The March number of THE North
WESTERN a monthly magazine issued
by Northwestern railway employees.
contains picture and the following
story of Charles Schram. the well
known Norfolk engineer, who has de
cided to retire:
II is pleasure TO the writer of this
article to he able to say We have lived
close neighbOr to Charley Schram for
quarter of a century and know
whereof we speak when we say he is
good neighbor in the true sense of
the word. Recently Charleys health
has not been good and he finally de
cided TO retire, the company placing
him upon the pension roll.
Mr.. SChram was born in Culberg.
Germany, in 1850 but when IA years
of age his parents decided TO come to
'the land of the free" taking a home
near Chicago. Five years later Char
ley went TO Boone, la. and took EN-
plOyment in the roundhouse with the
Chicago and Northwestern railway.
While on the first rung of the ladder
Charley won for a life partner Miss
Minnie Kinney, who has proved to be
one of the 'uncrowned queens" of
America. To them five daughters and
three sons have been born, all living
save John, the first boy, who died Just
as he reached his manhood.
In 1876 Charley was sent out firing.
and on st. Patrck's day, 1881. was
promoted to be an engineer, so while
his brothers from the Emerald Isle
were celebrating their national holi-
day Charles was having a little cele-
bration of his own. He was running
pusher on Mongonia at the time Kate
Shelley'S name was made famous, and
was sent west to inspect the track.
While walking over bridge across
swollen stream, ahead of Section Fore
man John ONeill, tie gave way and
John was carried to his death.
Here Thirty.one Years.
In 1889 Charley came to the then
F. f. & NJ. V. Ry., now the n. & w.
division of the Chicago and North
western, and took an engine, running
out of Norfolk, where he built him
beautiful home, in which he has since
resided. He and his good wife have
the happy faculty of knowing a good
thing when they see it, and they have
been successful with their invest
ments. When they got piece of prop
erty they Immediately improved it
and set out trees, thus giving nature
chance to help them
Charley has played a good game at
railroading, and when his turn came
he was always ready. He had no fear
OF heavy train nor long switch lists,
and when the bowling blizzard swept
across the prairies he never flinched,
but stood his ground
His two remaining sons are with
