Admin · March 9 at 8:51 AM FRANK SCHOENDORFER (1867-1935) Frank Schoendorfer was born March 14, 1867 in Vienna, Austria. He received musical training at the Vienna Conservatory. He came to the United States in 1887 and was engaged with his music in New York City and Philadelphia. Following this he traveled to Germania, PA, with an excursion of artists, and started his band career as organizer and director of the Germania Band. In the ensuing years he organized and directed bands at Ulysses, Coudersport, PA., Corning and Wellsville, NY. He also was engaged as musical instructor and assistant conductor of music at the Mansfield State Normal School. One of his most memorable accomplishment was when he was the baritone soloist in John Philip Sousa’s Band in 1905. The attached photo depicts the New York Central Railroad Band with Frank Schoendorfer as Director. This photo was taken in front of the Jersey Shore Elks Club on Main Street. As you see in the photo, Frank's Daughter Hilda Schoendorfer Coates and her husband Francis Drew Coates also played in the band at that time. This building stands today and is located on South Main Street in Jersey Shore, PA. In 1889, two years after Frank’s arrival in America, he married Anna Elizabeth Mosch (1871-1935). I do not have particular details, but I’m sure he met Anna Mosch on his muscial excursion to Germania. Anna was the fifth child of Carl Herman Mosch and Caroline Scheider. Frank is the first of four generations of Frank Shoendorfer’s in this leg of the family. Frank’s son was named Frank Ludwig Schoenoderfer (1902-1968), his son was named Frank Moyer Schoendorfer (b. 1931), and his son was named Frank Moyer Schoendorfer Jr. (b. 1956).

On January 15, 1895 he married Elizabeth Flurschutz of DuBruce, NY born September 25, 1876. Christian owned and operated a hotel in Colesburg during the lumbering history of that town. He later conducted a general store there. From Colesburg he moved to Galeton where he opened a clothing store. It was this business that Otto C. Mosch bought in 1908. From there Chris moved to Elmira where he had a men’s clothing store. According to Chris’ great-grandson, Ken Habeck, he also had a real estate business in Elmira and owned many properties. Chris and Elizabeth had three children: Mabel Mosch 1895-1939, Walter Dewey Mosch 1896-1969 and Glenn Ernest Mosch 1901-1986.

A shot, which was fired by a young companion, ricocheted, the bullet entering young Grabe\'s head, above the temple. He was rushed to a hospital at Jacksonville, where the bullet was located and removed, and last reports state his condition to be as favorable as can be expected.

Frank Schoendorfer, born in Vienna, Austria 14 Mar 1867, son of Ludwig Schoendorfer, a German, and Francisca Elias, a Viennese. He moved with his parents to Germany when he was four years old, later returning to Austria where he completed three years of military training. His musical career started in his early childhood in Fuessen, Germany. He also studied in Vienna and later completed a three year study in Budapest, Austria. Upon his arrival in the United States on 31 Dec 1887, he was engaged with his music in New York City and Philadelphia. Following this he traveled to Germania, PA, with an excursion of artists, and started his band career as organizer and director of the Germania Band. On 7 Mar 1889, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna E Mosch of Germania, Daughter to Karl Herman and Caroline Scheider Mosch. In the ensuing years he organized and directed bands at Ulysses, Coudersport, PA., Corning and Wellsville, NY. He also was engaged as musical instructor and assistant conductor of music at the Mansfield State Normal School. One of the highlights of his life was the time he spent as baritone soloist in John Phillip Sousa's Band during the season of 1905. Mr. Schoendorfer was director of the famous New York Central Railroad Band here from the time of his arrival from Wellsville on 21 Jun 1911, until he was retired by the railroad on 30 Sep 1932. He was employed as a blacksmith at the Avis and Albany shops. His musical career as director of the band was well known in virtually every town on the New York Central railway. During World War One, the Avis band took an active part in campaigns held throughout the country. The high esteem in which he was held by NYC officials is attested in the fact that he was always called upon to direct the massed bands of seven and eight hundred pieces at the annual gatherings of railroad employees. These events were held in large cities such as Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. He was a member of the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra and assisted in various other symphonic organizations in surrounding communities. He also assisted in the reorganization of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Band, Lock Haven and acted as its director and was instrumental in organizing bands in smaller towns throughout Central Pennsylvania.

I've searched my FTM tree and I cannot find the file in my FTM Media, nor do I have the information in this tree. But I obviously DID when I uploaded a couple months ago, because it's indicated in ancestrydotcom. I unlinked after uploading, this being one of my fears about syncing. UGH!!
Anybody else run into this?

HILDA SCHOENDORFER’S SECOND HUSBAND - LAWRENCE GRABE

Hilda Wilhelmina Schendorfer was born 05 Sep 1891 in Ulysses, PA to Anna Elizabeth Mosch and Frank Schoendorfer. Hilda’s father at one time was employed as a blacksmith at what was previously known as the Gordnier Foundry on Oak Street in Coudersport, thence Hilda attended high school in Coudersport and graduated in 1909.
She married Francis Drew Coates 10 Jun 1913 in Jersey Shore, where her father relocated the Scoendorfer family to head up the New York Central RR Band.
Francis was born 25 Mar 1892 in Whitesville, NY to Isabelle O’Connel and Chandler Coates.
He died 26 Nov 1949 in Herkimer, NY. I do not have a timeline for Hilda’s eventual relocation to Florida, but we know that
she remarried a previous Coudersport High School classmate, Lawrence Scott Grabe, who appears in this 1909 class photo.
Lawrence was born 07 Apr 1890 in Coudersport to Emilie Breunle and Gustave Grabe.
He and Hilda were married 10 Feb 1969 in Ormond Beach, FL.
Their marriage was cut short with his death 01 Mar 1970.
Hilda died four years later on 12 Apr 1974 in Ormond Beach.

HILDA WILHELMINA SCHOENDORFER is the oldest child to Anna Elizabeth Mosch and Frank Schoendorfer. She was born 05 Sep 1891 in Ulysses, PA Hilda’s father at one time was employed as a blacksmith at what was previously known as the Gordnier Foundry on Oak Street in Coudersport, thence Hilda attended high school in Coudersport and graduated in 1909. She married Francis Drew Coates 10 Jun 1913 in Jersey Shore, where her father relocated the Schoendorfer family to head up the New York Central RR Band. Francis was born 25 Mar 1892 in Whitesville, NY to Isabelle O’Connel and Chandler Coates. He died 26 Nov 1949 in Herkimer, NY. Hilda and Francis had one son, Francis James Coates, born 30 Mar 1914 in Jersey Shore, PA. Francis Jr. died 05 Jun 1977 in Massillon, OH. I do not have a timeline for Hilda’s eventual relocation to Florida, but we know that she remarried a previous Coudersport High School classmate, Lawrence Scott Grabe. Lawrence was born 07 Apr 1890 in Coudersport to Emilie Breunle and Gustave Grabe. He and Hilda were married 10 Feb 1969 in Ormond Beach, FL. Their marriage was cut short with his death 01 Mar 1970. Hilda died four years later on 12 Apr 1974 in Ormond Beach.
CHRISTIAN ROBERT MOSCH is the youngest child, sixth son of Karl and Caroline Scheider Mosch. He was born in Germania 18 Nov 1874. On January 15, 1895 he married Elizabeth Flurschutz of DuBruce, NY born September 25, 1876. Christian owned and operated a hotel in Colesburg during the lumbering history of that town. He later conducted a general store there. From Colesburg he moved to Galeton where he opened a clothing store. It was this business that Otto C. Mosch bought in 1908. From there Chris moved to Elmira where he had a men’s clothing store. According to Chris’ great-grandson, Ken Habeck, he also had a real estate business in Elmira and owned many properties. Chris and Elizabeth had three children: Mabel Mosch 1895-1939, Walter Dewey Mosch 1896-1969 and Glenn Ernest Mosch 1901-1986. I don’t have any details, but Mabel was severely handicapped Elizabeth died 19 Sep 1950 and Chris died 09 Aug 1964.
Hilda and Christian are first cousins once removed.
