REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL

An Unusually Harmonious Convention, and a Faultless, Winning Ticket Placed Before the People

Brief Report of the Proceedings

The Republicans of Harrison Township assembled in convention at Clay City, on Saturday afternoon, March 8, 1890, for the purpose of nominating candidates to be voted for at the approaching April election. Daniel Molter, township committeeman, called the house to order, and on motion of the convention, Dr. I. A. Hale was selected to preside over the meeting. After a short address by the presiding officer, W. J. Ward was chosen to act as secretary, and the business of the convention proceeded in due form. It being decided to nominate by ballot vote, the names of Michael Schiele and Henry Correll were placed before the convention as candidates for Trustee. Virgil Brown and James Owens were appointed as tellers, and the convention submitted their vote which resulted as follows: Michael Schiele, 86; Henry Correll, 13. Mr. Schiele having received the majority of all votes cast, was declared the nominee of the party.

DIABETES POSITIVELY CURED

And also Children of Ned Webking [?]
Diabetes is a disease of the liver – it does not perform its functions; more water is passed than can be assimilated, causing a diarrhea of the kidneys – that is, everything taken into the stomach seems to turn to water. Actual trial and numerous tests prove that William C. Davis’ preparation cures the distressing and fatal disease. For proof of all that is claimed for the remedy you are referred to Michael Schiele, of Harrison township, aged 60 years; Mrs. Aquilla Hixon, Alberton, Vigo county; John Starks, Parke county; A.W. Turner and Jonathan Griffy, Brazil. Price $1.00 per bottle.

Republican Candidate for Trustee

Michael Schiele, Republican candidate for Trustee of Harrison township, has few equals in Clay county, all things considered. He is honorable, liberal, well qualified, and always has a kind word for every one he meets. In fact, there can be nothing truthfully urged against him.

CLAY CITY

Mrs. C. E. Fesler accompanied her aunt Mrs. Mills to Brazil last Monday – F. A. Horner, Eli Coopridger, D.W. David and Mr. Sedgwick went to the Capital on court business last Monday – Counterfeit silver coins are said to be numerously circulated in this community – Mrs. Nellie Bagott accompanied by her little daughter went to Brazil Monday – Daniel Kambler, an old citizen and for many years a resident of this township, died last lweek at the home of his sone in Wayne county, Illinois – John Schiele, of Olney, Illinois, has been visiting his brother Michael Schiele – Will Schultz thinks of relocating on Eel river, having an eye to the Connely farm – Last Sunday, two youths of this locality found a stranger lying by the railroad tracks, supposed to have been drunk, who proceeded to rifle the helpless man’s pockets. It was a bold, dastardly trick, and the young men were recognized by a lady who will identify them when the occasion demands.

“John Schiele, of Olney, Illinois, has been visiting his brother Michael Schiele.” – It is only one sentence but it finally confirmed a relationship that has long been suspected. Both men were born in Germany, and died before death certificates were mandatory. Two census enumerations gave evidence to a possible relationship, but not definitive proof. In 1860, John was living in Michael’s household in Wadsworth, Medina County, Ohio. Since the early census records did not include relationships among household members, these relationships can only be inferred. Michael later moved to Clay County, Indiana, where he appeared on the 1870 census. John was no longer a member of Michael’s household, but he too had made the journey from Ohio and was living in the same Clay County township.

Now that it is known that John and Michael were in fact brothers, perhaps more evidence revealing their family origins in Germany may be not too far behind.
