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.

  	Paul Lynn Gardner 3 hrs · Duncansville, PA 201600722 On Monday I drove up to Jersey Shore, PA to meet with Frank Moyer Shoendorfer and his wife Joyce. Actually the first time I met Frank and his wife was at the Kortz Reunion in June. Frank is the son of the late Frank Ludwig Schoendorfer and Henrietta Moyer of Jersey Shore and the grandson of Anna Mosch and Frank Schoendorfer. Frank M.and Joyce reside in Collegeville, PA and spend summers just north of Jersey Shore. Frank gave me a tour of Jersey Shore including the homes where his parents and grandparents lived. I was also given a tour of the river end of town where my Grandparents, Hertha Mosch and Egbert McElroy resided when Grandpa McElroy worked for the New York Central Railroad in the early 1900s. My mother Jane and her brother Clinton were also born in Jersey Shore in 1917 and 1919. We also visited the Schoendorfer family plot at the Jersey Shore Cemetery. Frank is a third generation of Schoendorfer musicians for which I will expand on in future posts. Paul Lynn Gardner's photo. Paul Lynn Gardner's photo.
