BIRTHDAY EVENT SUNDAY
----------
[picture]
----------
Sunday will mark the seventy-fifth birthday anniversary of one of Shelbyville's staunchest and most respected residents, John C. Schoelch. Having been in business for the past forty-two years in Shelbyville, Mr. Schoelch has a wide circle of friends and acquaintances throughout this and surrounding counties who extend heartiest congratulations on the event.
Mr. Schoelch who is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Matthias Schoelch has spent his entire life in Shelby county. His splendid principles and integrity in business and his charitable and steadfast nature have won the respect and love of all who know him.
Continuously, since 1890, he has been in the retail shoe business, owning and operating various stores since that time. At the present time he is in his place of business, the Hub shoe store, daily walking back and forth to work from his home, 353 west Broadway. He retains his usual good health.
His first place of business was in the 200 block in south Harrison street. A little more than a year after he opened the business in January 1890, on November 4, he suffered a fire loss when the entire block of building burned.
Following that and until 1899 he occupied a room now used by Cleon McCabe, on north Harrison street, returning to south Harrison street where he operated a store with his brother, Henry Schoelch. In 1916 the present store was established on south Harrison street, moving on the square on October 29, 1924. He served as a city councilman for four years and has been one of Shelbyville's civic and business leaders.
He is the father of three children, Mrs. Oscar Haehl and Frank Schoelch, associated with him in business, both of this city and Mrs. C. H. Stewart of Bloomington. There are four grandchildren.
