Biography of John Matthias Shoudel, pages 862/863. Historyof DeKalb County, Indiana; B. F. Bowen & Company, Inc.,Indianapolis, 1914.In placing the name of John Matthias Shoudel before thereader as one who stood for many years in the front rank ofthe enterprising men of affairs and a leader inagricultural circles of DeKalb county, Indiana, whoseinfluence tended to the upbuilding of the locality of hisresidence and the advancement of the affairs of his county,simple justice is done a biographical fact, recognizedthroughout the community by those at all familiar with hishistory and cognizant of the important part he acted in thecircles with which he was identified. His career presents anotable example of those qualities of mind and characterwhich overcome obstacles and win success, and he waseminently deserving of the high place he held in the heartsof those with whom he was associated. John MatthiasShoudel was born in 1814 in Bavaria, Germany, and was theson of John Shoudel. He was reared and educated in hisnative land, and there, on reaching mature years, hemarried Magdalena Miller, a native of the same locality anda daughter of John Miller. Mr. Shoudel learned the trade ofa weaver in his native land and also gave some attention tofarming. In 1854, desiring larger opportunities foradvancement, he came to the United States. After spendinga few months in New York he went to Chicago, and whileliving there, in 1855, he sent for his family, who hadremained in the fatherland. He was employed on the docks inChicago, but in 1857 he joined, with four others, FrankMiller, John Miller, Xavier Schmidt and Frederick Schmidt,and they brought their families to DeKalb county, wherethey bought forty acres of land, for which they paid threehundred dollars, and then they divided the land betweenthen, eight acres each. This land was located in section15, Smithfield township, and had not been disturbed byhuman hand since the red man left it. Mr. Shoudel at oncecleared a spot on which he erected a log cabin, and appliedhimself to the strenuous task of felling the timber andgetting the land in shape for cultivation. His firstwinter's efforts amounted to two acres of cleared land, andduring the season the main diet of the family consisted ofcorn bread and wild game, of which latter there was anabundance. Eventually Mr. Shoudel was able to buy a yoke ofsteers, and after a while he secured a second yoke, whichgreatly facilitated this labors. He managed well, waswisely economical and at length was able to buy forty acresmore land, and with this as a nucleus his affairs assumed apromising aspect. Industry, persistence and good managementwere the essential qualities which contributed to hissuccess and he was able to buy more land from time to timeuntil at the time of his death he was the owner of twohundred acres of splendidly improved farm land. JohnMatthias Shoudel died in 1880, and was survived a few yearsby his widow, whose death occurred in 1886. In the affairsof the community Mr. Shoudel took a leading part and nomovement of any moment was launched without his assistanceand co-operation. When St. Michael's Catholic church wasinstituted here during the eighties, Mr. Shoudel was one ofthe thirteen persons who requested the bishop of thediocese to establish the church, and for many years he wasone of the leading members of the parish. He was one of theoldest men in the community, and to him many looked foradvice and counsel in their temporal affairs, and he everproved worthy of their confidence. His integrity andfidelity were manifested in every relation of life, and hisplain, rugged honesty, his open-hearted manner, undisguisedand unaffected, is to his descendants a sweet and lastingmemory. To John Matthias and Magdalena Shoudel were bornthe following children: Baltzer, Michael L., Matthias,Agnes and John, the latter dying at the age of twenty-twoyears.Submitted by:Arlene GoodwinAuburn, IndianaAgoodwin@ctlnet.comJohannes married Maria Magdalena Müller on 9 Feb 1839 in Bundenthal, Pfalz, Bayern.
