     FERDINAND SCHEIDEMANTLE,

 [p. 861] who is well established in the photographic business at Ellwood

 City, was born in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and is a son of John and

 Dorothy (Emmert) Scheidemantle.

 The father of Mr. Scheidemantle was born in Germany, and was brought to

 America by his parents when he was three years old. He engaged in

 farming for a number of years prior to 1894, when he moved to Ellwood

 City among its earliest settlers. He has been variously engaged and for

 the past seven years has been caretaker of one of the public school

 buildings. After coming to Ellwood City he built a fine residence at No.

 801 Crescent Avenue, where he still resides, his age being sixty-seven

 years. He married Dorothy Emmert, who was born in Butler County and died

 at Ellwood City, January 22, 1905. They had the following children:

 John, now residing at Pittsburg; George, a resident of Mahoningtown;

 William, who is deceased; Annie, who is the widow of Lewis Marburger;

 Charles, residing at Duquesne, Pa.; Clara, wife of J. E. Weigle,

 residing at Mahoningtown; Frank, living at Duquesne; Ferdinand, subject

 of this sketch; Ida, wife of N. E. Rodgers, residing at Hazel Dell;

 Emma, wife of William Hollerman, also of Hazel Dell; Walter, who is

 associated in business with his brother Ferdinand; and Herman, who is a

 resident of Erie Pa.

 From boyhood, Mr. Scheidemantle has been interested in photography, and

 from experimenting and the study of text books by himself, gradually

 increased his knowleage of the art until specimens of his work attracted

 attention, and subsequently led him into a prosperous business. For a

 time at the beginning limited means prevented his rapid progress, but he

 possesses the virtue of perseverance, together with his artistic

 talents, and has reached a high degree of success. He resides at No. 805

 Crescent Avenue, but a fine studio is being erected for his use, which

 will have all the equipments known to the modern photographer. He is a

 member of the Presbyterian Church at Ellwood City.

Hello Kim, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on our web page. This is exactly the kind of memories we love to hear. Really appreciate you sharing it with us.

On another note, you mentioned that your grandfather was Howard Scheidemantle, do you know if your great grandfather was Ferdinand Scheidemantle? He lived at 805 Cresent Ave and died Jan 18, 1931 age 51. Ferdinand owned Scheidemantle Studios and I have a couple of pictures that he took and I am trying to find a descendant to get permission to use on our site.

Anyway, thank you for visiting our site and taking the time to leave a great comment.

Thank you

Benjamin J Davis
