came to Greene county, and worked out by the month until 1871, when he, with two of his brothers, rented a farm on the same section where they reside, which they farmed for three years. Then he and his brothers, Tobias and Lucas, bought 210 acres of land on Sec. 30, T. 10, R. 12, where they have since resided.
