Death date from IGI

SCHRODER - Calvin SCHRODER, of the firm SCHRODER & MARTIN, hardware, harness and implement dealers at Modale, forms the subject of this sketch. In January 1890, Mr. SCHRODER engaged in the hardware business, beginning with about $1,100, and in May, 1891, he took in Reuben A. MARTIN as a partner, at which time he added agricultural implements and a harness shop. The firm now carry about $3,000 worth of goods.

Our subject was born in Lewis County, MO, September 9, 1863. He is the son of Henry and Jane A. (WAGGENER) SCHRODER. When he was four years of age, in August 1867, the family came to Harrison County, Iowa. The father having died in Missouri, the mother married a man by the name of Benjamin MARTIN and they settled on the land Modale is now on. He platted and called it "Martinville," and here they remained until the fall of 1879, Mr. MARTIN having died in the autumn of 1875. The mother married for her third husband Mr. D. M. ARNOLD, who took a homestead in Antelope County, Nebr., and he died there in 1883. The family then came back to Harrison County, and settled in Cincinnati Township and from there removed to Modale. The mother died in March 1884.

Our subject farmed near town, until he went into business. He was married in Harrison County, May 7, 1884, to Miss Martha E. CLIFTON. Four children have been born to them -- Ray L., Arthur E., Harry H. (deceased), and Grace.

Martha E. (CLIFTON) SCHRODER, daughter of Joseph and Sarah E. (HARGADINE) CLIFTON was born in Peoria, Ill., November 28, 1862, and in September 1875, came to Montgomery County, Iowa, and in 1878 they moved to Clark County, Nebr., and in 1881, to this county, and settled in Taylor Township.

Our subject obtained his education at the common schools. Politically, he is a Republican, and is now Township Clerk, and was appointed to the office of Mayor of Modale in the summer of 1890, and was elected to that office in March, 1891. He is a member of the Odd Fellows' order, belonging to Mondamin Lodge, No. 192. His wife is a member of the Christian Church.
