Back row: Kathleen O’Dell, Lewis T. O’Dell, Marilyn (O’Dell) Black, Kent O'Dell
Front row: Lewis J.T. O’Dell and Ruby (Wilson) O’Dell
Lewis J.T. O’Dell and Ruby (Wilson) O’Dell, two long-time educators in the Kinmundy-Alma Unit School district are seen in this picture with their four children, Lewis T. O’Dell, Kent W. O’Dell, Marilyn O’Dell Black, and Kathy O’Dell. This picture was taken in 1958. The family has lived in the Kinmundy area since the fall of 1946 when Mr. Lewis J.T. O’Dell became superintendent of the then Kinmundy School District. He continued in that role until disabled by a stroke in early 1958. Mrs. O’Dell taught 25 or 26 years, including 20 years in the Kinmundy High School English Department, coached numerous plays and served as judge of themes submitted for the National Conference of Teachers of English. In 1964 she was recognized as the Marion County Teacher of the Year. Both were active members of the Kinmundy Methodist Church and local service clubs, including the city’s Centennial celebration. Mrs. O’Dell was director / coach for the centennial play and Mr. O’Dell one of the actors. They lived on the old Gray farm north of Kinmundy, until moving to town after Mr. O’Dell’s stroke. Although they didn’t know each other at the time, both graduated from Southern Illinois Normal University, now SIU-C, in 1928. They met in Filmore, IL when both were teachers there. They married in Vandalia and later Mr. O’Dell taught or served as an administrator at Donnellson, New Baden, and DuQuoin. Mr. O’Dell spent some time studying for his graduate degree at the University in Greely, Colorado. He earned his master’s degree from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, where he was a Phi Beta Kappa. Mrs. O’Dell did a year’s graduate work in English at Washington University in 1930-31 and received her bachelor’s degree in 1961 from Southern Illinois University – Carbondale. Before he marriage, she taught three years in one-room schools in the Crab Orchard area and then at Fillmore. After they were married, she was a stay-at-home mother, until their youngest daughter started first grade in Kinmundy. Mr. O’Dell died in 1976. Mrs. O’Dell died in 1982. Sons, Kent (and his wife, Rena) and Lewis (and his wife, Helen) live in the Kinmundy area. Daughter Marilyn O’Dell Black and her husband, Frank, are residents of Carbondale. Kathy lives in Shiloh, IL.

A little more information came from James Mulvany, as Jim Williams shared this story with him. A lot of people are not aware that the day of the shooting, Jim just happened to be on duty ans was the closest Illinois State trooper to Centralia. He was dispatched to Mrs. Brady's house and escorted her to the Centralia airport and a plane was sent for her to go to Washington. Jim stayed with her on the plane, and they became close friends. Anytime she needed to go anywhere, she would not go without "Jimmy." He also had hanging on his wall at his home, a framed letter addressed to him from the White House.

Christian Schneider was born March 29, 1815 in Gradshaw, West Germany. He died December 1, 1876, and is buried in the St. Peter Lutheran Cemetery. In 1839, he married in Prussia to Rosalie Beata Walcholz. She was born March 17, 1821 in West Germany and died March 1909. She is buried in Farina Cemetery. Their children were Herman, Julius, Emil, Heneritta, Alwine, and Wilhelm Henry. Christian Schneider and his family settled in Staunton, Ill., where Wilhelm was born. Wilhelm was 9 years old when his parents moved to the St. Peter area. Their first night in Fayette county was spent in a two story brick house on Rt. 40, east of Bluff City. Christian owned land in Macoupin and Fayette County. Christian and Rosalie’s first son, Herman Julius Frederick Schneider, was born Sept. 9, 1855 in Pantau Co., West Prussia, Saaben, Germany. In 1862, he came to America with his parents. He was confirmed Apr. 10, 1870 in the Evangelical Church.
Herman Schneider and his family later moved to Fayette Co. in 1876. In Oct. 10, 1878, he married Lena Knauer in Lone Grove twp. They lived where Glenn and Mae Sigrist once lived, which was just across the Fayette Co. line Herman Jr. was born here and they later moved to the large home north of Kinmudy where they finished building the inside of the house. This is the location of the famous SCHNEIDER SPRINGS that Herman and Lena developed where people came from churches and around for their Sunday picnic.
Herman and Lena had 5 children to die from T.B. within a five year period. Herman died from apoloxy at the age of 74. Funeral services were held at the Evangelical Church in Farina, Illinois. Their children: Herman Wilhelm Emil Schneider, Matilda Alwine Emma, William Henry, Ida Emilie, Bertha Rosa, Minnie E., Adolph J., Lena Louise Maria, Emma Rosalia Caroline and Freida. On Dec. 5, 1878, Herman bought land from William and Harriet Neeper from Maxon Co., Kentucky for the sum of $560. On Feb. 15, 1879, they bought 160 acres from William and Harriet Neeper from Kentucky, for the same amount of $560. Herman purchased 85 acres for $2000 on Jan. 27, 1883 from Thomas and Mary Meagher from Centralia, Illinois. Herman lived at a Kinmundy address at this time. They were from Fayette county when they made the first two purchases.
By the early 1930’s, the springs area was no longer used for picnics. This particular piece of land later belonged to Herman Jr. and Lillie Mae Barbee Schneider. However, they did not live at the same location as the parents. Herman and Lillie lived along R. 37 all their married lives.
Herman and Lillie’s son Merle owned and raised cattle on this homestead until his death on Oct. 31, 1992.
Herman and Lillie’s children: Clarence Herman, Naomi Tillie Lena; Hilda Emma Marie; Edna Mae Alvina; Merle Willis; Ervin Henry; Dorothy Alice Frieda; Betty Jean Ella Mae; Arlene Lillie Rose

“The Salem Republican”; Alma Resident Recalls Pioneer History on 82nd Birthday; Relatives in 3 Wars"
By Mrs. Rhea SHREFFLER; Wilmington, Illinois
"Mrs. Ella SHREFFLER, residing near Alma, celebrated her 82nd birthday recently when her immediate family gathered on Sunday, Oct. 17, for a dinner at her home in honor of the occasion.
She was also given a card and handkerchief shower.
During her life time, three wards have been fought, and our country is in another great conflict. Mrs. SHREFFLER has had relatives in each of these wars, thereby acquiring a record of which she is justely proud. This record may be equaled a few times but will seldom be surpassed.
Mrs. SHREFFLER was born on Oct. 1, 1861, near the close of the first year of the Civil War. On Oct. 31, 1861, when she was less than three weeks old, her father, John Bell CHANDLER, and her mother’s brother, William SMITH, enlisted at Camp Butler near Springfield, Illinois, and were with the 7th Regiment Illinois Cavalry.
The first three years of her childhood days, her father remained with this regiment which covered over 5000 miles and capturing about 3000 prisoners of war. Their exploits took them as far south as Port Hudson, La.
Her uncle, William SMITH, was killed in a battle and was buried near Nashville, Tenn. Another uncle, Sringler CHANDLER, also fought in the Civil War, and the G.A.R. Post at Salem bears his name.
An uncle by marriage, Oscar BROKAIR, husband of the late Hulda CHANDLER, was also killed during a battle in the South.
At the outbreak of the Spanish American War, her brother-in-law, Arthur SHREFFLER, enlisted in the Army and was stationed in the Philippines until the close of the war.
Three of her five sons were in World War I. They were Gordon SHREFFLER and Leslie SHREFFLER of Alma, and Harry SHREFFLER of Wilmington, Ill.
Her son, Harry, saw action at Chateau Thierry and Muse-Argonne. He was transferred from the 335th Division to the First Division shortly after arriving in France. When the Armistice was signed, he marched with General Pershing’s First Division into Germany and remained with the Army of Occupation in that country until the following fall.
Six of her seven grandsons have entered World War II. Although the seventh grandson, Lynn SHREFFLER, being only 8 years of age, isn’t old enough to be in the Army, proudly wears his play soldier uniform and vainly tries to live up to the family tradition of soldiers.
The eldest grandson, Corp. Aaron SHREFFLER, enlisted shortly after war was declared and served for 16 months as a cook in the Army Air was then given a medical discharge. Sgt. Lyle SHREFFLER of Co. F. 382nd Inf. is stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington. Cadet Edwin SHREFFLER is attending William and Mary College at Williamsburg, Va., in training for Mechanical Engineering. Air Student Ralph SHREFFLER is attending Carroll College at Waukeska, Wisconsin, in training for an Air Cadet, Pfc. George SHREFFLER, stationed at Amarillo Air Field, Amarillo, Texas, is attending gunners school and Harry Junior SHREFFLER, S 2-C, stationed at Treasure Island, San Francisco, Calif., and has been assigned to the U.S.S. Tingey, Camp Claiborne, Ia. One nephew aged when they entered the armed forces.
She also has one grandson-in-law, Pvt. James EAGAN, stationed at Camp Claiforne, La. One nephew, Roger SHREFFLER, has been with the famous Flying Tigers along the Burma Road and in India. Two grand nephews complete the list of soldiers to-date. Ernest “Sonny” HOWELL was stationed at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked, and Marvin CHANDLER of the Navy, is now at sea and his address is unknown.
Mrs. SHREFFLER proudly tells her friends that not only in these four wars were the men folks in her family known for valor and courage.
In an Illinois History the story is told of a group of neighbors being gathered in a fort during a terrific attack by the Indians. One man was wounded and could not reach the fort.
After the men in the enclosure refused to go out and rescue him because the danger was so great, a pioneer lady by the name of Mrs. PERSLEY rode out of the fort and brought the man safely into the fort to be cared for. Mrs. PERSLEY was Mrs. SHREFFLER’s great-grandmother.
Mrs. SHREFFLER’s great-grandfather SMITH was killed and scalped by the Indians as he gathered new corn for dinner. His courageous wife lived alone with her children after his death and later Indians came to her home to be fed and at times slept in her home.
Mrs. SHREFFLER leads an active useful ife, keeping house for her son, Leslie, visiting her neighbors and the sick, and also finding time to correspond with all of her grandsons, and entertains them when they are home on furlough.
She has a remarkable memory, and having lived in Marion County her entire life, can relate many interesting incidents that occurred when most of the country was virgin soil and was intersected with wagon trails instead of pavements and candles were used instead of lamps and electric lights."
