A year later, Shea went to the United States where he acquired a new name and a new job. Charles Schneider worked as a presser. He took the name Schneider because his brother Pinchas, a tailor who had already settled in St. Louis, had taken that surname. Charles earned 14$ (of which he saved 8$ ) each week. His family joined him in1909. He bought a home, 2943 Thomas Street in St. Louis, in around 1919. The family took great pride in this home.
