States in 1850 and settled upon farm near
Cleveland. The next year he opened a grocery
store in Akron and in 1852 he began to manu-
facture the product which was to make him rich
and famous-a prepared oatmeal, the first of
the cereal products which have become so common
in the use of the American people In this bust
ness Mr.. Schumacher amassed large fortune
with which he did good most generously, the
Prohibition cause being one of the foremost of
his benefciares At an early period Mr. Schu-
macher had become a Prohibitionst and not
only his generosity but his rock-fast devotion to
the worthy of all praise. In 1886
his vast plant at Akron was destroyed by fire,
involving a loss of more than 100000. An
enormous quantity of grain in the buildings
was damaged so as to make its use for the pro-
duction of cereal foods impossible, and repre-
sentatives of the brewing interests attempted to
purchase it for making beer. Before Mr. Schu-
macher learned the purpose for which it was
desired a bargain had been made Just as the
check, representing several thousand dollars, was
being passed, Mr. Schumacher learned that the
purchasers were brewers and broke off the sale,
saying 81 could use the money very conveniently
in the present crisis, but under no circumstances
will I be party to any part of the liquor bust
ness
In 1885, in part owing to the growth of trusts,
and in part to the financial stringency of the
years just preceding, Mr.. Schumacher suffered
severe financial reverses which largely curtaed
his ability to give in the latter part of his life.
The respect and confidence of his fellow cti-
zens were not in anywise impaired, however, and
the courage with which he struggled with diff
cultes added to the esteem in which he was held.
In addition to his gifts to the Prohibition
party Mr.. Schumacher was liberal contributor
to church enterprises and was the principal
founder of Buchtel College.
