Note: From The Caldwell Citizens' Press, 14 Sep 1882:
Births -- On the 5th, a son to Valentine and Ottilia Schutz.
In the 1920 census shows a 37 year old widower named J. Edward Scheetz. Also in the household are children Walter (7) and William (5), and Edward's unmarried sister Mary (47). The family lived in a mortgaged home. Edward was able to read, write, and speak English. Walter attended school, but William did not. The census states that Edward's father was born in Germany, and his mother in West Virginia. The children's mother (Philomena, deceased) was born in Ohio. It looks like Edward was a conductor on a steam railroad (a little hard to read).
In 1930, Edward J. Scheetz (47) owned a home worth $5500 at 342 Delaon (?) Ave. in Youngstown, Mahoning County, Ohio. Living with him were his wife, Catherine R. (44), and children Walter J.and William E. Both boys attended school. Edward's age at first marriage was 26, and Catherine's was 34. Edward was employed as a carpeneter for a lumber company.
