From what I understand, the Schuetzen Club was not unique to Germania. This was a traditional German marksmanship club, organized in other communities across the country where German settlers immigrated. From a book called “Historical Sketches of Potter County” The Germania Schuetzen Club or Verein was organized in 1894 with the leading spirit of Dr Charles Meine. A park was cleared to the rear of the club house and outdoor bowing alleys were built. The club had a lunch counter, but the biggest feature was that officialdom granted a special dispensation whereby the club could be open Sunday. Beer was not sold, but Germania got beer by the simple expedience of having each member pay 25 cents as an attendance fee. A later president of the club was Otto Braun who was instrumental in starting the Fourth of July hillclimbs which became a tradition along with the Sunday night club dances which drew large crowds from surrounding towns. The Schwarzenbach Brewery petitioned the court and was given permission to sell beer by the gallon during a period when the rest of the area was dry. A side note, mentioned in the book, indicated that Germania had two bands, the Schoendorfer (Frank Schoendorfer was married to Anna Mosch) and the Schwarzenbach, performed on many occasions. Dancing was always important as were picnics and suppers. Members of our families are listed in the club membership photo: 2. John Welfling, 19. Carl Mosch Jr, 21. Emil Mosch, 35. Carl Mosch Sr., 37. Emil Weber, 39. Herman Mosch & 54. Charles Welfling. Margery Ann Mosch wrote in her “Mosch Family History”: "Something should be said here concerning the Schuetzen Club (Shooting Club) at Germania. It was there that the Mosch Boys gathered most of the trophies in the competitive shooting and bowling events, and where the social life of the community centered. The sports enjoyed there are still dominant factors in our family life. Never were there such hunters or fishermen as the Mosch line produced. It is common knowledge that the largest deer and the longest trout were caught and shot by them. Their annual Schuetzen Verein has become a tradition in this Northern Pennsylvania region." One of those Mosch “shooters” was Christian Robert Mosch as pictured.

James E. Schwarzenback, for many years prominent in the business and political life of the city, died at 6:45 o'clock last evening in the Highland Hospital at Rochester where he had been a patient for the past four weeks. Death was due to cerebral thrombosis following chronic endocarditis. The body was brought to Hornell last evening and the funeral services will be held at the family home, No. 35 Union street, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and burial will take place in Hope cemetery. Mr. Schwarzenback had been in poor health about two years and since then had spent much of his time at his summer home at Loon Lake in an effort to recuperate. Four weeks ago he went to Rochester for treatment and although everything possible was done for him his case was regarded as hopeless since early in the week and his death was hourly expected. Yesterday at noon he was feeling much better than he had but late in the afternoon his condition suddenly changed for the worse. Native of Germania The death of Mr. Schwarzenbach causes a great deal of sorrow through out the city and in fact all over this section for he was unusually well known and well liked. For years he has been a leader among the businessmen of Steuben county. He was born in Germania, Pa., on March 26th, 1868, and was therefore 57 years old. His father, Joseph Schwarzenbach, came to the United States from Bavaria, Germany, in 1853 and in 1857 settled at Germania, Pa., where he established the brewing business that later became the Schwarzenbach Brewing Company, one of the largest in this end of the state. It was while the father was living at Germania that he married Louise Seebald and of the nine children born to them all but two grew to manhood and womanhood. James E. Schwarzenbach was the youngest of the family and was educated in the public schools of Germania. He had private tutors in the English and German languages and later received a business education at Detroit, Mich. While a young man he interested himself in lumbering and various other enterprises with successful results. At about this time he became one of the organizers and stockholders of the First National bank of Coudersport, Pa. Came to Hornell In 1895 he came to Hornell and with his brothers, Roland and Herman Schwarzenbach, built the plant of the Schwarzenbach Brewing Company here. The business developed with such rapidity that in 1900 the company built a brewery at Galeton, Pa. Later these two plants consolidated at which time the Schwarzenbach Brewing Company was organized and James Schwarzenbach was chosen president, a position he continued to hold from that time on. For many years he has been a director in the Hornell Fair Association and one of the men most interested in its success. He was also vice president and a director in the Steuben Trust Company and at the time of the construction of Mannerchor Hall devoted a lot of time and money to the project with which he was connected to the end. Among the many other projects in which he was interested was the Hornell-Bath Interurban Electric Railroad, a scheme that was never completed. In city affairs he was also active, having served several terms as a commissiner of the department of public works. He was also a director of the Chamber of Commerce for many years and served as its president. Twice he was elected president of the Hornell Automobile Club, of which he was a charter member and in which he was very active. Was Democratic Leader It was largely through his political activities that Mr. Schwarzenbach became so well known all over the state. He was a staunch and loyal Democrat and served many years as the Democratic State Committeeman in this district. It was due a great deal to his ability as a leader and organizor that the party attaned so much strength here at that time. He was one time a candidate for member of assembly in this district and ran far ahead of the ticket. In 1908 he was appointed as one of the "big four" alternate delegates at large to represent the Empire State at the national convention of the Democratic party at Denver. Mr. Schwarzenbach was a commissioner in connection with the Hudson-Fulton celebration and acted with President Schurmann of Cornell and other leading men of the state in connection with that affair. For several years he was president of the New York & Pennsylvania Bottlers' Association. On May 17th, 1900, he was married to Miss Marie S. Zieger of this city, by whom he is survived, as well as two children, Norman Robert, and Helen Lois, both of Hornell. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Henry Theis and Mrs. Fred Hug of Germania, Pa. The daughter was to have graduated Monday from Mount Saint Joseph's Academy in Buffalo. Good Roads Enthusiast Since his health began to fail, a few years ago, Mr. Schwarzenbach has retired more and more from active business life but nevertheless he never hesitated to exercise his influence to aid any movement that had the betterment of Hornell and vicinity as its object. He was one of the men most instrumental in obtaining early state road construction throughout this section and he has continued as a good roads enthusiast ever since. In fact a great deal of credit is due to him for obtaining the designation of the Hornell-Loon Lake road just recently. His loss will be keenly felt for he was a man well liked by all who knew him and one who was unselfish in his efforts to aid others. He was a member of Hornellsville Lodge No. 331, F & A.

Dies After Long Illness -
- Prominent Hornell Man Passes Away in Rochester Hospital Last Evening
- Funeral Here Sunday Afternoon.
James E. Schwarzenback, for many years prominent in the business and political life of the city, died at 6:45 o'clock last evening in the Highland Hospital at Rochester where he had been a patient for the past four weeks. Death was due to cerebral thrombosis following chronic endocarditis. The body was brought to Hornell last evening and the funeral services will be held at the family home, No. 35 Union street, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and burial will take place in Hope cemetery.
Mr. Schwarzenback had been in poor health about two years and since then had spent much of his time at his summer home at Loon Lake in an effort to recuperate. Four weeks ago he went to Rochester for treatment and although everything possible was done for him his case was regarded as hopeless since early in the week and his death was hourly expected. Yesterday at noon he was feeling much better than he had but late in the afternoon his condition suddenly changed for the worse.
Native of Germania
The death of Mr. Schwarzenbach causes a great deal of sorrow through out the city and in fact all over this section for he was unusually well known and well liked. For years he has been a leader among the businessmen of Steuben county. He was born in Germania, Pa., on March 26th, 1868, and was therefore 57 years old. His father, Joseph Schwarzenbach, came to the United States from Bavaria, Germany, in 1853 and in 1857 settled at Germania, Pa., where he established the brewing business that later became the Schwarzenbach Brewing Company, one of the largest in this end of the state. It was while the father was living at Germania that he married Louise Seebald and of the nine children born to them all but two grew to manhood and womanhood. James E. Schwarzenbach was the youngest of the family and was educated in the public schools of Germania. He had private tutors in the English and German languages and later received a business education at Detroit, Mich. While a young man he interested himself in lumbering and various other enterprises with successful results.
At about this time he became one of the organizers and stockholders of the First National bank of Coudersport, Pa. Came to Hornell
In 1895 he came to Hornell and with his brothers, Roland and Herman Schwarzenbach, built the plant of the Schwarzenbach Brewing Company here. The business developed with such rapidity that in 1900 the company built a brewery at Galeton, Pa. Later these two plants consolidated at which time the Schwarzenbach Brewing Company was organized and James Schwarzenbach was chosen president, a position he continued to hold from that time on. For many years he has been a director in the Hornell Fair Association and one of the men most interested in its success. He was also vice president and a director in the Steuben Trust Company and at the time of the construction of Mannerchor Hall devoted a lot of time and money to the project with which he was connected to the end. Among the many other projects in which he was interested was the Hornell-Bath Interurban Electric Railroad, a scheme that was never completed. In city affairs he was also active, having served several terms as a commissiner of the department of public works. He was also a director of the Chamber of Commerce for many years and served as its president. Twice he was elected president of the Hornell Automobile Club, of which he was a charter member and in which he was very active.
Was Democratic Leader
It was largely through his political activities that Mr. Schwarzenbach became so well known all over the state. He was a staunch and loyal Democrat and served many years as the Democratic State Committeeman in this district. It was due a great deal to his ability as a leader and organizor that the party attaned so much strength here at that time. He was one time a candidate for member of assembly in this district and ran far ahead of the ticket. In 1908 he was appointed as one of the "big four" alternate delegates at large to represent the Empire State at the national convention of the Democratic party at Denver. Mr. Schwarzenbach was a commissioner in connection with the Hudson-Fulton celebration and acted with President Schurmann of Cornell and other leading men of the state in connection with that affair. For several years he was president of the New York & Pennsylvania Bottlers' Association.
On May 17th, 1900, he was married to Miss Marie S. Zieger of this city, by whom he is survived, as well as two children, Norman Robert, and Helen Lois, both of Hornell. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Henry Theis and Mrs. Fred Hug of Germania, Pa. The daughter was to have graduated Monday from Mount Saint Joseph's Academy in Buffalo.
Good Roads Enthusiast
Since his health began to fail, a few years ago, Mr. Schwarzenbach has retired more and more from active business life but nevertheless he never hesitated to exercise his influence to aid any movement that had the betterment of Hornell and vicinity as its object. He was one of the men most instrumental in obtaining early state road construction throughout this section and he has continued as a good roads enthusiast ever since. In fact a great deal of credit is due to him for obtaining the designation of the Hornell-Loon Lake road just recently. His loss will be keenly felt for he was a man well liked by all who knew him and one who was unselfish in his efforts to aid others. He was a member of Hornellsville Lodge No. 331, F & A. M., Steuben Chapter, Commandery, No. 22, Knights Templar; Hornellsville Lodge No. 364, B. P. O. Elks and Hornell Lodge, No. 210, L. O. O. Moose. [Canisteo Times (Canisteo, NY) June 19, 1925]

SCHUETZEN CLUB (Schuetzenverein)

When I discovered this collection of photos, I wanted to write something about them, but quite frankly, I have little to say other than some of our Mosch and Kortz family members participated in activities at the Schuetzen Club.

From what I understand, the Schuetzen Club was not unique to Germania. This was a traditional German marksmanship club, organized in other communities across the country where German settlers immigrated. From a book called “Historical Sketches of Potter County” The Germania Schuetzen Club or Verein was organized in 1894 with the leading spirit of Dr Charles Meine. A park was cleared to the rear of the club house and outdoor bowing alleys were built. The club had a lunch counter, but the biggest feature was that officialdom granted a special dispensation whereby the club could be open Sunday. Beer was not sold, but Germania got beer by the simple expedience of having each member pay 25 cents as an attendance fee. A later president of the club was Otto Braun who was instrumental in starting the Fourth of July hillclimbs which became a tradition along with the Sunday night club dances which drew large crowds from surrounding towns. The Schwarzenbach Brewery petitioned the court and was given permission to sell beer by the gallon during a period when the rest of the area was dry. A side note, mentioned in the book, indicated that Germania had two bands, the Schoendorfer (Frank Schoendorfer was married to Anna Mosch) and the Schwarzenbach, performed on many occasions. Dancing was always important as were picnics and suppers.

Members of our families are listed in the club membership photo: 2. John Welfling, 19. Carl Mosch Jr, 21. Emil Mosch, 35. Carl Mosch Sr., 37. Emil Weber, 39. Herman Mosch & 54. Charles Welfling.

Margery Ann Mosch wrote in her “Mosch Family History”:

"Something should be said here concerning the Schuetzen Club (Shooting Club) at Germania. It was there that the Mosch Boys gathered most of the trophies in the competitive shooting and bowling events, and where the social life of the community centered. The sports enjoyed there are still dominant factors in our family life. Never were there such hunters or fishermen as the Mosch line produced. It is common knowledge that the largest deer and the longest trout were caught and shot by them. Their annual Schuetzen Verein has become a tradition in this Northern Pennsylvania region." One of those Mosch “shooters” was Christian Robert Mosch as pictured.

I participated in one several times as a guest in the 1980's-90's at one in Sandhofen, near our chemical plant in Mannheim, Germany, in particular the Kegeln (sort of bowling), with associated kitchen for beer and bar food- not nearly the scale of this, but an interesting hold-over. Great post, Paul Lynn Gardner!
