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).

My grandfather Egbert McElroy, married to Hertha Mosch, along with two of his brothers (Frank & Robert), played in Frank's band while working with the NY Central Railroad shops in Avis, PA.
My grandmother talked fondly of being close to her Aunt Anna and her Schoendorfer first cousins, when they lived in Jersey Shore.
