  PAUL SCHROEDER, manager of the Fox River Valley Marble, Granite and Cut Stone Works, at Appleton, Wisconsin, doing the largest business in its line in the city, was born in Appleton in 1874, a son of Albert and Sophia (Muenster) Schroeder, natives of Germany. Mr. Schroeder's father on first coming to Appleton connected himself with the Appleton Woolen Mills, but after a short period engaged in the furniture business, in which he was engaged for about twenty years, having an establishment on the present site of the Merrimac Theatre. Later he engaged in the coal and wood business, in which he was engaged at the time of his death, April 30, 1890. His widow was married a second time to Fred Pauls, a native of Germany and one of Appleton's pioneer citizens, and she died in 1907. Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder had the following children: Martha, who is a resident of Seymour, Wisconsin; Emma, living at Monmouth, Illinois; Paul; Edith, who is deceased; Alma of Chicago; and Louis, a resident of Appleton, engaged in wire weaving. Paul Schroeder received his education in the public schools, after leaving which he learned the marble and granite cutting trade with Adolph Jenss. In 1896 he went into business with G. C. Newmann, who sold out later to Fred Pauls, and for a time thereafter Mr. Schroeder was engaged in business by himself. In December, 1904, he bought an interest in the Fox River Valley Marble, Granite and Cut Stone works, of which he has been manager ever since. Compressed air is used in this business and it demands the services of fifteen to twenty men to handle the large orders that come in from a radius of within sixty miles of Appleton. In 1897, Mr. Schroeder was married to May Gainor, of Appleton, daughter of Michael and Hannah Gainor, the former a merchant of Nashville. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder, namely: Cloyd and Bernice. Mr. Schroeder is a member of the Eagles, and his father for many years was a well known Odd Fellow.
