• Notes

  Spouse: Dorothea SCHNEIDER Schlotzhauer Father: Rudolph Schlotzhauer Mother: Marie Christiana Schlotzhauer Christopher Schlotzhauer, section 10, is one among the pioneers of Northwestern Missouri. His parents, Rudolph and Christiana, were both natives of Germany. Christopher was born April 12, 1828, in that country. He crossed the ocean with his parents about 1835, and landed at New Orleans. After remaining some two years in Louisiana, they came by steamboat to St. Louis and thence to Boonville, Cooper county, Missouri, thence when the subject of this sketch was reared to manhood, spending his boyhood days on the farm and receiving fair educational advantages. He helped to clear two farms in that densely wooded locality, and when 17, he commenced to learn the carpenter trade, which he followed for several years. In the spring of 1864, he came to Holt county and settled where he now resides. He has since been engaged in agricultural pursuits and at present owns 150 acres of well improved land. He is farm is well watered by two falling springs and a branch. Curzon Station, on the Kansas City, St. Joseph, and Council Bluffs Railroad, is only a short distance from his residence. In May, 1881, Mr. S purchased the steam saw-mill located at that point. This mill does as much business as any in the county, is complete in its appointments, and when crowed is capable of outing ten thousand feet per day. Mr. S is a very enterprising and energetic citizen. Politically, he is an Independent Republican and formerly voted the old Whig ticket. He was married on the 9th of April, 1848, to Miss Dorothy Snider, daughter of John P. Snider. They have had eight children, six of whom are living: Sarah E., b. Jan. 24, 1849, (now Mrs. Jacob Markt of Oregon, MO), Rudolph, b. Nov. 13, 1850, Phillip, b. Mar. 30, 1856, John, b. Oct. 8, 1858, Christopher, b. Sept. 13. 1862, Julia A., b. July 3, 1865. Mr. S. and wife are active members of the Herman M.E. Church. He has filled the position of a local preacher in this church for some 25 years. Source: Holt county History, 1882, Page 406.
