FROM: Beyond Today, A History of Holt County Nebraska by Nellie Snyder Yost
John Schneider was born in 1874 at Platte Center, Nebraska. His mother died when he was a babe, his father remarried and brought the family to a farm south of Stuart in the early eighties. John went to the nearest country school for about four years, then went to work to help out at home. While freighting from Stuart with a team and wagon he was once caught in a tordado while in town. He stopped his outfit south of the bank building, got out of the wagon and laid flat on the ground, holding fast to the lines to control his team. The big wind passed over him without doing any damage.

John married Emma Kutz and worked for awhile at “the five-mile pit”, the gravel excavation between Stuart and Atkinson. The railroad built a spur line to the pit and a crew of about a dozen men loaded the cars by hand. Wages were one dollar per day, per man.

In 1921 John went to work for the Standard Oil Company, driving four head of mules to a tank wagon, delivering oil and gas to inland towns. A trip to Dustin took twelve hours. His wages were fifty dollars per month. The railroad oil cars were unloaded with a hand pump,he job required eight hours of steady pumping to unload a tank car of gas.

Emma Schneider, the mother of six children herself, served as mid-wife to many Stuart families.
