Biography

Following his marriage, he stayed with his wife's family on the home farm. He received this 268 acre property comprising of the southern portion of Lot 69 of the German Company Tract and a portion of Lot 5 of the James Wilson Tract from his wife's father for £2,000 on 11 September 1856. See Jacob Shantz's profile for more information. Jacob Shantz continued to live at this location until his death in 1871.

Known as Red Mose to distinguish him from two other Moses Schneiders in the area at the time, he was a deacon at the nearby Snyder (now Bloomingdale) Mennonite Church. He died young of typhoid fever shortly after the death of his father-in-law and is buried at the Bloomingdale Mennonite Cemetery. Having no will, his brother-in-law Abraham Clemmer was given guardianship of the property until the youngest son Jacob came of age.
